Z14: Sailing holidays in authentic & Portugal

From Porto we set sail up the Atlantic ocean to Aveiro, where we will spend a day exploring the town. Aveiro is also called the “Venice of Portugal” because of its charming town with canals and even Gondolas.

We continue our way along authentic Portuguese ports such as Figueira da Foz, Peniche, Nazaré and then Cascais. The latter is the seaside resort of Lisbon. With a beautiful beach and in the evening you can make a sunset walk to a stunning cliff formation near the harbor and enjoy a drink.

The next day will be a short sail to the center of Lisbon, a great experience, as we sail past some of Lisbon’s highlights such as the famous “Torre de Belem”. An iconic 16th century fortress that marks the entrance to the river Tagus. In the afternoon or morning (depending on the tide) there is also the possibility to visit Sintra.

Sintra is close to Lisbon in the wooded hills of the Serra Mountains, with a fairy tale landscape of ornate palaces, castle ruins and exotic gardens.
In the evening we go out to dinner in a great restaurant and then we walk back through the bustling city of Lisbon back to the boat.

The west coast of Portugal generally has a constant wind direction, the Nortada, or “Portuguese North”. That means plenty of wind. This wind starts around noon and increases considerably during the day until sunset, thus, spectacular sailing downwind and great speed.
The daily sailing distances are between 14 and 44 miles. The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide.
