Very nice sailing and nature excursion

chris_h, May 2024

Very enjoyable sailing outing. Ricardo is an expert sailor and explained a great deal about sailing and the beautiful and completely unspoiled and complex Ria Formosa marine area. The boat is comfortable and very safe.

Relaxing sailing trip on a 12m boat with small group - only positives

Jonathan_V, Aug 2023

Once we left the harbor, we had a soft breeze which allowed us to put the sails up. It was a smoot, relaxing trip on a 12m sail boat. Mainwhile, the captain provided us with some facts about Rio Formosa and the surrounding villages with their culutures. After about 3 hours of sailing, we docked at a beach for dive in the water. In general a relaxing and fun, new way to explore the Rio Formosa in a small group (10p).

Ein Muß wenn man in der Gegend von Faro ist!

Wundervoller Segeltörn mit vielen Informationen von unserem tollen Skipper! Erst sind wir eine Weile aufs Meer hinaus gesegelt um dann später für ca. eine Stunde an einem tollen Strand anzulegen! Wir haben den Ausflug sehr genossen!
