The starting point

You want to sail, not take a walk

Tenerife has one of the largest boat offerings in Europe and almost all of it is motorized: hourly rental boats, excursion catamarans with two hundred seats, two-hour departures with closed hours. Perfect if what you are looking for is some time in the water. Frustrating if what you wanted was to raise sail.

And there is a second, quieter frustration: those who do know how to sail arrive in the Canary Islands expecting little and find that there is real wind here —constant trade wind, inter-island channels, acceleration zones—and they end up spending the week on a boat because they didn't know there was another option.

The problem is not the lack of boats. The fact is that the ones there are are almost all for something else.

The proposal

12 cruising sailboats to navigate the real Canary Islands

The sailboat rental in Tenerife is the way of sailing that best fits this archipelago. The Canary Islands have wind almost all year round, inter-island channels that cross at good speed and short distances between islands: a cruising sailboat takes advantage of all this much better than any other boat.

At ECC Yacht we have 12 own sailboats from 38 to 55 feet, almost all of them Jeanneau, Bénéteau and Bavaria, with lengths ranging from Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 380 to the Jeanneau Yacht 54. They are real cruise boats — three to five cabins, two or three bathrooms, full kitchen — designed to spend a week on board, not for a one-hour return.

From November to April the fleet is in Tenerife, based in Marina del Sur (Las Galletas, Arona) and in Marina Santa Cruz. It is the window in which renting sailboats in the Canary Islands makes the most sense: the trade winds ease compared to summer, the sea is more manageable and the temperature does not drop below 20 °C.

How to choose

Which sailboat is best for you according to your group

The length dictates the price, but what really decides the comfort of the week is the number of cabins and bathrooms per person.

👫

Couple or four people — 38 to 41 feet

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 380 (Cotufa), a 2025 unit. Three cabins for four people means a spare cabin for luggage and sails. It is the most manageable sailboat in the fleet and the cheapest to moor in the ports you visit.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Family or group of 6 to 8 — 41 to 45 feet

Sun Odyssey 410 (Tomeu), Sun Odyssey 419 (Turrun Turrun), Oceanis 41 (Katalina), Oceanis 43 (Tasmanian Devil) or Bavaria 45 (Akilina). It is the segment with the best price-space ratio of the entire fleet and the most economical entry point: from €2,000 per week.

🛏️

Two families or 10 people — 47 to 55 feet

Sun Odyssey 490 (Little Mia), Sun Odyssey 519 (Te Fiti), Oceanis 51.1 (Le Grand) and the two Jeanneau Yachts 54 (Joulukka and Totufo). Five cabins with three bathrooms: the configuration that allows ten people to live together for a week without friction.

🧭

If you are going to cross channels

For crossings between islands—La Gomera, La Palma, Gran Canaria—it is worth increasing the length. A boat of 45 feet or more is more comfortable in the sea formed by the channel and arrives earlier, which is important in the Canary Islands: it is advisable to cross with light.

🆕

If you want a recent boat

Cotufa is from 2025, Majadero from 2024, Le Grand from 2024 and Totufo from 2023. The fleet is continually renewed, so there are practically new units in several segments of price.

⚖️

Sailboat or catamaran

The sailboat sails better upwind, costs much less and transmits much more. The catamaran does not list, has more habitable surface and less draft. If the group includes people who get seasick or small children, the catamaran wins.

Sailing

How to sail in Tenerife

The first thing that surprises those who arrive from the Mediterranean is that here there is a real wind. The northeast trade wind blows steadily for much of the year and allows sailing without turning on the engine for entire days, something that in the Balearic Islands in the middle of August is more the exception than the norm.

The second thing is the relief. Tenerife has 3,700 meters of volcano in the middle, and that does two things: it creates a calm zone to the lee —the south and southwest face of the island, sheltered, with flat seas and clear water—and compresses the wind at the ends and in the channels between islands, the so-called acceleration zones. In a few miles you can go from sailing with two reefs to being left without wind under the shelter of Teide.

That is not a problem, it is what makes sailing here interesting, but it is worth knowing before leaving. In the check-in briefing we review the report with you, where the accelerations are that day, what anchorages they can hold according to the wind component and what time it is best to leave if you are going to cross to La Gomera. It is exactly the type of information that an online boat search engine is not going to give you.

If you do not have a qualification or prefer not to be responsible for sailing in a new destination, any of the 12 sailboats can be hired with a professional skipper. And if you have it and want the boat for yourself, the modality is bareboat.

