Azores and Madeira archipelago - from Ponta Delgada to Funchal

Category:
coastal sailing / offshore voyage approx. 700 nm

The island of Madeira is a jewel in the North Atlantic, captivating visitors not only with its mild and pleasant temperatures. Impressive and fascinating natural scenery makes a sailing trip along the coastline of Madeira and Porto Santo entertaining and exciting.

The indescribable diversity and beauty of the nine islands in the Azores archipelago, combined with mild temperatures and an excellently equipped yacht, promise us a sailing highlight in a paradisiacal setting. We will sail from island to island, taking advantage of the prevailing winds to traverse the archipelago from east to west. In the evenings, we will moor in picturesque harbors or anchor in idyllic bays. With a bit of luck, whales and dolphins will accompany us on our journey between the islands of São Miguel, Santa Maria, Terceira, Graciosa, São Jorge, Pico, and Faial. Each of these Azorean islands is unique, with its distinctive topography and unique flora and fauna. It is impossible to resist the allure of this Robinson Crusoe-like adventure.

Favored by the Gulf Stream, plants from all climate zones find ideal conditions here, bringing us closer to the idea of a "Garden of Eden." The harmonious combination of vibrant nature and magnificent volcanic landscape makes this sailing trip a truly special experience.

    Ponta Delgada - Funchal / Azores - Madeira
    September 13, 2026, 5:00 PM - September 26, 2026, 10:00 AM

    Our journey starts in the city port of Ponta Delgada.

    The crossing of the North Atlantic Ocean to Madeira will require at least three overnight passages. With good seamanship and the proven watch system, we will enjoy the fascination of offshore sailing before reaching the coast of Porto Santo after approximately 500 nautical miles.

    Being out on the deep blue Atlantic, watching the sun's rays break in the water and the waves foam by, watching the sun rise and set and admiring a starry sky that sparkles so much more intensely than on land, all this makes the heart beat faster and the soul gather impressions that will not fade so quickly.

    Bluewater sailing at its finest. We will see the wind and waves vary in direction and strength, and will act and react accordingly with the best seamanship.

    We will experience the blissful feeling of having made it when we bring our eventful 14-day voyage to a close in the port of Funchal.

    We're sailing a 2017 Bavaria C51. It's a special boat, designed and certified for offshore sailing. It handles even high waves with ease and boasts excellent seakeeping. Comfort and performance have been seamlessly combined, promising a pleasant time together on board and an exhilarating sailing experience.

    Welcome on board!

Other information
The skipper for this activity speaks german. To participate you must speak one of the languages spoken on board.

Final cleaning:
The final cleaning of the yacht is usually carried out by the crew at the end of the trip. To allow you to pack in peace and leave the boat without the hassle of cleaning, I will take care of the final cleaning for you (not valid for trips in the Azores).
This means a relaxed arrival and a pleasant departure for you.

One yacht, one skipper:
I'm your skipper! You can contact me and get to know me during your trip preparations. If you're unsure about anything or have any questions, please give me a call. I'm happy to assist you and answer any questions you may have. I know the yacht inside and out and offer professional, safe, and personalized skippering tailored to your specific needs.

Shopping lists/recipes:
Upon request, I will compile recipes and a corresponding shopping list tailored to the number of participants and your culinary preferences. A holiday feeling from the very first minute.

Background/Additional Information:
You'd like to take a shore excursion, or perhaps you haven't yet had time to find out what awaits you at our destination port. You'll receive this information on board, and if any questions remain unanswered, I'm happy to assist with your research.

Onboard cash:
At the start of the trip, each participant contributes approximately €100 to the ship's kitty. This covers provisions including drinks, fuel, harbor fees, gas, and diesel fuel consumed. (The skipper is exempt.)

When the initial funds run low, the crew each contribute an equal amount. At the end of the trip, any remaining funds in the ship's kitty are divided among the participants.

The required amount varies depending on the cost of food in the region visited and the desired level of meals. Typically, the cost of the onboard kitty ranges from €80 to €150 per person per week.
