Voyage description

This voyage takes us from the bustling and rugged island of Tenerife, to lush La Gomera and on to La Palma known as “La Isla Bonita", before we return to Tenerife.

Join us on this sailing voyage from the vibrant island of Tenerife to the lush landscapes of La Gomera, and onward to the enchanting La Palma, famously known as "La Isla Bonita", before returning to Tenerife.

Our initial days will be spent at sea, learning the ropes of the Santa Maria Manuela, and embracing the rhythm of the ocean. Dive into the sailing experience, from helming to trimming sails, navigating and exploring aloft. And when you are not absorbed in sailing, indulge in reading, board games or sharing sailing stories over drinks at the bar. We anchor off the picturesque shores of La Gomera and venture into its palm-filled valleys, deep ravines, black sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and magical forests, earning its reputation as Canary Island’s hidden gem.

Prepare for magic as we set course for the captivating World Biosphere Reserve and Starlight Reserve of La Palma, just a brief journey from the northernmost Island. La Palma beckons with its vast scenic vistas. Aptly named "La Isla Bonita" (the Pretty Island), its rugged, breathtaking, and awe-inspiring landscapes never fail to astound. Legend has it that this island has a unique ability to rejuvenate and invigorate.

La Palma stands as one of Europe’s renowned 'Dark Sky' reserves, offering us a unique chance to explore the observatory and learn about the project's significance from resident astrophysicists.

As our journey nears its end, we chart our course back to Santa Cruz, Tenerife, where a celebratory deck BBQ awaits on our penultimate day, marking a fitting end before disembarking the following morning.

The trip between Lisbon and Funchal was really exceptional thanks to the kindness and professionalism of the crew that was always available to answer all our requests. A trip far too short.
It was my first cruise aboard Santa Maria Manuela but it will certainly not be the last.

Catherine - France

It was a wonderful journey. The ship is beautiful and in a perfect condition, we felt
comfortable at any time, thanks to the gentle team. The meals were very tasteful (thanks to
the cook!).

Katrin - Holland

We want to say THANK YOU to all the crew they all were so helpful. Nothing was too much
trouble. If the world would follow Santa Maria Manuela’s example, we would all live in a
better place.

Peter & Ron, UK

It was obvious that the crew was very capable of doing everything without the help of the passengers, but I loved that they wanted us to be involved and gave us tasks that we could do. It is also evident how important safety on board is and I was impressed to see all of the crew members in harnesses and helmets whenever they were in slightly precarious positions preparing a sail to be raised or fixing something.

Sailwiz – Spain

The trip was absolutely incredible. I am extremely impressed with the ship and the crew. I felt very at home on board and the crew was so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. I feel like I learned so much about the ship and navigation and I know many of the other passengers feel the same. I truly enjoyed the trip and hope that I will go aboard again.

Julia – USA

My friends and familly are all '50 shades of green' with envy. Thankyou from Andrew and me to you and the crew for an experience of a lifetime.

I can't imagine the Santa Maria Manuela having a bigger fan than me. It was a remarkable experience and I really enjoyed getting to know the crew as well as all of the passengers. It was a great group of people to spend 6 days with.
