Mid Atlantic Yacht Services

Year after year we continue to receive numerous positive recommendations for Duncan Sweet and his team at Mid Atlantic Yacht Services, who have been assisting the transient yachting community in Horta, since 1992.

Importantly during COVID times, prior berthing and arrival formalities can be arranged as entry protocols & quarantine may vary. All shoreside logistics, support & provisioning for visiting owners and guests plus crew changes, transfers and time off ashore can be organized.

Upon arrival, customs, immigration and port clearances are completed quickly & efficiently. Many Superyachts stop to refuel in Horta, and Duncan will provide an advance bunker quotation, complete all formalities and personally supervise all details of fueling. 

The Azores are one of the best unrecognised cruising grounds in Europe and Mid Atlantic Y.S. is very adept at helping pre-plan all aspects of a trip with guests, in these true gems of the Atlantic.  

Their well stocked chandlery can provide Reeds Almanacs, Imray Charts and Pilots, Shell lubricants, Racor filters, engine and deck spares, as well as comprehensive local knowledge for anything else needed on or off the yacht.

Mid Atlantic Yacht Services are also a Raymarine Service Centre offering service and repair of electronics as well as diesel engines and generators, rigging repairs and fabrication. 

As Captains have told us over the past couple of years:

• “Every time we come through the Azores, we use Mid Atlantic Yacht Services, Duncan is excellent to work with and able to meet all of our requirements to make our stopover trouble free” 
• “This is my 6th time using Mid Atlantic Yacht Services. Duncan is totally reliable, and always there to help you with anything you need” 
• “We work with Duncan every time we come through Horta… and literally couldn’t ask for more. He’s a really superb contact, who really goes that ‘extra mile’ to help.”

Use their postal address for parcels & packages for Yachts - they will hold Mail for a yachts arrival. 

For Island Tours, ask Duncan and his team for the recommended sightseeing tours of Horta, or organise a Taxi through them.
