Description

In Horta on the island of Faial is one of the world's most famous sailors' cafés: Peter Café Sport. Many well-known offshore sailors have visited it and left mementos. Just a few steps away the vessel lies at anchor. The crew welcomes you on board.

We begin our exploration of the Azores. After departing Horta we sail to Pico, which is dominated by its impressive volcano, and later visit Terceira. These first days offer a pleasant mix of sailing and time ashore. Green hills, steep cliffs and small harbours create a relaxed atmosphere.

After leaving the Azores we set course for the northeast. Life on board finds its rhythm: helping with the sailing, taking the helm and keeping watch. The nights at sea reveal a vast, star-filled sky – this is real offshore sailing.

After about a week we reach the Bay of Biscay, known for its unpredictable weather. Conditions vary greatly, but by now we are well accustomed to the dynamics of the sea. Teamwork and attention are crucial on deck.

Finally the towers of La Rochelle appear, having welcomed vessels for centuries. Bienvenue en France!

The itinerary serves as a guide. The captain may at any time decide to take a different route or call at an alternative port if conditions require it. At a number of places we will try to organise enjoyable excursions for everyone on board. Participation in these excursions is entirely voluntary, and you are free at any time to explore the destination on your own. The captain will ask in advance who wishes to take part. The cost of such excursions is not included in the trip price and will be shared among the participants.

We want this voyage to be accessible to all, yet a sea voyage aboard a sailing ship can be challenging, and you must be sufficiently fit and healthy for it. We divide all voyages into three difficulty levels, marked with a symbol showing one, two or three waves. Not every difficulty level suits everyone. The shipping company may contact you to discuss your participation. In extreme cases, the shipping company may advise against participation in a particular voyage. Are you unsure whether a particular voyage is suitable for you? Then please contact our travel agency to discuss this.
