Set sail from Las Palmas with Flounder Sailing for an unforgettable yacht trip. Watch dolphins swim alongside, snorkel vibrant underwater spots, and relax on crystal-clear Atlantic waters.
Located off the northwest coast of Africa, Las Palmas in the Canary Islands offers a unique maritime gateway to the Atlantic’s subtropical charm. Flounder Sailing presents a distinctive way to experience this marine environment through their Yacht Sailing Excursion, designed for those seeking a blend of tranquil luxury and raw nature in equal measure. These trips depart from Las Palmas, where the mild climate and prevailing winds create ideal conditions for sailing year-round.
The yacht glides over the crystal-clear waters surrounding Fuerteventura, giving guests front-row seats to one of the Atlantic’s richer underwater ecosystems. Dolphins frequently accompany the vessel, weaving effortlessly through the waves, while careful eyes may spot other marine life like rays or sea turtles. Stops are planned in secluded snorkeling spots, where calm waters reveal vibrant schools of fish and striking underwater rock formations shaped by volcanic activity.
Flounder Sailing’s excursion stands apart because it goes beyond the typical boat tour by balancing moments of active engagement—snorkeling, spotting wildlife—with genuine relaxation onboard. Guests enjoy curated snacks and refreshing drinks on deck, soaking in panoramic views from the horizon where ocean meets sky. The experience showcases the Canary Islands’ maritime heritage and natural beauty without overloading the itinerary.
Las Palmas itself is a vibrant city that combines deep colonial history with a lively harbor culture, making it the perfect launch point. Flounder Sailing taps into this spirit, offering visitors a chance to unwind while taking in some of the archipelago’s best maritime landscapes. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or a first-time cruiser, this excursion invites you to disconnect, embrace the sea’s rhythms, and witness a part of Spain few get to see firsthand.
