Routes

Mile builder from the Balearics to the Atlantic island of Madeira. From Palma, we sail to Alicante, continue to the Spanish enclave of Melilla, transit the Strait of Gibraltar, and then head into the Atlantic for the ocean passage to Madeira. On that final stretch we put the GPS away and find our way by sextant. The ocean passage is an RYA Yachtmaster Ocean qualifying passage.

Cruise the Atlantic islands from Madeira to the Canaries. From Madeira we will sail west along the coast to lively Funchal, round the island up to golden Porto Santo, out to the wild and uninhabited Desertas, then across open water to the green island of La Palma before finishing on Tenerife. A whole trip on the ocean, mixing short scenic hops with a proper offshore passage.
