Canárias

Canárias is a small isolated village located on the Ilha das Canárias, in the heart of the Parnaíba delta, at the border between Piauí and Maranhão. This exceptional spot offers a preserved natural setting: dunes, mangroves, channels, and lagoons stretch as far as the eye can see. It is a perfect place for freeride, foil, and downwinds through the delta. The wind blows strong, the water is warm, and the scenery is absolutely magnificent. Canárias is a unique sailing experience — wild, tranquil, and unforgettable.

Location

Detailed information

The wind from east to northeast blows side-onshore between 18 and 25 knots. At low tide, the delta reveals perfect flat areas for freestyle and foil. At high tide, the channels fill up and become choppy to wavy, perfect for freeride and downwinds. The bottom is sandy and safe. You can sail in the inner lagoons, on the channels, or even out to the open sea. It is an adventurous, versatile, and magnificent spot.
