The Canary Islands are ports of call on major voyages of yachts sailing down from Europe to spend the winter months in their pleasant climate.

In the Trade Winds season, the islands get filled with vessels, preparing for their Atlantic crossing.
San Sebastian de La Gomera, one of the main ports of departure on a westbound transatlantic passage.
