Tips:
Set Ship and Ferry Traffic to 10% or more for the best results.

Each has its own airport so are great for island hopping low level flights.
This pack introduces over 500 moving leisure and commercial vessels near and around the islands together with moving, landable cruise ships and thousands of static vessels filling the many ports and marinas. You will also find local ferry services here operating their usual routes. The scenery further includes watermasks in the main areas as well as fixes to vegetation and water/terrain elevation.

Vessels: The Canary Islands

They consist of the main islands of Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, La Palma and Tenerife but also include the less visited destinations of La Graciosa, La Gomera and El Hierro.

The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago nestled just 67 miles off the Northwest coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. They consist of the main islands of Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, La Palma and Tenerife but also include the less visited destinations of La Graciosa, La Gomera and El Hierro. There is rich nautical history here too. The port of San Sebastian la Gomera was the last stopping place of Christopher Columbus on his first transatlantic voyage in 1492. Today it is a port of call for the Fred Olsen Benchi Express, a small catamaran ferry that serves the various destinations on the island. El Hierro, also known as Ferro once served as the prime meridian, as it was the most westerly place known to ancient geographers.
Today the Islas Canarias (as they are known in Spain) are a bustling tourist destination with Tenerife and Gran Canaria being busy maritime hubs for cargo and cruise shipping as well as offshore oil drilling operations. You will find all of that represented in this scenery with the ports of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria being especially alive with nautical traffic.
The scenery includes many ferries from the various operators in this area with all but one (the little Benchi Express) having helidecks that you can land on as they move from port to port. We have also included landable, moving supply ships, cruise ships, drilling ships and a semi-submersible oil platform (that is being towed) to maximise your helicopter fun (see map below for starting locations of these).
Note: The free Vessels Core library is required. The Contrail App will install this automatically for you.
Tips:
Set ground wind to 3m/s (7 knots) or above for the more realistic waves and wakes.
Adjusting the time slightly can reload the boat traffic fully if it seems too low on first starting a flight (known MSFS bug).

PBR models

You might also be lucky enough to spot one of the few nuclear-powered submarines that are on exercise near to the islands too. . .
Of particular note is Pearl Harbor, with its historical significance, wide array of US Navy warships and of course the USS Missouri aka 'Mighty Mo'. The US fleet is very active around the these islands.
