W08 Passage sailing: Madeira – Portugal  (650M)

The first two days we will probably sail along the coast, so that everyone can get used to the ship and the ocean swell. Via Las Nieves on Gran Canaria, a beautiful anchorage, to Santa Cruz on Tenerife. A large port where we can prepare for the crossing to Madeira. Two full days of sailing at the Atlantic ocean with 270 miles to go.

A nice ocean passage in a ‘watch system’ with lots of time for sailing, steering and with beautiful sun and moon rises/ sets. With a bit of luck we can enjoy beautiful starry skies and / or a luminous sea and dolphins. This sailing voyage is a nice combination of making miles, sailing through the night, but also with a bit of time ashore to enjoy and to recover (according to plan).

If the weather cooperates we have one day left in Cascais to relax a bit and enjoy the local atmosphere. We will end in the capital Lisbon. In the evening we go out for dinner in what must be one of the best restaurants in the world and then we walk back through the bustling city to the boat.

The daily sailing distances are between 42 and 650 miles. The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide.

Sailing holiday Prices 

The ‘board price’ of the voyage is the rent for ship and crew, which must be paid up front.

The ‘board cash’ is the amount per person for the food and drink on board (including crew), as well as fuel, water, shore, port fees and taxes, but excluding trips, food and drinks ashore. This amount must be paid upon embarkation in cash to the skipper (in the appropriate currency). What remains after the sailing holiday, will be refunded.

With less than 3 participants, the ‘board cash’ is usually not sufficient. In that case, there will be a surcharge of up to € 50 per person.
