Atlantic crossing Sal stop-over
If you're heading for Sao Vicente to start your ocean
crossing with On Deck Sailing, you have several options, depending on
when you would like to arrive in the Cape Verdes.
Option One - quick pit stop in the Cape Verde Islands
Don't miss the beautiful white sandy beaches on Sal. (See photos
right) Spend a night on Sal, meet up with the rest of the crew, have a great night out, and then fly on to Sao Vicente,
Mindelo the next day in order to catch up with the fleet. There's windsurfing,
kite surfing, diving available nearby in Santa Maria. There are
plenty of restaurants and bars, and places near the ocean where
you can eat and drink and you should be pleasantly surprised by
the prices compared to the Caribbean. We can also book flights to Sal, Cape Verde.

Flights to Cape Verde
There are direct flights to Sal on Mondays from Gatwick, Tuesdays from Manchester. There are also daily flights from Gatwick and Heathrow to Sal via Lisbon. Contact us for more information.
Option two - discover the Cape Verde Islands before you sail away
Spend a night or two on Sal, then head off for Sao Vicente, where the boats will be based.
Spend several nights there before boarding your Farr 65. Enjoy visiting Mindelo, Cape Verde's cultural
centre with lots of restaurants, art galleries, and excellent music.
Being a port, there is associated history, coupled with many passing yachts, whose crews congregate in the Yacht Club near the water front. Maybe take the opportunity to see Santa Antao on a day trip or longer on the
ferry which links the two islands (one of the most remote and beautiful
Cape Verde Islands). We can also book flights to Sal, Cape Verde and organise stays on any of the Cape Verde islands.
