Step aboard Salty Planet, a beautifully maintained 1995 Jeanneau Sun Legend 41 sailing yacht, and experience the stunning waters around Horta from a whole new perspective.
São Roque Do Pico is your north-coast launchpad to the wild heart of the Azores. Set along the channel that separates Pico from São Jorge, it offers a sheltered departure point and immediate access to dramatic volcanic shorelines, lava arches, and crystal-clear Atlantic waters. From here, boaters can trace black-rock cliffs, drift into calm coves, and swim in natural ocean pools that make this stretch of coast a favorite for relaxed cruising and snorkeling alike.
This is also prime territory for marine wildlife encounters. The Azores’ long tradition of using coastal lookouts to spot whales and dolphins helps captains position you where the action is, turning a half-day on the water into an unforgettable safari. Between sightings, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of Mount Pico rising from the sea—a backdrop that makes even an easygoing coastal tour feel epic.
Anglers know these waters for their pelagic life, with offshore runs putting you quickly over productive banks and blue water. Whether you’re targeting hard-fighting game fish or introducing first-timers to light-tackle action closer to shore, local crews tailor trips to your goals and experience level.
Prefer to keep it leisurely? Sunset cruises, private sightseeing, and island-hopping across the “Triangle” of Pico, Faial, and São Jorge are all within easy reach. However you choose to explore, São Roque Do Pico delivers a true Azorean boating experience—raw, scenic, and wonderfully close to nature.
