Following on our very successful previous trips, we hope to run another charter for two weeks in the Canaries in early January 2011.

These charter weeks are run in conjunction with Charlie Kavanagh of South East Cruising. Here's what Charlie had to say about a previous trip:

"We had two crews out to the Canaries in early 2008 - 5/12th Jan and 12/19th Jan. Our boat was a Beneteau 39.3, which had 6 for the 1st week and 4 for the second week (gears broke and we had a Bavaria 46 for 4 days). Weather was reasonable, decent wind on week 1 and plenty of sun on week 2. Everyone enjoyed the experience with 4 day skippers and 2 competent crew at the end - well done. We had wonderful experiences watching pilot whales and common dolphins on both weeks - a magical bonus".

Paddy Smyth of the Irish Times was also a participant and wrote about his experiences in the Irish Times Travel Supplement (March 22nd). You can read his article here.

The cost is approximately €900 per week for boat charter and instruction, not including flights. Contact us now.
