There's a good marina at Ponta Delgada, San Miguel. Most of the
Atlantic-crossers seem to hang out there.

I might be making the Halifax - Azores crossing myself next year. I've
only ever been to Ponta Delgado (on San Miguel) and that was fine,
efficient, clean, cheap.
But Horta is nearer and if you've been stuck in the windless Azores High
and are getting short of diesel, it might seem a good place to stop.
It's a well tried, regular stopping place and I've never heard
complaints.
