The Balearic Islands are one of the Mediterranean’s favourite vacation destinations. With guaranteed sunshine, azure seas, and rugged pine covered coastlines the islands varied cruising with a real sense of history, lively harbours and an exciting nightlife. Enjoy anchoring in the dozens of hidden ‘calas’, explore the small coastal towns with their ancient cobbled streets and daily markets, or take the rib for a ‘tapas’ lunch in one of the many beachside restaurants.
Board your yacht in Palma, and either plan an itinerary around the island, or enjoy a more relaxed agenda in the sheltered anchorages of the east coast, where you can while away your days going from bay to bay or perhaps visiting the beautiful Cabrera Island Nature Reserve. If you want to venture further afield then cruise to Ibiza with its famous party scene, relax in the peaceful bays of Formentera, or spend a few days exploring the unspoilt coast of Menorca.

The Canary Islands are part of Spain and situated off the north western coast of Africa. The subtropical climate makes for a fantastic location for winter sailing and they are an extremely popular holiday destination. The Canaries consist of seven large islands: Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma, Gomera, and Hierroplus plus a few smaller ones. The landscape of each island is distinctly unique.
The weather in the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are an extremely challenging sailing area and only for experienced sailors. They are in the Atlantic with strong winds funnelling between the islands, they do not have the same protection as the Mediterranean and distances can be considerable.
The Canary Islands are warm year round with summer temperatures in the late 20’s and early 30’s, while in the winter months they average in the early 20’s.
