      Perfect

      Lisa_B, Jul 2026
      It was simply a fantastic day! We were looked after from start to finish. The boat was great and everything had been thought of to make the day relaxing and memorable. The swimming spot was perfect and everyone enjoyed snorkelling and padel boarding in such a quiet location. Then lunch …….the food was delicious and nothing was too much trouble. An absolute must when in Ponta Delgada - thank you for looking after us and for the photos too.

      What a fabulous time we had! They let Jack take the wheel! The dolphins were plentiful and playful jumping out of the water. The weather was great and the views of the island were beautiful idealic. Ramona made sure we have plenty to eat and drink! Don’t miss this experience.

      Spectacular Sail on the High Seas

      David_M, Sep 2024
      Captain Vasco and Ramona treated us to a great sailing day. Vasco let us take the wheel and Ramona shared great stories about the island. A beautiful and spotless Dufour 38. The day was a spectacular treat.

      Owners were knowledgeable and helpful. Got some decent wind, so had some fun sailing for this old salt. Then managed to track a school of porpoises. So all in all, a great day.
