What should be the first thing you do in 2019? How about sailing in Cape Verde! This will surely get your year on a good track. This island-hopping adventure starts and ends on the island of Sal. You will spend your days sailing between the islands or visitng, and most of the nights on anchor, with some overnight crossings. If the conditions permit, you will visit at least 6 beautiful islands, from the most popular to the off-the-beaten-path ones. You can choose to explore on your own, or join the organised excursions for additional fee (approx. € 140 in total, depending on the number of participants). Open for all Windseekers, minimum age 15 years.

Ports

Sal is one of the three sandy eastern islands of the Cape Verde archipelago, together with Boa Vista and Maio. The island is a dream destination for windsurfing enthusiasts, due to its sandy beaches and persistent winds. Tourism is on the rise in Cape Verde, but outside of the beach resort of Santa Maria the island retains its relaxed feel. Explore the quiet streets with their brightly colored houses, the blue eye cave, and the saline flats. The sun shines 350 days a year, so bring sunscreen!
