Doesn't that spring breeze make you long to go sailing in the sun? Even if you don't have any sailing experience whatsoever, you can treat yourself to a splendid day on board a catamaran near the Canary Islands. Lanzarote, also known as The Island of Eternal Spring, is famous for its mild climate and the clear blue sea is home to huge shoals of bright fish. Honestly, can you imagine a better place to go sailing?

If you go to Puerto Calera, a resort about 13 km west of Lanzarote Airport, the professional crew of Catlanza will do all the work. Their catamarans sail from the marina along the coast to Playa Blanca and take a break at Papagayo beach. Bar service, lunch, snorkelling equipment and a jet-ski ride are all included in the trip.

Puerto Calera is one of Europe's most prestigious yacht marinas, clinging to the rocky coast south of Puerto del Carmen, one of the greatest resorts on the island. This marina is exactly the reason why Lanzarote is known as a luxurious location and appeals to a chic crowd. The harbour has over 400 floating wharves and is capable of berthing boats of from 8 to 75 m in length.

But you don't have to be a keen yachtsman in order to enjoy Puerto Calero. In fact, you don't even have to step on board a boat at all! You can have a great day arriving by road, strollling along the quayside, having a lazy lunch on a terrace and visit the museum and the local art gallery. Flythomascook provides cheap flights to Lanzarote from London, Manchester, Belfast, Cardiff, Bristol, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham and East Midlands. So go on and spoil yourself with a luxurious sailing experience in Lanzarote.
