Z13: Sailing holidays in West Spain & Portugal

From the charming Vigo, we will sail towards the Islas Cies, where we drop anchor. The Islas Cies are a nature reserve where we go ashore for a nice walk with great views over the islands and the ocean. The next day we sail to the beautiful Baionna (this is the port where Columbus came ashore after rediscovering the New World) with a beautiful beach and a castle at the harbor. Then we sail up the Atlantic ocean to the cozy Viana do Castelo in Portugal. This sailing voyage ends in Porto, where we eat out. A beautiful old city and on the world heritage list of UNESCO.

In general there will be constant wind direction from the North on the west coast of Portugal. Known as the Nortada, or “Portuguese North”. This means downwind sailing for us. Normally, this wind starts from 12 a.m. and increases in the afternoon until sunset.
That means that we can have a relaxed breakfast, or take a short walk, and then we will have a beautiful day of sailing on the azure blue ocean.

The daily distances are between 10 and 30 miles.

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.
