Day-by-day route

Day 1

Horta · Faial

Get to know Horta and the yacht. Stroll along the waterfront, stop at Peter’s Café Sport and climb Monte da Guia. If you wish, swim at Porto Pim beach

In the morning we sail to São Jorge. After mooring, we explore Velas, its natural stone arch and a viewpoint. Those who wish can visit one of the fajãs

Day 3

Angra · Terceira

After the crossing, we explore Angra’s historic centre, wander its narrow streets and climb Monte Brasil. We leave the evening for the waterfront

Day 4

Praia · Graciosa

A quiet island day: walks around Graciosa, the Caldeira da Graciosa volcanic crater and, if we have energy left, the Furna do Enxofre cave

Day 5

Lajes · Pico

We arrive on Pico: lava shores, whaling history, vineyards and views of the volcano. We stroll along the Lajes waterfront

Day 6

Pico

Explore the Criação Velha vineyards and local wines. Depending on the weather and your preferences, hike the volcano, go whale watching or swim in natural pools

Days 7–8

Horta · Faial

We return to Horta, leaving time for a stroll, the Caldeira do Faial crater and a painting on the marina wall. We end the journey with dinner together. We leave the yacht on the morning of 24 July. The route depends on the weather and ocean conditions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need sailing experience?+

No experience is required: a professional skipper handles the yacht, and you can help with mooring or sailing manoeuvres if you wish

Can I join alone or as a pair?+

Yes, you can book one place or join as a pair. Before departure, we will bring the crew together in a group chat so you can meet the other guests

What happens if the weather changes?+

We monitor the forecast along the route and adjust it if needed. Safe crossings take priority over a planned stop; if the route changes, we will still try to see as much of the planned itinerary as possible

Will I get seasick?+

We will explain how to prepare in advance. The Atlantic can be rough, so seasickness cannot be ruled out completely

Can we see whales from the yacht?+

Yes, we may encounter whales during a crossing. They are wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed

Which airport should I fly to?+

Fly to Horta Airport (HOR) on Faial. The trip starts and finishes at Horta Marina. We board on 17 July 2027 and finish on the morning of 24 July. We will send meeting details after booking

What should I bring?+

Before the trip, we will send a checklist covering clothing for ocean sailing and hiking, documents and personal items

How is accommodation arranged?+

There are 8 guest places with shared accommodation for two: in cabins with bunk beds or a double bed. Choose your accommodation when booking

Will there be a cook?+

We travel with a skipper and no separate cook. Groceries and shared food expenses are paid separately. We cook together on board and can visit restaurants ashore where available

How much does participation cost?+

A berth in a bunk-bed cabin costs €2,960; a berth in a double-bed cabin costs €3,320
