Overview
If you are looking for a different way to explore the islands, then a sailing holiday is just what you need.
During your Sailing week from Faial you’ll find the three islands of Faial, Pico and São Jorge were made for sailing. Each is a day’s sail apart but every day will be full of adventure and great sailing opportunities! Sailing in a skippered Dufour Grand’ Large 375 you leave the colourful yacht marina of Horta and sail to São Jorge.
Depending on the weather you may sail around Faial or take a shorter route through the channel between Faial and Pico. São Jorge is a delightful island and for those wanting to stretch their sea legs, there are some good walks. Pico lies before you and there are several small marinas to choose from and depending on conditions you may use a couple of them during your time there. Your sailing holiday from Faial finishes back on Faial where you can sit in Peter’s Café with other hardy sailors and tell tales of your Atlantic adventures!
Please note that the itinerary may well vary due to weather conditions.
