We charter the whole boat for our guests only and enjoy the Sailing Day.
Our 50ft sailing yacht has a spacious cabin and large teak deck on
which you can relax and enjoy some exhilarating sailing. Cruises leave Puerto Calero daily at 11.00am and return at approximately 4.00 pm. We start the day with a glass of bubbly on the yacht before leaving
the marina to sail to the lovely Papagayo bay and anchor for a relaxing lunch, where you can swim and snorkel in the crystal clear waters. You can take part in the sailing as much or as little as you wish throughout the day. The yacht has 3 double cabins with small ensuite for those staying on board. Winds in Lanzarote are generally very good and you can expect a taste of real sailing in a big yacht. If you are interested in the principles of sailing and would like to learn more and take an active part, then please ask. The skipper will be only to pleased to give you some tuition and allow you to take the helm!
