About this experience
Spend an unforgettable day at sea aboard one of our spacious catamarans as you explore the stunning southwest coast of Sal Island. This full-day sailing cruise offers the perfect mix of ocean adventure, relaxation, and Cape Verdean hospitality.
Group sizes are kept comfortable to give everyone space to relax and enjoy. After departing from Santa Maria, we sail along the coast and drop anchor wherever conditions allow — either along the west coast or in Santa Maria Bay — where you'll have time to swim or snorkel in calm, turquoise waters.
On board, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch, light snacks, and an open bar with wine, beer, soft drinks, juices, and water. Soft music and our warm, local crew create a laid-back and welcoming atmosphere.
This is not a party cruise — it’s all about peaceful sailing, beautiful views, and creating memories at sea.
