Sailing adventure with the Blue Clipper along the coasts of Portugal and Andalusia.
Step aboard the impressive tall ship Blue Clipper and set sail along the stunning coastline of Portugal’s Algarve and the enchanting southern coast of Andalusia in Spain. During this unique sailing journey, you’ll experience the charm of traditional tall ship sailing while exploring ancient harbour towns, rugged natural landscapes, and hidden bays.
The journey begins in Portimão, a historic harbour town renowned for its shipbuilding and sardine fishing traditions. This atmospheric city still breathes its maritime heritage and serves as the perfect starting point for your sailing holiday.
Enjoy the warm autumn sun as you sail past towering cliffs, golden beaches, and rolling green hills. Along the way, explore the Algarve’s striking rock formations, walk its dramatic coastal paths, and discover hidden sea caves by paddleboard—far from the usual tourist trails. A true highlight is the world-famous Benagil Cave near Lagos, only accessible by water, making it the perfect spot to explore from the Blue Clipper.
Your adventure may also take you to the Andalusian coast, where you can explore the fragrant countryside filled with eucalyptus forests and ancient white villages. A special stop is the historic city of Cádiz, almost entirely surrounded by water. With its 3,000-year history, Roman ruins, narrow medieval streets, and whitewashed squares, it is one of Spain’s oldest and most distinctive cities. The iconic Torre Tavira, once a lookout point for passing ships, is a reminder of Cádiz’s rich maritime past.
This sailing journey does not follow a fixed itinerary: the route is determined by the wind and weather conditions, allowing you to fully enjoy the sailing experience and nature. At the start of the journey, the captain will assess the most favorable and adventurous sailing plan. Along the way, there will be plenty of opportunities to go ashore, hike, discover local harbors, or simply relax on board.
