Yacht Transportation from Cascais Portugal, to Gibraltar. Sailing yacht delivery by our expert boat delivery team based in the Algarve
Before embarking on our journey from Cascais to Gibraltar with a 45-foot sailing yacht, our team at Timeless Moments undertook meticulous pre-departure preparations to guarantee a safe and smooth passage.
Our process began with an extensive inspection of the yacht:
Our navigation planning involved several key elements:
We set sail from Cascais Marina early in the morning. This first leg was kept short to thoroughly test all systems under actual sailing conditions. The Atlantic breeze was favorable, and the yacht handled beautifully, gliding through the waves.
Overnight Stop: We arrived at Sines Marina by late afternoon. After securing the yacht, we conducted a thorough inspection to ensure all systems were functioning optimally, particularly focusing on the rigging and sails. Content with the performance, we enjoyed the evening exploring the historic coastal town of Sines.
Fuel Stop: Refueled at Sines Marina to ensure the auxiliary engine was ready for the next leg.
With favorable winds, we departed Sines and continued our journey south along the Portuguese coastline towards Lagos. The sailing conditions were excellent, with a steady wind propelling us forward.
Overnight Stop: We reached Marina de Lagos by late evening. After docking, we explored the vibrant town known for its stunning cliffs and rich maritime history.
Fuel Stop: Topped up the fuel tanks to prepare for the next leg, ensuring we had enough fuel for auxiliary power if needed.
Leaving Lagos behind, we sailed towards Faro. The wind conditions remained favorable, allowing us to maintain a steady speed.
Overnight Stop: Arrived at Faro Marina by evening. After securing the yacht, we took the opportunity to explore the historic and cultural charms of Faro.
Fuel Stop: Refueled at Faro Marina to ensure the auxiliary engine was ready for the next leg.
We set sail from Faro towards Cadiz, Spain, navigating through the Gulf of Cadiz. The wind conditions were moderate, and the yacht sailed smoothly.
Overnight Stop: Reached Puerto América in Cadiz by late evening. After docking, we explored the historic city known for its rich cultural heritage.
Fuel Stop: Topped up the fuel tanks at the marina to prepare for the final leg of our journey.
Our final leg took us from Cadiz to Gibraltar. The wind was favorable, and the yacht maintained a steady pace, cruising smoothly towards our destination.
Arrival in Gibraltar: By early evening, we arrived at Marina Bay in Gibraltar. After docking, we conducted a final systems check to ensure everything was in perfect condition after the journey. We celebrated the successful completion of the delivery with a delightful meal at one of Gibraltar's renowned waterfront restaurants.
This five-day sailing voyage from Cascais to Gibraltar underscored the importance of meticulous planning and professional execution by our team. The deliberately short first leg allowed us to thoroughly test all systems, ensuring the yacht was in optimal condition for the longer subsequent legs. The scenic beauty of the route, combined with the cultural richness of each stop, made the journey memorable.
