The headline makes it sound like a tourist got bitten while vacationing on the island(s). It was a sailor, 500km away from the islands, so basically the open ocean.

Yes, to quote the article so you don’t have to read it:

The woman was sailing in a catamaran some 278 nautical miles (more than 500 kilometers) southwest of the island of Gran Canaria when the shark struck.
