We start this boat trip at the port of Sagres and we’ll cruise in the direction of Cape St. Vincent. We will pass by the Ponta de Sagres, a 300m large spit of land with steep cliffs. Then, we’ll sail along the Fortaleza which is an important Portuguese Monument. The legend tells that Henry the Navigator did his operational studies here. We’ll also pass by the Fortaleza de Beliche, Praia de Beliche and the small Chapel of Santa Catarina.
We will then surround the famous Cape St. Vincent with its lighthouse. Up to this day, this lighthouse is known as Europe’s brightest. Here you can admire the Algarve from a different point of view, with its up to 70m high cliffs. The cape is known as a sacred place since the Neolithic period, and it has got its name after Saint Vincent of Saragossa, a patron saint of sailors. Not only discoverers of New Worlds, also countless pirate ships passed the Cape St. Vincent at the time, turning it into one of the world’s most frequented sea routes.
