Sailing and Cruises in Portugal
Find sailing schools and cruises in Portugal
The sea has always played a fundamental part in Portugal's history, culture and cuisine and now it is the nation's playground!
Portugal has a beautiful and very diverse coastline and the sailing conditions here are so good that they have attracted the ISAF world sailing championships.
Personally I think there's no better way to spend a sunny day than on the water and there are sailing centres throughout the country offering:
yacht charters and cruises
sight-seeing boat trips on state-of-the-art yachts, RIBs, traditional fishing boats and even replicas of historic vessels
sailing baptisms (an introduction to sailing)
intensive sailing courses for beginners and experienced sailors
and corporate hospitality and team building
