Sail to Sao Nicolau

All our cruises start on Sal Island, which offers the best connections with Europe. .
Sao Nicolau is the second closest island to Sal. A quiet and still little-known island with beautiful nature and a typically agricultural face, where agritourism, which has been fashionable in recent years, is developing. The surprising landscape with the highest peak Monte Gordo, which is 1312 m above sea level, shows the true diversity of nature. The island, which we will reach in 12 hours of sailing, may already deserve the title of Green. Two attractions on the island have been classified as one of the seven wonders of the Cape Verde Islands: Monte Gordo Nature Park and Carbeirinho Beach.
Thanks to the conditions on the Cape Verde Islands, sailing is possible most of the year.
