AZOReS
If you are arriving in Ponta Delgada and we are fishing out of there we recommend you book a hotel or look for a Airbnb. If you are arriving in Horta there are a few options you can jump on hotels.com and there are some options, come August and September it is the high season so I recommend booking early. I also know of a bed & breakfast down the road a little ways if you are interested I can check availability.
(Below I have listed hotel links to places I recommend)

TRAVEL PLANS
From the United States, you can get a domestic flight from your city (United, Delta, American, etc)To Newark Airport (EWR)
From EWR you can find a direct flight to Ponta Delgada taking a United airline flight.
If there are no flights available from EWR direct you need to take a TAP Air Portugal flight from EWR -> LIS -> PDL
When you get to PDL I will have a taxi organized to pick you up.
If you happen to be in the later months end of August or September you will take an island hopper plane from PDL -> HOR Horta you will use Azores Airlines.
WHAT TO BRING
To ensure you have the best experience on the water, here’s a checklist of essential items to bring on board.
Extra Cash – You are in a foreign country, and it’s always good to have cash on hand for unexpected expenses. You can exchange money at the airport (Euros) or withdraw local currency in town.
220-Volt Phone Charger Box – Make sure your devices stay charged with the correct adapter.
Rain Gear – A waterproof jacket and bibs (if preferred) for unexpected weather.
Pair of Pants – Comfortable and weather-appropriate.
Sweat Jacket – For cooler mornings and evenings on the water.
Sunscreen – High SPF, water-resistant sunscreen to protect against sun exposure.
Polarized Sunglasses – Reduces glare and improves visibility on the water.
