Pure Sail Azores

Igor Radyuk / Belarus

Really the best charter company!I rented Bavaria 41 Hera in June, 2017 for 2 weeks. And these guys are really profesionals! The boat was in perfect conditons with all nessesary equipment on board. By my expirience not every company make so many efforts to prepare the same conditions of charter boats. Check in and briefing before charter was very efficient with many good advices and additional information to make our trip amazing.I can say exactly, when I return to Azores I'll take a boat in Pure Sail!

Pure Sail Azores

Kurt Mahnert / Austria

Best equipped charter boat in my personal experienceTook over the boat in a perfectly clean and exceptionally well equipped condition. Easy but detailed takeover / checkin with all explanations. Boat almost new, and from tools to dishes, welcome package and beautiful sheets and covers on the bed everything was in best and brandnew condition. Many recommendations were given for marinas, harbours and bays, as well as about fishing and special destinations that should not be missed.Aside from the perfect boat and service of Pure Sail Yacht Charter, the Azores are really worth a visit: Perfect nature, friendly and helpful people, beautiful landscape and all far away from crowded and over-marketed areas. This is "real sailing", no crowded bays and no traffic on the ocean aside from tons of dolphins, some whales and even a turtle. All in all a perfect holiday, away from "usual pathes" with a touch of adventure in one of the most beautiful places if not the most beautiful area where I have sailed so far. 

Pure Sail Azores

Ben H. / Spain

The best way to see the AzoresWe hired 'Urze' a beautiful 41ft for three days and two nights along with skipper/owner Duarte and had an absolute ball. The boat is almost brand new, well appointed and very comfortable, with three decent berths. It's also well equipped with a decent size saloon and was perfect for explorung the coast of Sao Miguel, including the famous crater island at Vila Franca. Duarte was an accommodating host, passionate about sailing and the Azores, and was especially good and patient with our youngest. He also turned out to be a pretty good chef! We were privileged to sail among at least three pods of dolphins. This is really a great way to see the Azores and its marine life and Pure Sail comes highy recommended.

                      The Azores

Nine emerald islands, ranging from the smallest- Corvo with 421 inhabitants to San Miguel with 140.000 inhabitants, warmed by the Gulf Stream and surrounded by an ocean teeming with life. All islands are within easy reach from each other in a day’s trip. The Azores offer some very interesting sightseeing too. The Unesco has declared the beautiful town Angra do Heroismo on Terceira a cultural heritage. On San Miguel are the Blue and Green Lagoons in a huge extinct volcano cone. There are several hot spots on the island, in some of them food is cooked traditionally, one of them is in a small cove and warms the sea, it’s like swimming in a huge bathtub. Santa Maria with its dazzling exotic flora is another Madeira- one huge flowery garden. On Faial is Peter Café Sport, one of the most famous sailors’ bar anywhere on the planet. The beauty of the Azores is endless. No mass tourism spoils any of the islands. Due to the Gulf Stream the weather is always just right- nice and warm but not too hot. From June onwards you can expect air temperatures between 24° and 28°, water temperatures 22° - 25°.

All nine islands have a variety of excellent trails, pure nature and fantastic views over the ocean. They also offer many other
activities, see the official Website Visitazores:

                     Islandhopping

You can chose between going into the ports or marinas and exploring the islands or staying out for a beautiful night sail under the bright stars in a fluorescent sea, caused by bioluminescent algae. Every movement of the boat leaves a glittering trail of small stars in the water, Dolphins coming up to the boat seem to be swimming in long shining pipes. Island hopping on the Azores is very pleasant sailing. You can see the next island when you take off in the morning. However, just a few miles off the islands you are in the deep sea, 2000-4000m depths are normal. After a beautiful days cruise you arrive on a new island to explore. For those who would like a longer trip or need mileage for their Yacht Master License there is the option of a cruise from San Miguel to Madeira (4-5 days), back to Santa Maria (4-5 days) and then San Miguel, altogether 1000 sea miles of mainly Bluewater Sailing.

 

Yes, there are whales to be seen, and the right expression for what we offer is sea watching; whales, birds, dolphins, turtles, bonitos and sunfish. Whale hunting from small wooden sailing boats has a long tradition on the Azores due to the great variety of whales around the islands. Commercial whale hunting ended in 1966, however, you can still find the traditional whaling boats around the islands, now used for leisure. You can often say hello to dolphins coming up to the boat for a visit. Tuna and bonitos sometimes follow the boat for days on end. In calm conditions you can go for a swim from the boat. A strange feeling, swimming in the ocean, knowing there are several thousand meters of water below you. The water temperatures rise to about 23°C in July and 24°-25° in August, with air temperatures around 25°-27° thanks to the Gulf Stream. There is no better and relaxed way to get to know a bit about sailing and the sea.

Bareboat Charter

Bareboat charter means renting a yacht without crew, means that you will be its captain, you will have both the responsibility and the pleasure of navigating it between your chosen destinations, at your own path and as the weather and nature forces permit.

For that, you just need 3 simple things: (i) to have the proper qualifications (please visit licensing for bareboat)(ii) to have the adequate sailing experience and  (iii) to have the desire of captaining a yacht.

The Captain/Skipper will be responsible for all aspects of running the yacht, including sailing, navigating, anchoring, provisioning, cooking and cleaning. But do not worry, because you will do all of it in the utmost sailing environment of freedom and privacy.

SAILAZORES YACHT CHARTER ensures that every bareboat charter yacht in our fleet is meticulously prepared and double-checked prior to your arrival, that your complimentary welcome pack is on board, and that your provisions are correctly stowed, ready and waiting, if you pre-ordered them. We take care to guide you through the beautiful Azorean islands in our comprehensive chart briefing. We take the time to explain you the yacht operation on an individual basis, so you do not feel “alone somewhere in the Atlantic”.

If it is been a while since you last sailed a bareboat yacht charter, do not worry, as our team will gladly assist you to your first night’s anchorage or mooring. But that is not all. Once you are on the water on the yacht charter with us, the SAILAZORES YACHT CHARTER service does not end there. We provide you with full 24 hours per day cover.

Call us from the boat mobile phone and we will be happy to help you.

The historical and cultural heritage of this archipelago can be  found in its ancient churches and monasteries. If you want to get  acquainted with the culture of the Azores, you should visit the town of  Madalena located on the island of Pico, here you can visit wine museum  and famous ancient Santa Maria Madalena church. In Sao Ruca, explore the  Sao Roque church and the monastery of Sao Pedro de Alcantra. If you  travel to Lajes, don’t miss museum “Baleeiros” that will tell you the  story of whaling craft flourished on the island in the past.

The Azores have maritime subtropical climate on all the islands.  Located on the same latitude as Mediterranean countries they have  temperatures much milder throughout the year because of the influence of  the Atlantic Ocean.

The Archipelago of the Azores are located in the mid North Atlantic Ocean, within a range bounded by the parallels 36° 55' 43'' and 39° 43' 02'' N and the meridians 24° 46 ' 15'' and 31° 16' 02'' W.
