The Republic of
Cape Verde is an archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean, lying approximately
15°N 23°W, 375 miles off the western coast of Africa. The islands are divided
into two groups - the northern islands "Barlavento" including Santo Antão, São
Vicente, Santa Luzia, São Nicolau, Sal, and Boa Vista. And the southern islands
"Sotavento"; Maio, Santiago, Fogo, and Brava
There is almost always a
constant trade wind blowing across the charter area. Combined with dry, tropical
weather and mild temperatures throughout the year, mile after mile of stunning
beaches, and a fascinating local cultural mix the Cape Verde delivers a great
yacht charter destination
There is a small fleet of boats available for you to charter in Cape
Verde divided between the bases of Palmeira on Sal and Mindelo on Sao Vincente.
Both islands have international airports
