Half-Day Catamaran Cruise – Sail, Relax & Enjoy Cape Verde
Set sail on a relaxing half-day cruise along the southwest coast of Sal Island. Enjoy the breeze, sunshine, and ocean views aboard one of our spacious catamarans - with limited group sizes for a comfortable, personal experience.
Whether you sunbathe, sip a drink, or simply take in the views, this trip is all about slowing down and enjoying life at sea.
Please note: Due to the damaged pier in Santa Maria, boarding takes place from the beach via dinghy. Your feet may get wet.
During the trip, you’ll enjoy:
- Relaxed sailing along Sal’s beautiful coast
- Light snacks and drinks on board (note: not a full meal)
- A friendly, local crew and chill atmosphere
- A quick stop for swimming or snorkeling at the end (equipment provided), location depending on conditions
This is not a party cruise — it’s a calm, joyful experience.
Wildlife sightings are possible, but NOT guaranteed. The focus is on sailing and small-group comfort.

5.00I was suggested the catamaran experience after a bad experience with another local agency. I must say they turned my vacation around. The pick-up was very punctual. The crew members were very kind, playful, but never excessive. They speak several languages perfectly. We managed to see a turtle and some butterfly fish. All of this with soft snacks and some pleasant drinks. The catamaran was also in excellent condition and very clean.

5.00Terrific afternoon out on the catamaran. The 4 man team did a great job looking after everyone and chasing dolphins for us to see..

4.00Pleasant crew. Snacks are limited to pastries at the end of the cruise and some corn nuts with the drinks. The most. We were able to observe the dolphins that accompanied us on our return. It was just magical!
Nice afternoon on the ocean

5.00We had an afternoon at sea. The wind had been quite high all week so we were asked to postpone our original booking for a few days, all communication was very good. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the Bikini Beach Bar behind the Melia hotels. We then had a small boat ride to the catamaran, which was an experience in itself. With the high winds the sailing experience was very good but the snorkelling was a little difficult and took place at the end of the trip just offshore. Getting back on board the catamaran wasn’t easy. During the sail we only saw a few flying fish but the crew said there were two pods of dolphins that they had seen in the morning. The crew were friendly, helpful and informative. We had beer/wine or soft drinks freely available with dishes of mixed nuts and a doughnut at the end of the sail. We felt this was a good trip to break up our week and get out on the water. The weather conditions weren’t ideal for us but we still had a nice afternoon.
Recommend it!!

5.00Very good experience! Catamaran was really stunning and stable! The staff was went above and beyond for us! They always offered drinks and snacks but their priority was our safety! Sadly we didn’t saw any animals only some flying fish but they were really cool. The snorkeling part was good as well, water was cold, but once you in there its really good! Saw many fish while snorkelling! Lovely team and great trip! 10/10
The crew was great

5.00The crew was Mega! Pick-up followed at Bikini beach, then were taken by boat to the catamaran. Snacks and drinks were plentiful and you could easily help yourself at any time. The crew was VERY concerned that you could see dolphins etc. was able to see what actually happened. Later we had another nice selection of pastries. Only recommended
Super successful day despite little wind!

5.00Great catamaran afternoon! What a wonderful afternoon we had on the catamaran. The atmosphere on board was immediately good: cozy, relaxed and with a fun, young and spontaneous crew who really felt like it. There was a bit little wind, but that was absolutely not allowed to spoil the fun. We enjoyed the trip, the view and the fine atmosphere on the water. As icing on the cake we also saw the pilot whales, which made the afternoon completely special. The trip is accompanied by a Dutch guide and that is a real plus. He can tell you anything and makes you feel welcome immediately. So the Dutch: don’t hesitate, just book and come along. Highly recommended!
Amazing catamaran trip

5.00A fantastic catamaran excursion! Super friendly and attentive crew who made sure you never lacked snacks or drinks. You could tell they wanted you to have a good time and at the same time made a big effort to make sure you had a good experience at sea! The trip was topped off fantastically by the crew spotting a huge pod of dolphins that surrounded the boat and followed us for a long time! A trip I can only recommend and would do again without hesitation!
Wonderful time with lovely crew!
