Azores Archipelago - from Horta to Ponta Delgada including the island of Santa Maria. Coastal sailing / offshore voyage approx. 300 nautical miles

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.

Favored by the Gulf Stream's climate, plants from all climate zones find ideal conditions, 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.

Daily sailing distances are usually between 40 and 60 miles. Depending on wind and weather, we will sail for approximately 5 to 12 hours each day. At the end of a sailing day, we will anchor in bays or harbors, and sometimes sail further to experience the sea under the influence of the night with attentive seamanship. There will also be plenty of time to relax, explore, and enjoy the surroundings.

Participants with and without sailing experience are very welcome on board.

The prerequisite is the willingness to engage with nature, the sea and the peculiarities of sailing with respect and joy, team spirit and tolerance.

    Horta - Ponta Delgada / Azores
    August 16, 2026, 5:00 PM - August 29, 2026, 10:00 AM

    Our journey begins in the port of Horta on the island of Faial. We will sail from island to island, taking advantage of the prevailing winds to traverse the archipelago from west to east.

    In the evenings we moor in picturesque harbors or anchor in dreamy bays.

    With a bit of luck, whales and dolphins will accompany us on our journey between the islands of São Miguel, Terceira, Graciosa, São Jorge, Pico, Faial, and Santa Maria. Each of these Azorean islands is unique, with its own distinctive topography and unique flora and fauna. It's impossible to resist the allure of this Robinson Crusoe-like adventure.

    The western island of Santa Maria is very rarely visited and represents a highlight of this sailing trip.

    In the beautiful port of Ponta Delgada, on the island of Sao Miquel, we will bring our voyage to a close after 14 eventful days.

    We are sailing on the Lotte, a Bavaria C51 from 2017. The Lotte is a special ship and is designed without restrictions for offshore use and has been approved by the employers' liability insurance association.
    She handles even high waves with ease and impresses with her excellent seakeeping. Comfort and dynamism have been combined without compromise, so that a pleasant atmosphere on board and an intense sailing experience await us.

    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:

Typically, the final cleaning of the yacht is carried out by the crew at the end of the cruise. So that you can 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 cruises in the Azores).

For you, this means a relaxed arrival and a pleasant farewell.

One yacht, one skipper:
I'm your skipper! You can contact me as you prepare for your trip and get to know me. If you're unsure or have any questions, please call me. I'll be happy to assist you and answer your questions. I know the yacht inside and out and offer professional and safe sailing tailored to your individual needs.

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

Background/additional information:
If you'd like to take a shore excursion or haven't had time to find out what to expect at our destination port, you'll receive this information on board, and if you have any unanswered questions, I'll be happy to help you research them.

Onboard cash register:
At the start of the trip, each participant pays approximately €100 into the onboard fund. This is used to cover meals, including drinks, fuel, marina fees, gas, and diesel fuel used. (The skipper is exempt from this fee.)

When the deposited money runs low, the crew will top up the money in equal shares. At the end of the trip, the surplus in the onboard cash box is distributed among the participants.

The required amount varies depending on the cost of food in the region visited and your dining needs. Typically, the cost of the onboard cash box is between €80 and €150 per person per week.
