With such a mild climate, (temperatures that vary between 20 C and 27C) Gran Canarias offers perfect sailing all year round. Right in the path of the fabled trade winds, it is a true, sailor’s paradise.

Dating back to Ancient Greece, these gorgeous islands have been fascinating sea farers and other travelers. The varied landscape with its myriad volcanoes, pristine beaches, and its  rich forests and desserts, have delighted visitors for millennia.  It was even thought that the island of Atlantis was one of these islands. 

For hundreds of years this small group of islands lay largely unknown, visited only by pirates, and other craft, that   strayed into the Atlantic from the their usual Mediterranean  routes:  And so it remained until the 14^th century,  when the Genoese captain Lanzarotto Malocello  arrived  there,  and found  the island that would later bear his name: Lanzarote. From then on, slavers, pirates and missionaries were regular visitors; the island became a popular tourist destination in the latter half of the 20^th century.

The seven islands are spaced out in such a way, that each island is only  one day’s sail away;  one from the other. A   typical sail might go like this: Start from the north, head over to Lanzarote, or Fuerteventura and then on to The Gran Canarias, following that Tenerife, then La Gomera, El Hierro and La Palma, for a glorious and unforgettable week.
