Cape Verde Sailing
Join us on the water and explore Cape Verde from the sea.
From relaxed half-day sails along the southwest coast of Sal to longer, customized island-hopping trips aboard our Lagoon 500, our experiences are designed around time, space, and the rhythm of the ocean.
We’ve been sailing here for over eight years, offering honest, unhurried experiences – guided by nature and a genuine passion for the ocean.
How Our Cape Verde Sailing Adventure Started
Our story started with a shared love for the ocean and the idea of building something of our own – shaped by sailing, freedom, and life at sea.
Lucas, originally from Denmark, arrived in Cape Verde by sailboat aboard Lucy. What began as an adventure with a close friend slowly turned into the first steps of Cape Verde Sailing. When his friend later returned to Denmark, Lucas stayed, committed to the islands, the wind, and the potential of creating a sailing business rooted in real seamanship.
Around the same time, Susi moved to Cape Verde from Germany. Half German and half Brazilian, she had just started a small hotel in Santa Maria. When we met, sailing and hospitality naturally came together. We fell in love, joined forces, and decided to grow both projects side by side – on the water and on land.
Living full-time on the ocean, we built Cape Verde Sailing step by step, driven by curiosity, new ideas, and the motivation to do things differently. From one boat, the company has grown into what it is today – without losing its personal approach.
Together with our international and experienced crew, we share a common mindset: a love for the sea, respect for nature, and the desire to inspire others to start their own adventures – whether for a day or much longer.
