Alfer Adventure 10th to 25th November
- The Canary Islands
Warmed by the Gulf Stream and cooled by Atlantic breezes, the Canary Islands - Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote, La Palma, Fuerteventura, La Gomera and El Hierro - have a near-perfect climate all year round. Whether or not they are the classical Fortunate Isles, they are an ideal destination to escape from the chills of the British winter.

An ideal opportunity to build miles and gain experience of long distance passage making. This leg is suitable for those wanting to achieve their Coastal Skipper (Tidal) Practical Certificate or equivalent experience. We anticipate a non stop passage to the Canary Islands to take a maximum of 6 days, allowing time before our return journey to explore inland on one of the islands. All meals are included except for evening meals once we arrive in the Canary Islands.
A potentially challenging experience, against the prevailing winds and current make the satisfaction of achievement all the greater. Singles and couples welcome, no experience necessary – but a sense of adventure vital! ... for more info
