Join Cherokee for an Atlantic Crossing from Madeira to the Canary Islands.

Join modern yacht Cherokee for a sailing holiday from Madeira to Tenerife. The voyage is the perfect sailing adventure for those who want to experience a longer passage at sea and build up some sea miles.

Life at Sea

As with all of our sailing holidays, exactly where you stop and explore will be entirely dependant on the weather and tides. As you board Cherokee, owner and Skipper Jouke, will have a better idea of a route and what to expect from the week.

No experience is needed to climb aboard but a list for adventure is a must as there will be some longer passages on the water with a need for “all hands on deck”. Get involved with hoisting the sails, taking the helm, some basic navigation and night passages along the way.

Island Sailing

Sail from the Portuguese island of Madeira to Canary Islands. With volcanic landscapes, green rugged cliffs and pebbly beaches, Madeira is the perfect backdrop to join Cherokee. Known as the land of eternal Spring, Madeira is well worth arriving early to for some pre-sailing exploration.

Once on board spend your first evening in port before setting the sails to explore the coast of Madeira and get used to the boat. Day two sees you set off across the open water for the Canary Islands, about 265 miles. The wind direction will determine which island Cherokee makes landfall.

If the weather cooperates you have time left to visit some other islands before making our final destination of Tenerife.

Cherokee

Guest berths: 8 Rig: Cutter

In 2008, Jouke Lemmer purchased Cherokee after spending years sailing with his father’s ship amongst others. Cherokee was built in 2000 by award-winning boat builders J & J Design and a year after buying her, Jouke refitted Cherokee radically, transforming her into a truly comfortable charter vessel, giving her a cutter rig and space for a generator so as to offer his passengers power and hot showers!

She is a fast, 16m vessel with a stunning teak deck and spacious cockpit, and she operates with two crew members (her skipper and the bosun/chef). Cherokee is exceptionally good at what she was built to do – pure sailing. Read more about what to expect with life onboard here.

Jouke sails his ship all over the northern hemisphere, leaving Cherokee’s home port of Rotterdam in May and sailing anywhere from the Hebrides and the Channel Islands, the Faroe Islands and Ireland or even down to the North coast of Spain before making the journey back to Holland in October. Join him and his wonderful ship for the adventure of a lifetime – think exhilarating sailing, bucket list destinations and top-notch hospitality.
