The part where we sail
A passage is a journey by sea from one point to another. It has a heading, that is, a direction, and a duration.
On an outing it is the spell in which the sailing boat moves across the water. We leave the harbour, set a heading for the coast of the cliffs and sail. It is the heart of the day at sea.
During the passage many things happen at once. You feel the wind, you look at the horizon and you search for cetaceans calmly. There is no tight schedule. There is time to enjoy each moment.
How we live it on board
Our passage runs along the south-west coast of Tenerife, within the Teno-Rasca Marine Strip. It is a protected area of the Natura 2000 network, a sea full of life that we care for.
On every outing a professional skipper is in command and a specialist guide comes along. The skipper handles the boat safely. The guide helps you understand what you see, from a seabird to a group of dolphins.
When animals appear, the passage becomes very slow. We reduce speed and keep quiet. That silence under sail is what lets the wildlife come closer on its own. We do not chase: we accompany.
A journey to be enjoyed along the way
On many journeys what matters is arriving. On a passage under sail the opposite happens. The good part occurs during the trip.
The landscape is already a gift. The Los Gigantes cliffs rise huge above the sea and are seen from the water as nowhere else. To that are added the smell of salt, the gentle rocking of the sailing boat and the sense of time stretching out. For us that is what we share: not an excursion from one place to another, but an experience to be savoured without haste.
