Embark on a five-day Azorean trip aboard this tall ship, setting sail from São Miguel to Horta before making final landfall in Angra do Heroísmo on Terceira. This trip blends open-ocean sailing with land excursions and a great community atmosphere on board.
The adventure starts in São Miguel, the biggest island of the archipelago. Spending a few extra days beforehand allows time to visit the volcanic lakes of Sete Cidades, experience Furnas, or taste traditional regional cuisine.
Departing São Miguel, the ship steers toward Horta on the longest leg of the journey, offering plenty of time to get into the groove of life at sea. Join the crew with line handling, practice ropework, or relax on deck watching the horizon for marine life like dolphins and whales.
Our stop in Horta on Faial Island provides a glimpse into a port famous among Atlantic navigators. Stroll the marina walls decorated with artwork from past sailors, and grab a drink at the legendary Peter Café Sport. If time permits, venture further into Faial’s volcanic interior.
The final sailing passage brings us to Terceira and into the historic port of Angra do Heroísmo. The voyage wraps up in this UNESCO World Heritage city, where bright architecture and waterfront plazas welcome you ashore. Consider extending your stay to explore the island’s rural landscapes or cool off in the natural ocean pools of Biscoitos.
As with any traditional sailing expedition, exact timing and port stops will naturally adapt to local sea and weather conditions.
