Azores Sailing - Faial, São Jorge, Terceira & Pico | June 26 - July 3, 2027
About this sailing adventure
Eight days in the middle of the Atlantic, four volcanic islands and a sea where whales and dolphins are part of the scenery. The Azores are where life on a yacht meets volcanic land, and this route combines both, with island days by car between the passages. We meet in the legendary marina of Horta on Faial, where ocean crews paint their boats' names on the harbour walls before crossing the Atlantic. From there we sail to São Jorge with its cliffs and fajãs, then to Terceira for a full day ashore by car with the green fields of Serra do Cume, the natural lava pools of Biscoitos and, if it is open, the Algar do Carvão volcanic cave. Next comes Pico, with vineyards on black lava listed by UNESCO, the whaling museum in Lajes do Pico and the 2351 m volcano above it all. The final passage back to Horta crosses the channel between Pico and Faial, one of the best places in the Atlantic to see whales and dolphins, although a sighting is never guaranteed. The trip suits travellers who are happy with sea passages and a flexible route. A professional skipper sets the order of the islands by the ocean conditions. We leave the yacht at 09:00 on 3 July. Included is a place in a double cabin on the yacht with a professional skipper. Flights and the boat kitty for food, fuel and moorings (about 250-300 EUR per person) are extra. ⛵️ Sailing trip with Katran Yachting School 📍 Marina da Horta, Faial, Azores, Portugal 📅 26 June - 3 July 2027 4 places are available right now.
