Milebuilding Trips

Lanzarote to Cape Verdes and return

Approx 1800 miles.  This Ocean passage is an ideal Ocean Yacht master qualifying passage. Astronavigation can be included.

Sail to the beautiful Islands of Cape Verdes, one of the few places left in the world where a yachtsman can still be at one with nature. Stay for 3-4 days in Marina Mindelo located in the capital of St Vicente.

St Vicente is an exciting island with a distinctly European flavour which has attracted the bohemian set with musicians, intellectuals and artists mingling with the tourists.

With sandy beaches, calm tropical waters, year round sunshine, mouth-watering local foods, and a carnival spirit.

Music is the heartbeat of the Cape Verdean culture and St Vicente is the premier stage for it on the islands. With year round celebrations of the native music, song and dance. 'No stress' is the Cape Verdean ideal and when in such a natural landscape with fantastic weather, you really do want to kick off your sandals and dance!

Hikers and non-hikers alike can also experience the stunning scenery of the dormant volcano island Santo Antao, just an hour by ferry from the port of Mindelo.

Lanzarote to Azores and return

Approx 1750 miles via Madeira

Sail the 300 miles to Madeira, an island that has so much to offer from its historical monuments, squares and streets in the capital of Funchal to enchanting gardens, picturesque villages, amazing landscapes, impressive volcanic caves, rugged coast lines, beautiful natural beaches and, breathtaking views, there is so much to see that your 2 days here will be busy.

Next sail the 600 miles to The Azores, where each of the nine islands of the Azores has an individualized landscape, however they all share vibrant greenery which includes all the colors of the rainbow and is speckled with bright flowers.

Stay for approximately 3 days and enjoy a pace of life in which there is time to stop and appreciate living. Art treasures that recall centuries-long history. A place where the past is involved in everyday life.
Then there are the wonderful lagoons at the bottom of craters. A true paradise and sailor’s haven.
