Is there an extra cost for travelling solo?

We believe single travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and single travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.

Where will we stay during the trip?

5 twin/double bed cabins with en suite or shared facilities.

Day 1

Isla de Tenerife

Arrive to the boat at 4pm for a welcome meeting and safety briefing. Settle into your cabins before heading ashore to pick up supplies for your upcoming adventure.

Day 2

Isla de Tenerife to San Sebastián de la Gomera

Set off on your first day of sailing from the island of Tenerife to La Gomera Island. Arrive to San Sebastian La Gomera in the afternoon and explore inland on the island and the national park. Opt to go for a gentle hike, enjoy the scenery at a local alfresco café, or explore the historical town of San Sebastian on your own. Meet up with your Skipper and group for dinner in the evening, and if you're feeling like some local nightlife you can stay out on the town after or head back to the yacht for an early night.

Day 3

San Sebastián de la Gomera/Santa Cruz de la Palma

With a long day at sea, try your hand at sailing or relax on deck. Arrive in Santa Cruz de la Palma in the early evening where you can begin to explore its variety of bars and cafés. With a long day at sea today you will have time to practice your skills at sailing the boat, cooking lunch on the hoof (eating while on the move), or simply rest up below deck. Relax for the evening on deck or explore the wonderful town on foot.

Day 4

Santa Cruz de la Palma

Spend the day ashore to discover and explore the lively city of Santa Cruz de la Palma. Visit the colourful Avenida Maritima, the impressive Iglesia del Salvador or wander the cobblestone streets surrounded by 15th century architecture. Finish the day at one of the many quaint bars and restaurants. Full of museums, architecture, and centuries-old historical sites, the cobblestone streets of Santa Cruz are full of activity. A local guide can be arranged, or your Skipper can give you tips on the best things to see and do.

Day 5

Santa Cruz de la Palma to La Gomera

Set off early back to the island of La Gomera, this time exploring the island from the comfort of the yacht. Find several isolated anchorages, enjoy walks on the beach, and swim/snorkel right off the boat. Join your fellow travellers and enjoy the team effort of cooking a meal onboard, and eat alfresco under the stars miles from anywhere. If weather permitting, tonight will will be spent on anchor, so sit in the cockpit and gaze at the stars, or play some fun games with your fellow travellers while enjoying the wilderness.

Day 6

La Gomera to Los Cristianos

Arrive in Los Cristianos in time for lunch. In the afternoon enjoy swimming in the famous bay, or go ashore to wander the waterfront.
