From a quick four-hour jaunt to a full two-day voyage, these private yacht charters are the perfect way to take in the beauty of the Azores. Archipelago Azores Ltd. run two top-notch sailing vessels, based in the lovely marinas of Vila Franca on São Miguel Island and Horta on Faial Island. Both yachts are 40-foot Dufours, with three double cabins, a galley, saloon, and two bathrooms. The one- to six-person charters come with professional local skippers who know the waters well, so you can either take the ropes and get sailing instruction, or sit back and leave the driving to them. Included in the price are the skipper, fuel, harbor fees, insurance, and some drinks and food.
