Your possible stops during this cruise

Here's your program for your Sailing Cruise in the Azores - Faial, Pico, São Jorge, Terceira & Graciosa
This program is a sample itinerary and is subject to weather conditions.

Discover the Azores by sailboat, and be enchanted by the striking diversity of the archipelago's emblematic islands: Faial, Pico, São Jorge, Graciosa and Terceira.

- Start your journey at the port of Horta on Faial, a legendary place for sailors. in Horta, its capital, the marina is one of the most famous on the Atlantic. The quays are covered with frescoes painted by crews from all over the world, bearing witness to past maritime adventures. But Faial is also home to the Capelinhos volcano, a lunar landscape born of a recent eruption, and hiking trails between flower-filled moors and ocean cliffs.

- at Pico, nature is spectacular. Portugal's highest volcano dominates the island with an almost unreal presence. Here, the landscape is shaped by lava: UNESCO World Heritage vineyards, low walls of black basalt, wild paths...

- São Jorge, more discreet, a vertical and mysterious beauty. Its cliffs drop sheer into the Atlantic, and its famous fajãs, small coastal plains created by lava flows or landslides, are true hidden treasures. Some can be discovered on foot, at the end of a steep path, and offer bathing in natural pools, silence and total disconnection.

- Graciosa, the archipelago's most peaceful island, charms with its gentle pace, picturesque windmills, natural thermal baths and the spectacular Furna do Enxofre, an underground volcanic cave worthy of an adventure novel.

- in Terceira, the atmosphere is livelier: between the rich architecture of Angra do Heroísmo, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the green landscapes dotted with craters and lookouts, the island offers a perfect balance of culture, nature and island conviviality.
