If you are looking for exhilarating sailing, stunning scenery, good food and a sense of adventure then you must take this opportunity to charter a yacht in the Canaries.
During a week, you can explore any our beautiful islands such as La Gomera, visit Tenerife , or the unspoilt western islands of El Hierro & La Palma. Though, it is not easy to stop rushing, try to slow down and enjoy some exhilarating day sailing with leisurely evenings in the more traditional Spanish style. 
All yachts will be well equipped and carry all the latest charts, guides and pilotbooks but most Companies would be happy to advise on the best route to suit your pace. They will have a vast amount of experience to assist you locally.
Firstly lets look at the two types of Charter Hire on offer.
Bareboat Charter
You can charter either sail or power boats on your own (bare boat). If you would like to charter bare boat but are a bit rusty or need a bit of a confidence boost, why not hire a skipper for a day or two until you are happy on your own? All skippers will have extensive local knowledge and can advise you on an itinerary that would best suit your requirements.
To comply with Spanish law you will need an International Certificate of Competence (available from the RYA) or a similar recognised qualification.
Skippered Charter
If you would like to charter a yacht but do not have the experience or desire to sail it yourself, charter one with a skipper. The majority of skippers will be RYA trained and have extensive local knowledge.
temperatures are from 24º C to 18º January – ideal for those winter sun holidays. Ideal bathing conditions are available throughout the year. Due to the islands geographical location, some 4º from the tropic of cancer and very close to the African coast, the islands' climate is subtropical. The surprising landscape, with high mountains covered by snow very close to the beaches, is an additional attraction. Water temperature varies from 22º C in summer to 19º C in winter.
