Azores
Discover Azores
The Azores are a group of nine islands located in the North Atlantic Ocean, about 1,500 kilometers west of Portugal. As a Portuguese territory, these volcanic islands are known for their diverse landscapes, which include crater lakes, rugged coastlines, and geothermal springs. The Azores are a popular destination for nature lovers, offering opportunities for whale watching, hiking, and exploring unique volcanic formations.
São Miguel
São Miguel is known for its remarkable landscapes, including the twin lakes of Sete Cidades and the steaming fumaroles of Furnas.
Itinerary
Sailing around the remote islands of the Azores offers a mix of ocean sailing and peaceful island hopping, surrounded by lush green landscapes and volcanic history.
For a week-long sailing experience, we recommend starting in Faial, Terceira, or São Jorge, as these islands are close together, making it possible to create a complete itinerary.
As you navigate between Faial, Terceira, and São Jorge, you’ll experience the rhythm of the open Atlantic, with plenty of time to enjoy the tranquillity of being at sea. Anchoring near each island reveals a raw landscape shaped by ancient volcanic craters, where green slopes descend sharply to cliffs that plunge into the ocean.
