We wanted to be out on the water but not in a crowded ferry type noisy boat, and we were not disappointed. The yacht was beautiful especially when we were in the right place to put up the sails. The captain Ricardo was super nice and a great teacher, he let everyone have a go at steering from the helm. There were 6 of us total. We stopped after a while and drifted with the sea which was relaxing and so peaceful with just the sound of the birds, wind and sea. We stopped for 45 mins on the beach and some went swimming. We wished we could have seen some mammal wildlife such as dolphins and different birds but not this trip. we had a good time. If you truly like to SAIL then this is the tour for you.
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.
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).
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!
Increíble experiencia...muy recomendable el paseo con Ricardo como capitán!! Muy amable y dispuesto a hacernos disfrutar en todo momento!!
