Sailing holiday in the Canary Islands ⛵ a week between Tenerife, La Gomera and La Palma. Wake up on the water off La Gomera, an island most people only ever reach by sea, ancient laurel forest above the clouds behind you and open Atlantic ahead of the bow 🌊 You fly into Tenerife and live aboard a monohull yacht for a week. Steady Atlantic trade winds run all winter here, so the week is built around real passages. The route stays flexible, weather and the group decide the rest. ⚓ On board: take the helm as often as you like, stand a watch if you want one, sailing lessons for anyone who wants them. Swim stops in bays you can only reach by yacht, dinner together on deck. 🌋 On land: lava fields and several climate zones in one day on Tenerife, hiking above the clouds through laurel forest and jungle on La Gomera, and on La Palma the volcano that erupted a few years ago and has gone quiet again, with fresh lava fields you can walk right up to.

My next sailing trip is the Ibiza Flotilla, 10 to 17 October, and I'll have been all five of these guys 😂 Eight years and more than 700 guests later, I still get asked about the toilet more often than about the wind. I don't mind. Somewhere between the cocktail and the pasta is where the week actually happens.

One week sailing trip around Ibiza and Formentera. You swim off the back of the yacht before coffee, and by Wednesday nobody at breakfast is checking their phone 🌊 Up to nine people on board, a flexible route through Formentera, Espalmador and Es Vedrà, and a group that arrives as strangers and does not leave that way.
