On the west coast of the island there is now a small port, Vale de Cavaleiros. It lies north of Sao Filipe. With permission, it might be possible to berth or anchor here but there is very little room and yachts are not particularly welcome.
Security: This harbour is not considered particularly safe and in 2014 robbery was still an issue.
There is also an anchorage south of the port in 4m of water, over sand, but the holding is not too good and it is wise to leave someone on board when going ashore.
Be aware that between June and November the wind may swing round to the south without warning and even local boats move out of the harbour to avoid being trapped.
