• Go scuba diving or snorkelling: The clear waters around the islands offer excellent visibility for deep diving or if you want to wade at the surface, snorkelling. Sal island is home to Santa Maria, which is considered one of the best diving spots in Cape Verde. The area has a variety of dive sites, including coral reefs, shipwrecks and walls for exploring. You’ll also find a variety of marine life in this colourful reef including schools of barracudas, octopus, moray eels and parrotfish. If you’re feeling brave, you can head to Shark Point, another popular diving spot. As its name suggests, the site has a large shark population, including reef sharks and nurse sharks, all of which you can swim with!
• Get in touch with nature and go on a hike: Some of the islands have volcanic peaks that can be climbed for spectacular views. Tackle the second-highest peak in the archipelago at Pico de Fogo, an active volcano with a summit to make the most experienced hikers sweat.
• Go surfing!: If you like riding the waves, Sal Island is the place to go! Although most people go there to dive, it has some spots that attract surfers from around the globe.
• Explore the vibrant culture: Cape Verde has a rich history and culture. Visit the capital city of Praia or go to the island of Santiago to see colonial-era buildings and learn more about this fascinating archipelago.
• Soak up the sun on the beach: If you’re a fan of the beach, you’ll be spoilt for choice in Cape Verde. Morro Branco is a large white sand beach with a dramatic landscape of natural rock formations and cliffs, that contrasts with the blue waters of the ocean. The beach is also known for its windy conditions, which are perfect for windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Skippers can serve as a watchful eye to make sure everything is smooth sailing, or they can take the helm while you enjoy time with your family.

What type of boat is best for a Cape Verde yacht charter?

A perfect sailing trip starts with the perfect vessel, but knowing which one to pick can be tricky. When choosing a vessel for your Cape Verde yacht charter, you should think about how much time you plan to spend on board. For a holiday of less than a week we’d recommend a daily charter such as a motorboat or RIB whereas a longer charter would require a more spacious vessel. Catamarans are a great option for a longer holiday since they have all of the necessary amenities on board to keep you comfortable. Sailboats are also a nice option for an authentic sailing holiday however, they can be quite unstable on the water. Because of this, they aren’t recommended for people who are prone to seasickness and if you’re a novice sailor we’d recommend choosing a sailboat with a skipper.
