Strategic seasonal windows, trade wind analysis, sea distances, and live marine weather for megayachts and sailing fleets in the Canary Islands.
Due to high demand for duty-free fuel bunkering and prime megayacht berths during the transatlantic crossing window (October–December), we strongly recommend submitting berth and provisioning requests at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance.
Plan your technical stopovers, refit periods, and Atlantic crossings efficiently.
The prime departure window for Caribbean crossings following established Trade Winds (Alisios). Major fuel bunkering, provisioning hub, and regatta departures (ARC).
Ideal wintering climate (19-22°C) with low humidity. Perfect window for shipyard refits, haul-out maintenance (300T-1000T+), underwater works, and cruising between islands.
Reception of yachts returning from the Caribbean and Americas bound for the Mediterranean. Technical stopovers for crew rotation, fuel top-up, and customs clearance.
Key sea distances from Canary hubs to major Atlantic destinations and inter-island routes.
