Cape Verde

Sailing trip in the Cape Verde Islands

We sail around the northern islands from Sao Vicente with the lively harbour town of Mindelo, across the still largely untouched tourist destination Sao Nicolau with towering mountains and bizarre rock formations, to the eastern sandy island Boa Vista and back to Santo Antao. Mountainous volcanic islands, steep green gorges, old hiking trails, dragon trees, long sandy beaches, deserts, palm oases and often pilot whales, dolphins and with some luck also humpback whales off the coast… With travel accompaniment

Important information

You can conveniently reach the harbours in the Mediterranean with the usual airlines. The Cape Verde Islands and Azores are best reached via Lisbon. Returning from the Caribbean to Europe usually goes via London or Paris. For the return crossing to the Mediterranean, you fly via London to Antigua. Depending on the length of the trip, you should allow a buffer of 1-3 days for the return flight or book a ticket that can be changed.

The price includes: costs for the nautical crew and service, accommodation on board in the booked category, sea transport, full board on board / 1 evening per week to get to know the local cuisine at your own expense, water, tea, filter coffee. The price does not include: arrival and departure, transfers, soft drinks, Nespresso and alcoholic beverages, water sports from the boat, shore excursions and tips.

Sailing on the Atlantic is usually associated with the trade winds, which blow steadily in many areas. The weather can vary on long crossings, from calm conditions to heavy seas, and the influences of the Gulf Stream as well as crossing cold fronts require special attention. Current weather information is crucial to navigate through the various conditions in the Atlantic.

Life on board the Sailing-Classics yachts is very safe and well organised. The vessels meet the highest safety standards and are inspected annually. The captain and helmsman are graduates of a professional maritime college and undergo continuous professional development. The rest of the crew also receive intensive training in how to deal with emergencies. A compulsory safety briefing takes place at the start of every voyage. Furthermore, despite their speed, the yachts sail with remarkable stability – even in heavy weather, hardly any water comes on deck.

Both German and English are spoken on board the Sailing-Classics yachts. The language used amongst the international crew is English, whilst they communicate with guests in both German and English. On the KAIRÓS, we cannot always guarantee communication in German.

Meals on board Sailing-Classics are organised on a full-board basis and are included in the tour price. The day begins with a generous breakfast buffet, followed by a light two-course lunch and coffee and cake in the afternoon. In the evening, the on-board chef prepares a three-course dinner. On the final evening, the festive Captain’s Dinner is the culinary highlight. Once a week, a dinner is held ashore to sample the regional cuisine – this is not included in the tour price. Special dietary requirements and allergies can be catered for if notified in advance.

Sailing-Classics organises shore excursions using the crew’s motorised dinghies. On request, the crew will take you ashore and collect you again free of charge – simply let the team know in good time. In addition, in many sailing areas, the crew organises guided shore excursions with a local guide or accompanied by a crew member. The price per participant is communicated in advance and charged to your on-board account. Of course, you are also welcome to explore the surrounding area on your own.

The cabins on board the Sailing-Classics yachts are comfortable and practically furnished. Each cabin has its own en-suite bathroom with a toilet and shower cubicle, individually controlled air conditioning, a wardrobe, a hairdryer, and hand and bath towels. 230-volt sockets are available for charging electronic devices. A reusable water bottle is provided in every cabin and can be refilled at the water dispenser in the saloon.

At Sailing-Classics, you’re warmly invited to get actively involved in sailing – no prior experience or sailing licence required. You can help set and trim the sails, take the helm yourself, or lend a hand with other tasks on deck. The crew will be happy to explain the basics of sailing to you, show you how radar navigation works on the bridge, or give you a tour of the engine room. Those who prefer to relax can simply enjoy the passing scenery – the motto is: ‘Everything is possible, nothing is compulsory.’

To cancel your sailing holiday with Sailing-Classics, please send your cancellation request by email to info@sailing-classics.com. Written notification is required so that the cancellation can be processed officially. Depending on when the cancellation is made, Sailing-Classics’ tiered cancellation terms and conditions will apply. We strongly recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance to protect yourself financially.
