Sailing in Lanzarote all year round: climate, winds and ideal season to enjoy the sea.
If there is a place in Europe where the sea never rests, that is Lanzarote. Thanks to its stable climate, its constant winds and its seafaring spirit, the island allows you to enjoy sailing all twelve months of the year.
Whether aboard a private charter from Playa Blanca, participating in a classic sailboat cruise or exploring the south coast under sail, Lanzarote is a paradise for lovers of the sea.
The perfect weather for sailing
Unlike other destinations where the nautical season depends on the summer, in Lanzarote sailing is possible all year round. Temperatures range between 20 °C and 28 °C even in winter, and the sea water rarely drops below 18 °C.
This makes the island one of the most stable destinations in the Atlantic for sailing experiences.
The trade winds, those gentle and constant winds that blow from the northeast, are the great allies of those who love sailing. Thanks to them, each crossing offers the sensation of freedom that can only be experienced when the wind drives the boat and the sound of the engine dies down.
Winds and ideal conditions depending on the time of the year
Spring and summer (April-September)
During these months, the trade winds blow more strongly, which offers vibrant and energetic sailing days. It is the best time for those looking for more active sailing, feel the power of the sails and enjoy the coast of Playa Blanca, Papagayo and the Ajaches.
The evenings are perfect for sunset charters, with a constant breeze and the sun falling over the Atlantic horizon.
Autumn and winter (October-March)
The sea calms down and conditions become milder. The winds are more moderate, the atmosphere calmer and the temperature remains mild. It is the ideal time for relaxed sailing, family excursions or romantic getaways from Marina Rubicon.
Many visitors choose this time precisely to escape the European cold and experience the sea of Lanzarote in its most serene version.
Charter in Playa Blanca: starting point to paradise
Playa Blanca has established itself as the main departure point for charters and nautical experiences in Lanzarote. Its location in the south of the island, protected by the Ajaches and close to Fuerteventura and Isla de Lobos, makes it an ideal natural harbor for coastal navigation.
From here depart private charters, excursions and sailing experiences that allow you to discover hidden coves, anchor in turquoise waters and enjoy lunch on board with local products.
Traditional navigation and sustainability
Beyond the pleasure of sailing, Lanzarote is recovering its most authentic maritime tradition. The revival of classic boats, such as the Ora et Labora, represents a commitment to history and to a more sustainable way of enjoying the sea.
These projects recover riverside carpentry, the use of natural materials and sailing as a means of respecting the environment, offering unique experiences where every detail has soul and meaning.
Lanzarote has no low season for the sea.
Its climate, winds and natural beauty make it the perfect destination for sailing at any time of the year.
