Yacht charter: The Canary Islands

The Canary Islands lie in the Atlantic, a different island setting from Spain’s Mediterranean coast.

An Atlantic island destination

Do not plan the Canaries on the model of a Balearic trip. The Atlantic islands’ layout and departure point give the route its own geography. Compare the actual island and base when choosing a boat charter rather than relying on the general Canary Islands label.

Before you charter

What is bareboat charter?

You charter the boat and provide your own suitably qualified skipper and crew. Qualification requirements vary by boat, operator and sailing area. We help check your documents and the charter terms for your chosen boat.

What will your charter cost?

The search price is the boat's charter price. The boat page lists known mandatory charges, optional extras and a separate security deposit. Review the complete offer for your dates; any costs still awaiting confirmation must be checked before booking.

How does a charter request work?

  1. Choose your dates, departure base and boat.
  2. Review the charter price, charges, deposit and qualification requirements.
  3. Send your request. Yachting Planet checks availability and terms before confirming the charter.
