The Azores are nine volcanic islands sitting 1,400 km off mainland Portugal in the middle of the Atlantic — a destination that rewards sailors who want something other than a Mediterranean tan. The central triangle of Faial, Pico, and São Jorge sits in line-of-sight of each other and forms the practical week-long charter route. Pico rises 2,351 metres straight out of the sea — Portugal's highest peak, often capped in cloud — while Faial's Horta marina is the most famous Atlantic crossing stopover in the world, with hand-painted murals from every passing boat covering the harbour walls, and sperm whales, blue whales, and dolphins passing through year-round so most charters include a guided sighting. Onshore: cozido das Furnas cooked underground in volcanic steam, fresh tuna at every restaurant, Pico's island wine grown in lava stone walls. Season runs May through September; calmer seas and warmer water, though weather changes fast.
