Boat charter in Cape Verde · Leopard 48 in Sal / Palmeira / Sal Harbour — “Seas the Day (Cabo Verde)” — (2015)

Palmeira's sheltered harbor sits at the heart of the Cape Verde islands, and Seas the Day (Cabo Verde) uses this strategic base to unlock week-long cruising across a pristine archipelago. As a 2015 Leopard 48, this four-cabin catamaran carries 11 guests across reliable trade wind routes, from the volcanic peaks of Maio to the remote atolls eastward. Each cabin pairs with its own bathroom, eliminating the morning queue that defines many group holidays. The saloon and cockpit flow seamlessly across the bridge deck, while the broad trampolines and foredeck offer sun lounging and anchor watch perches that feel genuinely separate from the cabins below. The twin hulls deliver what monohulls cannot: rock-solid stability at anchor even in exposed roadsteads, and a shallow 1.2-meter draft that opens bays and beaches inaccessible to deeper-keeled boats. This draught advantage matters here, where the best anchorages often sit in sand flats between reefs. Four meters of beam in each hull creates genuine cabin widths and headroom, not the narrow coffins of older designs. The result is a boat where eight or eleven people can coexist without friction during downtime. From Palmeira, the sailing ranges from day hops between nearby islands to longer coastal passages with regular wind. Whether your week focuses on snorkeling, island villages, or the challenge of open-water days, Seas the Day (Cabo Verde) provides the platform and the comfort to make it real.
