Join an unforgettable eight-day sailing expedition through some of the most remote and spectacular islands of the North Atlantic. Starting in Madeira and finishing in Gran Canaria, this unique voyage takes you across the Desertas Islands, the protected Selvagens Nature Reserve and the coastline of Tenerife before arriving at Puerto de Mogán.
Along the way, you’ll:
Sail under pristine skies ideal for astronomical observation with experts from the Madeira Astronomical Association.
Explore the remote Salvajes Islands with local guides, learning about their unique ecosystem.
Experience authentic local culture with onshore dinners and project presentations in Madeira, Tenerife, and Gran Canaria.
Enjoy the comfort of a fully equipped sailing yacht, shared tasks like provisioning, and camaraderie among fellow explorers.
A true expedition where navigation, science, and discovery merge into one unforgettable Atlantic crossing. Far more than a sailing holiday, this is an expedition designed for travellers passionate about the ocean, astronomy, marine wildlife and exploration.
Get closer to the stars and constellations with our astronomical equipment on board.
You will be accompanied by a professional skipper and an trained astronomer
Discover unique wildlife and vegetation found nowhere else on the planet
We will get away from light pollution, lie on the deck, and enjoy an amazing night sky
We will sail aboard a 40-foot sailboat

All you have to do is pre-book your activity and fill in the contact information required on the screen.
Shortly, the person in charge of the chosen activity will contact you and will indicate the method of payment (usually by bank transfer or bizum).
Our experiences are designed for anyone with an interest and no sailing or astronomy experience is required.
Our instructors and skippers love to share their knowledge with all those who visit us.
Before the activity you will receive a voucher with all the details of your reservation and with the main tips both for sailing and for making observations.
It will depend a lot on the time of the year and the area where you are going to do your activity, but keep in mind that as a general rule, in the sea even in summer it is always advisable to wear several clothes and if we are hot we will remove layers.
Always take some warm clothes for sailing!
The same thing happens when we do observations at night, that although they are months of heat, at night temperatures drop quite a lot and it is preferable to be prepared with a good jacket, a hat to cover our head and even gloves.
Of course.
It will depend on the availability in each case but it is very common to reserve a boat for a family or group exclusively.
All our boats are duly registered in List 6 and are covered by Civil Liability Insurance and SOVI (Compulsory Travelers Insurance).
Insurance to cover the typical case of not coming because my grandfather got sick is another matter.
In such cases, you have to take out personal insurance.
If you tend to get seasick, tell your skipper and he/she will give you some recommendations to avoid seasickness as much as possible, although they are not infallible since each body reacts differently to this situation.
Although it depends on each territory and especially on weather conditions and sea conditions, the standard is approximately 2 to 2’5 hour of navigation including star observation.
Prior to departure we will send you a Voucher with all the details of your reservation: meeting point, what is included in your trip… and the telephone number of the skipper or instructor.
Depending on the geographical area you are in, it is likely that on trips away from the coast you may lose mobile coverage.
