Essential for Respectful Navigation in Portuguese Waters
Sailing into the Azores archipelago demands more than just seamanship—it requires adherence to maritime traditions that honor the host country.

Designed for durability and visibility, this flag ensures compliance with international maritime etiquette while signaling your presence to local authorities and fellow sailors.
Built for Harsh Marine Conditions
Engineered to withstand the challenges of the open sea, this courtesy flag is crafted from high-quality marine-grade fabric, such as sturdy bunting or glossy polyester. These materials resist fading, tearing, and saltwater corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance even in rough weather. Whether you're a long-distance cruiser, a commercial vessel operator, or a fishing boat captain, this flag maintains its integrity through prolonged exposure to wind, sun, and spray.
Designed for Easy Installation and Optimal Visibility
Practicality meets tradition with this flag’s thoughtful design. Equipped with a reinforced loop at the top and a weighted ribbon at the bottom, it attaches effortlessly to your forward mast, under the spreader on the starboard side. The available sizes—ranging from 20x30 cm to 50x75 cm—allow you to select the perfect dimensions for your vessel, ensuring the flag remains clearly visible from a distance. This not only fulfills regulatory requirements but also enhances communication with port authorities and other ships.
