This experience, in a nutshell

LAST POSITION MAN!


Get on board with us for a week in the heat of the Canary Islands : a unique and unparalleled microcosm a few hours by plane from Italy.
We will sail with an Oceanis 473, wide and comfortable sailing boat, and we will go to the discovery of the largest protected marine reserve in Europe hoping to meet also the dolphins and the great blue whale.

We will visit Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura which, although close, are very different: Fuerteventura is characterized by a semi-desert landscape, being the closest to the Sahara , and has many beaches of fine white sand with crystal clear water; Gran Canaria is instead an island of lush nature, characterized by black lava coasts overlooking the sea and the golden sand dunes of Maspalomas that, in contrast to the intense blue color of the nearby ocean waters give a breathtaking spectacle. The islands are located west of the tropical area of ​​Morocco and are strongly influenced by the warm winds of the Sahara. The air temperature will therefore never drop below 24 ° and that of the sea below 21 ° making these islands an ideal place for an unforgettable holiday on a sailboat. The itinerary will be confirmed according to the weather. No sailing experience is required.

OUR MAXIMUM PROGRAM:
We will embark on Saturday, December 30 from Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria and, after making the galley, we will leave for the beautiful Playa Maspalomas on the south coast of the island. On New Year's Eve we will be in Playa del Inglés where we can choose among the numerous restaurants on the sea, enjoy the fireworks on the beach and, for those who wish, go dancing in one of the local area.

With the new year we will leave the mundane Gran Canaria to head in the enchanting and wild Fuerteventura. The crossing between the two islands will be pleasant, not binding, and we will arrive in the quaint village of Morro Jable on the south coast of Fuerteventura. In the following days we will move along the east coast, leeward, thus avoiding the part most exposed to winds and Atlantic waves. We will relax in the most beautiful and famous white sand beaches including: Playa de Sotavento, Playa de Costa Calma, Caleta de Fuste, Playa de Cofete and many others.
We will return to Gran Canaria halfway through our cruise. The island offers beautiful places to visit as the lonely and slightly wild bay of Gui Gui where you can enjoy the fascinating profile of the Teide volcano in the distance and Las Salinas in the quaint village of Las Nieves. The Playa de Mogan of the homonymous village, the rocky Playa de Guayedra dotted with volcanic black stones and the quiet cove of Faneroque also deserve a stop.
We will spend a week in the company of intense days dedicated to relaxation and navigation, pleasant evenings on the ground in the most characteristic places, aperitifs on the great ocean beaches and dinners in the cockpit sipping a glass of wine.

Discovering the Cinque Terre and Gulf of Poets on a sailing boat

The 3 stars are an average of several things: the skipper Francesco is an excellent person and very prepared, friendly and company, for him the stars would be 5. Very nice place, too bad for the sea a bit rough but it was no one's fault. The boat, on the other hand, was old and not very well maintained, there were 11 of us but there was no place to stay all in the shade and even the places in the sun were very uncomfortable. There was no way to charge the phones (only 2 sockets working and only when the engine was on) and finally 5 cabins of which 2 half of the others are bunk cabins while one of the double rooms even had a private bathroom, too bad we all paid the same amount. Finally, squeaks everywhere that made moments of relaxation less relaxing.

Massimo was not present, he found a replacement, Francesco. He seemed to me to be not very proactive in working as a group, in giving explanations on the itinerary and in dealing with the inconveniences that arose during the weekend. An experience that turned out to be positive all in all thanks to the group, but I would have expected more attention.
