The gangway thunks, the harbor chatter thins and the Atlantic takes over—cool wind filling canvas, the boat tilting like a living thing that wants to show you something. On a four‑hour private sail from Corralejo, Captain Julian trims the sheets and the coastline slips away: first the white ribbon of the Corralejo dunes, then the low volcanic spine of Fuerteventura, and finally the squat silhouette of Lobos Island rising from the channel.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The boat provides shade but UV is strong; use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect marine life and your skin.
Prepare for motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication an hour before departure—conditions can be bumpy in the channel.
Wear water shoes
Shore entries at the anchorage can be rocky—reef or water shoes make getting in and out easier.
Book morning slots for calm seas
Mornings typically have gentler swell and clearer underwater visibility for snorkeling and photography.
