Cape Verde - Weathered Fishing Boat - Travel Print
Filling the frame is the weathered bow of a fishing boat named Jesus, its paintwork of blue, white and red stars bleached and flaking from sun and salt. Beyond, pale sand stretches to a calm sea under soft evening light, distant sailing boats anchored offshore.
A characterful piece for lovers of coastal life, old boats and the quiet, sun-worn textures of island shores.

Destination write-up
Here’s the write-up that features on your print.
Scattered across the Atlantic off the coast of Senegal, Cape Verde rises from the ocean as volcanic islands, shaped by wind, salt and centuries of longing. Ten islands of dark stone and pale sand hold within them a restless, seafaring spirit, where morna songs drift through harbour towns.
Wander the cobbled lanes of Mindelo, where painted houses climb the hillside above a bustling harbour, or climb the crater rim of Fogo, where the volcano still smoulders over vineyards grown in black ash. On Santo Antão, wind through terraced valleys threaded by footpaths cut into cliffs. Along Sal and Boa Vista, dunes give way to turquoise shallows, where loggerhead turtles return each year to nest.
Beyond its shores, Cape Verde offers a Creole warmth born of Portuguese and West African roots, felt in the grogue distilled from cane and the cachupa simmered by the sea. Music carries through every gathering, guitar and cavaquinho weaving tales of saudade beneath the stars.
Print size & quality
Every piece is printed on thick, 175gsm fine-art matte paper with archival inks — so the colours stay rich, deep and true for years, with no fading and no fuss. Before it heads your way, it's wrapped in soft tissue to keep it scratch-free and sent out in a sturdy kraft tube or a robust triangular kraft box (never plastic).
Available sizes
Framing options
Fancy it ready to hang? Add a solid pine frame — sturdy, handsome and built to last. Take your pick from black, natural wood, or white. Each one is 20–25mm deep and 10–14mm wide: the sweet spot between strength and understated good looks.
We finish every frame with shatterproof, crystal-clear plexiglass to keep your print pristine — and it arrives already framed, so it goes straight from the box to your wall with no faff.
Framing is available for these sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 20x28, 24x32, 24x36 and 28x40.
