Last Chance Canary Islands and Azores

Bessie Ellen has some places left on her last voyage in the Canary Islands. Here are some the comments we have had this winter.

Excitement and participation without responsibility; aBowline training on Bessie Ellen in the Canary Islands Jan 2011 Photo Courtesy Philip Markss far away from it all as you can ever get. Relaxing and sociable. Jane J

Exceeded Expectations, Roger M and Peter W

Seeing whales for the first time. The sailing. The scenery, especially exploring La Gomera. Meeting new people. The food was amazing. Penny A

Nikki runs her ship with the safety and needs of the guests as of paramount importance. She and her crew are highly professional. Phil Cogdell, Skipper Annabel J

Most memorable for being amongst sperm whales for the first time despite having been at sea many time before. Peter S

Bessie Ellen was brilliant. Small enough to feel the spray, big enough not to bang my head! Neil G (Neil is well over 6ft tall and has sailed on Eve of St Mawes that has a couple of head problems for Neil.)

Excellent, enjoyable, fun excellent. Dan RDolphins in the Canary Islands - Photo Courtesy Philip Marks
Relaxing and absolute freedom. Michele B

BE108 Monday 7th to Monday Tenerife via La Gomera and Las Palma back to Tenerife. 7 days for only £399

 


Island Hopping in the Azores


Nine lush emerald islands, ranging from the smallest- Corvo with 300 inhabitants to San Miguel with 150.000 inhabitants, warmed by the Gulf Stream and surrounded by an ocean teeming with life.

If this island group was nearer mainland Europe it would be a very popular sailing ground, but the remoteness of this archipelago just East of the Mid Atlantic ridge means you have anchorages and the smaller ports virtually to yourselves and the local fishing boats.

Most  islands are within easy reach from each other in a day’s sailing.

 


Easter and Springtime Voyages

Look forward to getting some fresh air the March and April. There are some excellent short breaks in March on Annabel J in the Solent, handy for those living in the South East. Easter and April on Eve of St Mawes and Annable J have some vacancies left but the RYA Courses are full.

Spring short Breaks

Scotland

Lizzie May's voyages in Scotland are nearly all full and Bessie Ellen is filling up fast. There is no better way to see the Western Isles of Scotland than from a traditional pilot cutter or tall ship. Its the combination of beautiful boats in stunning scenery.
