About this experience
"Venture" into dusk on a Classic boat cruise through the beautiful Ria Formosa, as you relax and become one with nature and wildlife of this amazing Paradise. The emphasis of this experience is to enjoy and take your mind off things. Drinks and typical Portuguese TAPAS are served onboard, as we glide quietly into the Sunset, that magical and unhurried moment, when it seems that nature and time itself slow down as our King Star says goodbye to us and inevitably dives into the horizon, displaying dazzling colours, sensations of tranquillity and unforgettable pleasure. Sunset our emblem and inspiration, the philosophy that drove our project, the desire to offer pleasant and unforgettable experiences in your own time, without rush or extremes, at your own pace. Exercise your senses, sip your drink, taste the fruits of the ocean (oysters and others) listen to the sound of pure nature, the birds, the waves, or, the right musical note of your choice for that unique moment in a magical place.
