Planning your charter

Choose the island before the yacht

Cape Verde comprises ten Atlantic islands formed through volcanic activity. Their landscapes differ: Sal, Boa Vista and Maio contrast with the more rugged relief of the other islands. The geographical groups also help place the names you encounter while planning: Sal belongs to Barlavento, while Santiago, Fogo and Brava belong to Sotavento. Start by deciding which island fits your land stay and where the boat appointment will take place.

International airports serve Sal, Santiago, Boa Vista and São Vicente, so the country name alone is too broad for choosing a flight. The departure explored here is Palmeira on Sal. Put that island beside the departure details of the yacht you are considering, and use the Palmeira guide to work through the local arrival. If your holiday includes another island, keep its travel arrangements visible when deciding how much time to give the charter.

Connect your arrival on Sal with the boat appointment

Amílcar Cabral International Airport, code SID, is on Sal. Cabo Verde Airports publishes an airport page with arrival and departure information; use it alongside your airline's details when planning the visit. Once you have a preferred yacht, give Charter Easy your intended arrival and departure dates. The operator's confirmed joining and return arrangements are the useful reference for deciding how those flights fit around time aboard.

Treat the airport journey and the meeting appointment as two parts of the plan. The airport operator publishes ground-transport information and points travellers towards municipal authorities for island-specific taxi pricing. Ask how you will reach the confirmed meeting place, who is arranging that journey and whether any transport appears in the quote. Leave room in your holiday plan to settle in on Sal rather than tying every activity to the moment your flight arrives.

Compare the boat around your group's needs

Describe the party before narrowing the yachts: how many people are travelling, whether you intend to sleep aboard, and what matters most during time on the boat. Compare the individual yacht's recorded cabins, berths, WC, equipment and dimensions. A photograph or type label gives a first impression; the actual layout and supplied specifications are more useful for deciding how the group will use the space. Request anything missing from the offer.

The service arrangement belongs in the same comparison. Check the charter mode and whether a skipper is listed as included, obligatory or optional, then ask what that service covers and how it is priced. If you are considering an arrangement that requires your own documents or qualifications, have the charter company check them for the selected yacht. Charter Easy can help shortlist against your dates, group, intended trip and budget, then coordinate the offer questions with the operator.

Use the conditions for your chosen dates

Cape Verde's broad climate is generally warm and dry, with trade winds influencing the islands; the tourism institute particularly highlights wind on Sal. This is useful background when discussing the kind of experience your party wants. Explain whether time aboard is the main purpose of the holiday or one activity within a stay on Sal, and share any concerns the group has about wind or motion when asking the operator about the proposed trip.

INMG, the national meteorological institute, describes weather and sea monitoring as part of its maritime role and treats wind, wave height and period, and tides as separate planning factors. Ask which current information will inform the operator's plan and how arrangements would be handled if conditions change. Historical climate references, including the Sal airport's 1981–2010 record, explain long-term patterns. The decision for a particular outing needs information relevant to its dates and the chosen boat.

Give Sal and Cape Verdean culture time ashore

Sal's name reflects the salt industry that developed from the eighteenth century into the middle of the twentieth century. Its tourism information also identifies Murdeira Bay, Buracona and Ponta Preta as island visitor interests. Decide which parts of Sal you would like to explore separately from the boat component, and allow time for those visits before or after it. This gives the yacht enquiry a realistic place within the wider island stay.

Cape Verdean culture gives the holiday another dimension. Portuguese is the official language, while Creole is central to local identity; Morna, Batuque and Funaná are among the country's musical forms. Cachupa, traditionally based on corn and beans, has versions with fish, meat or vegetables. These are useful starting points for choosing what to explore ashore. Keep any meal, cultural outing or island visit you arrange beside the yacht appointment so the plans fit comfortably together.

Turn a shortlist into a complete offer

Compare the same information for each shortlisted yacht: dates, departure and return details, accommodation, equipment, service scope and payment terms. Read the charter price alongside known mandatory charges and payments due at the marina. Keep the refundable deposit separate when budgeting, and ask for clarification wherever an amount or condition is missing. A useful comparison explains both what you pay for the trip and what funds may be needed for the deposit.

Send Charter Easy a focused brief with your dates, party, budget, arrival plan and the questions that matter to you. We coordinate checks with the charter operator and help clarify services, documents, payments, deposit and booking terms. Before committing, bring the joining instructions and confirmed offer into the same plan as your flights and land stay. You can also contact Charter Easy before departure, during the charter and after returning for help coordinating questions with the operator.

Questions before you choose

  • How do I choose a departure within Cape Verde?

    Start with the island named in the yacht offer and match it to your land stay and arrival airport. Cape Verde has ten islands; this guide explores the Palmeira departure on Sal. Use the local Palmeira guide for arrival and joining questions, then confirm the selected operator's arrangements.

  • Which airport fits a Palmeira enquiry?

    Amílcar Cabral International Airport on Sal uses the code SID. The international airports on Santiago, Boa Vista and São Vicente serve different islands. Match your flight to Sal and compare its timing with the joining and return details confirmed for your chosen yacht.

  • How should I choose my dates for time on the water?

    Use the broad warm, dry and trade-wind context as background, then discuss your preferred dates and trip with the operator. Wind, waves and tides need current attention. Ask what information will guide the plan and how a change in conditions would affect the arrangements.

  • Does the yacht type tell me whether a skipper is included?

    Read the service listing for the individual offer. Included, obligatory and optional skipper services have different meanings and may have different prices. Charter Easy can help clarify the scope with the operator and arrange a check of any documents required for the proposed charter arrangement.

  • What should I include in the holiday budget?

    Compare the charter price, known mandatory charges and payments due at the marina, and keep the refundable deposit separate. Include your independently arranged flights, land stay and transport in the wider holiday plan. Request missing amounts and check payment and deposit conditions in the confirmed documents.

  • What information helps Charter Easy prepare a shortlist?

    Share your dates, party, budget, preferred service arrangement and what you want from time aboard. Add the arrival island and any land plans that affect the appointment. Charter Easy can narrow the yacht choices and coordinate checks of the selected boat, dates and booking terms with its operator.
