  • Plan
    Day 1: Meeting in Ponta Delgada, briefing then sailing
    We will meet at 11:00am at a bar called Baia dos Anjos and we will have a first meeting, briefing about life aboard and safety briefing. In the afternoon we will sail to Vila Franca do Campo 11 NM along the coast of São Miguel.

    Day 2: Explore Ilhéu de Vila Franca do Campo and Furnas valley
    We will go for a swim, ride the SUP or a snorkel around and explore the inside of a natural and perfectly circular volcanic crater in front of Vila Franca do Campo. Later in the day, we will enjoy the moment of relaxation in a hot water natural spring in Furnas valley. Spend the night at Vila Franca do Campo.

    Day 3: Sailing 50 NM to Vila do Porto, Santa Maria Island
    Departure in the morning after breakfast and keep an eye out for wildlife. Whales and dolphins might be spotted on the way. Enjoy the ride!

    Day 4: Explore the Island of Santa Maria
    Either by land or by the sea, your crew will recommend what to do in this Island! Good surprises await you here.

    Day 5: Sail back to São Miguel via Formigas
    On our way back, it is a great stop to meet Formigas. A few rocks rising from the middle of the Atlantic full of untouched fauna and flora and great for a quick snorkel before heading to São Miguel

    Day 6: Hugs and kisses
    Breakfast aboard followed by disembarkation in Ponta Delgada at 10:00am

    Sailing with André&Rita in the Azores was one of my best holidays ever! I've already been on a sailingtrip with André in the Cyclades, so i knew going on another sailingtrip with André will be fun, chilling on the deck, intense, jumping in the sea on amazing spots, expect the unexpected and safe, André takes really good care of you, thanks André!
    <br>That combined with the great cook and sweet person sailor Rita is, just perfect! Thanks Rita! 5 star meals aboard, local fresh food from the Azores, jummie, fresh fish from the Ocean catched and prepared by André&amp;Rita.
    <br>Sailing around these beautifuls islands, stunning landscapes, sailing between 200 dolphins, jumping in and snorkeling between dolphins, hearing there noises,.... I was really astonished by all the 6 islands we went too. There are all so different. Azores are a hidden secret, paradise! And how can you discover them better then going on a sailing trip with a local :-) Thanks a lot André&amp;Rita for this dreamvacation! Els xxx

    Thank you so much to Andre and Rita for the amazing trip around the Azores. My family and I had the time of our lives with the beautiful sights of the Atlantic Ocean as well as indulging in the culture of Portugal on land. The trip would not have been the same without them and the hospitaly they gave to us. If you are looking for a trip that will change your life this is it.

    One of the funnest and most unique trips I've ever been on! Andrés and Rita are amazing and gave me and my group so many cool experiences that I'll never forget - seeing dolphins, beautiful hiking and trying amazing new food being just a few of them. The spontaneous way the trip is run was really relaxing and made everything a fun surprise! Loved every minute of it and already dying to go back next year :)
