Andalusia and the Canary Islands: Málaga and Tenerife · Nov 2026
From Málaga: with the feeling of a private yacht and authentic sailing
What makes the voyage of the Rhea special?
A distance passage from Málaga across open water to the Canary Islands. This leg covers longer stretches, at times sailing through the night under the stars, with time in between to anchor, swim and go ashore. For sailors who want to feel the expanse of the Atlantic without giving up beautiful stops.
Highlights
- Tenerife: Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peak, often rising above the clouds.
- Night watches under the stars: hands-on sailing on the open sea.
- Anchor stops along the route: time to swim and enjoy watersports.
- Arrival in the Canaries: subtropical climate and sheltered harbours.
A yacht voyage with beautiful stops for watersports and time ashore, but also longer legs sailed in part through the night. For everyone who enjoys the sailing itself.
