Three Reasons to Rent a Sailboat in Portugal

Make your way via sailboat charter to Portugal’s most southern region, the Algarve, to bask in its glorious climate and uncover hidden coves.

2.Home of Legendary Navigators

Portugal is home to some of the most world-renowned navigators who have shaped the sailing world and history. Sail your charter to Lisbon to explore the waters where Christopher Columbus was trained before discovering the Americas. Or Visit the tomb of Vasco da Gama, the Portuguese born explorer who was the first European to reach India by sea. This country’s history is packed full of voyagers whose journeys began from the ports your charter awaits. Become a part of history by renting a sailboat and discover the unknown!

3.Vibrant Landscapes

A sailboat charter is the perfect form of transportation to get from one city to the next. However, your Portuguese holiday does not only have to consist of afternoon naps on the beach and floating in the ocean. Portugal offers a rich and wide variety of landscape far beyond the base of your charter. As soon as your boat rental is docked, travel inland to discover the diverse countryside. Plan a navigation route to the northern end of the coastline to explore the mountainous region that forms a border with Spain or wander the rolling hills and plains in the south. Enjoy a long and scenic hike? Sail towards the Azores to trek through volcanic islands showcasing nature’s beauty and wonder.

Island Hop the Azores

Located 1,500km from mainland Portugal in the Atlantic, the Azores is a perfect destination for the more advanced sailors. This archipelago is composed of nine volcanic islands with dramatic landscapes and abundance of wildlife. A sailboat charter Portugal is the best way to get from one island to the next to explore the unique experience of each. Tip: don’t forget your camera, as it is common for whales and dolphins to swim alongside your boat rental to say hello!
Start your voyage in Sao Miguel, the largest island of the Azures, which is nicknamed “The Green Island.” From the moment you step off your charter you will immediately understand the reason for its name: green rolling hills that end at the mouth of clear blue waters. Possibilities on this Portuguese island are endless with activities for every level of adventurous sailor. Canoe on lakes located in the craters of volcanoes, hike trails that lead to breath taking waterfalls, or take a dip in the thermal water pools of the Parque Terra Nostra. For those who want to relax, spend the day on volcanic sand beaches before visiting Europe’s only tea plantations.
Next navigate your way to Santa Maria, an island that has more cows than people. Known as the warmest and driest of the nine islands, Santa Maria attracts sun-seeking travelers to its white sand beaches. Grab your scuba equipment from your sailboat to explore the plentiful marine life the Atlantic Ocean has to offer.
The best time to charter a sailboat to visit the Azores is usually recommended between the months of April and October. During this period the weather deems to be more consistent and vegetation is in full bloom. Whether you choose to spend your entire charter on one island or multiple, the Azores, Portugal is a fantastic destination to fulfill your charter holiday dreams!
