My third time taking this trip, each time I go to Canary Islands I will be doing it, a great couple, sailing along the coast etc. Clean, safe, and a load of fun. The couple whose boat it is are friendly, knowledagble etc. I highly recommend it!! You stop halfway and if you want go swimming in the ocean.”
