Thousands of yachts crossed the Atlantic Ocean in an old fashioned way: from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean. Take a break. Sail from the Canaries to the laid back and exquisite diving spot the Brazilian island Fernando do Noronha.

Position 3 degrees south and 32 west. A beautiful sail 12 months a year without worries and spotless seas and winds. Take only care during January and February when the northern and northeasterly swell of 3 to 4 meters enters the anchorage. Not good for a yacht I would say. But between May to November or December? Perfect. And by the way: from Noronha it is a perfect ride to Forteleza, Belem (Amazon), Guyana and Suriname (how beautiful) and from there into the Caribbean.

Besides spotless beaches and perfect diving at offshore reefs, you will taste the first flavor of Brazilian people. Their music and easy going lifestyle, the good and quite affordable priced food and their friendliness and hospitality. Visit one of the most famous bays in the world. A place where hundreds of Îspinnerâ dolphins meet. They jump high turning around and around, flip over, socialize and above all they want to be with you! Enjoy this Brazilian nature park. But donât speerfish or hunt or whatsoever. The police will empty your pockets and kick you out of the island!
