Sailing around Faial and the Azores
Sailing in the Azores is a true adventure!
Faial located at a couple of hours sailing distance from Sao Jorge and Pico, is a good
startpoint for discoveries.
The summer winds are stable and the sea friendly with its dolphins, whales and turtles
just a few miles off shore.
Stopping at anchorages near the coastline, at natural pools to swim or sun bathe increase
the pleasure.
For sail fanatics we offer different options according as the customers' wishes.
Daytrips: (10 a.m.- 5 p.m.) including lunch and drinks is only 65 Euros per person.
A minimum of 2 persons is required.

Tradition has that sailors crossing the Atlantic should draw a painting on the harbour wall at
Horta to bring them luck with their crossing. Here is a small selection but the harbour is filled with paintings
and one of the sights not to be missed on Faiail. |