«I have shared with Ángel Escolar Escuder (ECC Yach Charter) an unforgettable crossing between Mallorca and Tenerife. As captain, he has at all times generated the necessary security and confidence for navigation decisions […]. The boat, the Machango, an excellent catamaran equipped with more comforts and equipment than one would expect, a luxury.»

«I have rented sailboats between 30 and 45 on more than 8 occasions and it is the first time that I would repeat with the same company. The boat was an Oceanis 43 […] it was in very good condition and caused no problems. As for payment, everything has been done in order and with invoices; the deposit managed and returned.»

Frequently asked questions

What we are asked most about renting sailboats in Tenerife

How much does it cost to rent a sailboat in Tenerife?

The renting sailboats in Tenerife with ECC Yacht starts at €2,000/week for an Oceanis 43 with four cabins. Sailboats from 44 to 47 feet range between €3,100 and €4,100, and the high range—Oceanis 51.1 and Jeanneau Yacht 54—between €4,300 and €5,500 per week.

To that we must add the final cleaning (€190–€240 depending on cabins) and the gas bottle (€25), which They are mandatory, plus the skipper if you hire him: €1,500/week plus meals on board.

What qualification do I need to rent a sailboat without a skipper?

You need a valid nautical qualification—PER or international equivalent—and demonstrable experience on boats of similar length. Our sailboats are cruise boats of 38 to 55 feet, not light vessels, and in the Canary Islands there are acceleration channels that require judgment.

If you do not have a qualification, any of the 12 sailboats are hired with a professional skipper and you do not need a license of any kind. It is the option that we recommend for a first week in the archipelago.

How many people can fit on a sailboat?

It depends on the length. The 38 and 41 foot sailboats carry 6 people in 3 cabins; those from 41 to 45 feet, 8 people in 3 or 4 cabins; and those from 47 to 55 feet have 10 or 11 seats in 5 cabins with 3 bathrooms.

Our practical recommendation: for a whole week, calculate one cabin for every two people and do not rush the maximum capacity. An Oceanis 43 approved for 10 is comfortable with 8.

Can you sail all year round in the Canary Islands?

Yes, but not all year round is equally pleasant. The northeast trade blows steadily for much of the year, and in July and August it does so quite strongly, especially in the acceleration zones between the islands.

Our Canarian season runs from November to April precisely because it is when the wind eases, the sea is more manageable and the temperature remains between 20 and 23 °C. From May to October the fleet sails in Mallorca.

What is the difference between a sailboat and a catamaran to sail in Tenerife?

The sailboat sails better upwind, costs considerably less to rent and moor, and is what those who want to really sail are looking for. Heel, which is part of the experience for some and an inconvenience for others.

The catamaran does not heel, it has much more living space, four bathrooms and a shallower draft that allows it to get closer to the coast. It is the logical choice if small children or someone prone to seasickness are traveling.

From which port does the sailboat leave?

From Marina del Sur, in Las Galletas (Arona), which is our main base on the island and is a quarter of an hour from the Tenerife Sur airport, or from Marina Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Los Llanos Commercial Dock.

The specific base depends on the boat and the route you have planned: if you are going to cross to Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz is better; for everything else, the south.

What is the minimum duration of a sailboat rental?

Our main format is the weekly charter from Saturday to Saturday, with check-in from 16:00 and check-out the following Saturday at 09:00. It is where the best price per day is achieved and where the fleet is designed to perform.

Outside of that format we offer shorter departures according to availability: consultation rental for one day or per hour.

Can I take the sailboat to La Gomera or another island?

Yes. San Sebastián de La Gomera is about 22–25 nautical miles from Las Galletas, a half-day crossing. With a full week you can also link La Palma and El Hierro, or cross the fifty-five miles to Gran Canaria.

We only ask that the route be discussed in the briefing: the inter-island channels are known acceleration zones and it is advisable to plan the departure time with the report in hand.

What does the sailboat rental price include?

Includes full use of the boat for seven nights, regulatory safety equipment, tableware and kitchenware, bedding and the departure technical briefing with one of our sailors.

Does not include fuel, moorings in the ports you visit, final cleaning or gas bottle. The pattern is optional. The deposit (€2,500–€3,000 depending on the boat) is given at check-in and is returned in full at closing if the boat returns in good condition.
