Description

Mindelo – Palmeira

The starting point of our exciting voyage through the tropical island world of Cape Verde is the pretty marina in the heart of Mindelo.
Mindelo is Cape Verde's capital of music, culture and art. The markets are loud and wonderfully authentic, whilst the old town bustles with life.

Our first leg through the "Ilhas de Barlavento" takes us across the turquoise Atlantic Ocean past Santa Lucia to Tarrafal on São Nicolau.

The continuously blowing north-east trade wind varies in its prevailing direction between 350° and 100°, so on our eastward course we can enjoy tropical blue-water sailing to the full.
São Nicolau is small yet wonderfully diverse. The coastal formations are among the seven wonders of Cape Verde and in the small villages time appears to have stood still.

The island of Boavista is without doubt worth the journey for its dune beaches alone. Average daytime temperatures of 25 degrees combined with 23-degree sea water make us quickly forget winter in Europe.

Our final destination is Palmeira on the holiday island of Sal. The little town of Santa Maria beckons with wide beaches and an African atmosphere.

With a bit of luck we can watch whales, sea turtles or the exuberant play of dolphins.
In Cape Verde there is only one marina for sports boats in Mindelo; on the other islands we will mainly lie at anchor in sheltered bays or harbour facilities.

The steady north-east trade wind provides optimal sailing conditions with wind speeds between 15 and 25 knots.

The Cape Verde Islands are of volcanic origin with volcanic peaks of up to 2,829 metres.
The climate is balanced all year round and it never gets excessively hot. Rain hardly ever falls in Cape Verde, at most once as drizzling trade wind fog in the middle elevations of the mountainous islands.

Cape Verde is a safe and democratic travel destination.

The willingness to engage with nature, the sea and the characteristics of sailing with respect and enjoyment should be present. Daily destinations are discussed and selected with the crew and then realised together as a team.

We sail with Lotte, a new Bavaria C51 from 2017. Lotte is a special vessel, designed without restriction for offshore use and certified by the Berufsgenossenschaft. She takes even high waves confidently and impresses with excellent sea-keeping. Comfort and performance have been combined uncompromisingly, so that a convivial atmosphere on board and an intense sailing experience await us.
