Hire a boat in Portugal

Discovering Portugal

The mild climate, bright sunshine and favorable winds make sailing along the Portuguese coast a remarkable experience. There are many places where you can start your cruise. The Gulf of Cascais near Lisbon and the Gulf of Lagos in the Algarve are considered the best places to start a regatta and regularly host some of the most prestigious sailing events and regattas. Situated on seven hills, Lisbon attracts a lot of tourists every year who like to stroll through the atmospheric streets of the old town (Alfama and Baixa). St. George's Castle towers over the city and the wide Rossio square seems to open the city to the river. Being in Portugal is also worth a look at the charming town of Porto. Picturesquely located on the river Duero was recognized in the world thanks to the wine port, which was transported from here on barges to England. We also recommend the beautiful city of Aveiro, which is called the Portuguese Venice. It is full of colorful boats that sail along the local canals.

Being on the Portuguese coast you feel close to the sea. Sailing traditions are very much rooted here. This is where famous explorers like Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan came from. The connection to the sea can also be seen in the local cuisine, which is rich in fish and seafood. Most tourists don't leave here without trying the famous "pasteis de bacalhau", or cod dumpling. Another sweet treat is pastel de nata. These are sweet and quite greasy cupcakes with delicate cream, served with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Apart from a feast for the palate, Portugal also offers a paradise for culture lovers. On the local buildings you can admire intricately decorated ceramic tiles, called azulejos. And in the local bars you can hear emotional fado music. Sung to the accompaniment of a 12-string guitar, it grabs the heart with poignant melodies.
