48ft Nautitech 47 Sailing Catamaran - Sao Miguel, Azores (2008)

This is a 48-foot Nautitech 47 catamaran built for serious offshore sailing — not a party boat dressed up in sailing clothes. The boat has crossed oceans, and it shows in how it handles: stable at anchor, fast under sail, and genuinely comfortable in the Atlantic conditions that define the Azores. The captain has been sailing these islands professionally since 1999 and knows the weather patterns, anchorages, and coastal details that don't appear on any chart. Day charters depart from Vila Franca do Campo and follow the volcanic south coast of São Miguel — past the famous islet, into calm water for swimming when conditions allow. Multi-day charters turn the boat into a floating base for island-hopping across the archipelago, with routes shaped by weather and what your group wants to see. The itinerary is never fixed, and the captain is honest about that from the start.
