You won't need a special licence to go sailing, but the club or school you go to will need to have valid permits and insurance. If you are taking part in competitions with a club, the club will have to be signed up with the Canary Islands' Sailing Federation and the Registry of Sports Entities.

You can ask a booking agency to provide you with the type of boat you need.
