The Canary Islands are located off the coast of warm Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. It is an archipelago of seven large and a number of small islands. The close proximity to the famous Sahara Desert provides a favorable microclimate for sailing, even in winter. Yachting in the Canary Islands – the season starts here in November, when ships come from the cold Mediterranean, and finishes in March, when sailing enthusiasts return to Mediterranean waters.
The yacht base of the Sparks Life company is located on the island of Tenerife – this is the largest and most amazing area. On a one-week tour with us, you can visit three or four islands. For a 14-day cruise, you can easily get around all seven islands.
