Sailing Portugal's Atlantic Coast
Portugal's maritime heritage spans over 500 years, from Henry the Navigator's explorations to Vasco da Gama's voyage to India. Today, this seafaring tradition translates into excellent marina infrastructure, a warm welcome for visiting sailors, and some of the Atlantic's most rewarding sailing grounds.
The Algarve
The Algarve coast offers sheltered sailing along stunning golden limestone cliffs. The famous Benagil sea cave, countless grottoes, and deserted cove beaches are best accessed by boat. Lagos, Portimão, and Vilamoura provide excellent marina facilities.
The Azores
For adventure sailors, the Azores archipelago sits 1,500km west of mainland Portugal in the mid-Atlantic. Nine volcanic islands offer dramatic scenery, whale watching (some of the world's best), hot springs, and a genuine frontier sailing experience. The marina at Horta on Faial is legendary – a traditional mid-Atlantic stopover where sailors paint murals on the harbour wall.
