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
- A quick stop for swimming or snorkeling at the end (equipment provided), location depending on conditions
- Light snacks and drinks on board (note: not a full meal)
- A friendly, local crew and chill atmosphere
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.

My wife and our friend were unable to go because we.were not aware that the trip included a dingy transfer from the beach to the catamaran. When my husband booked the trip he mentioned that some of the party had walking sticks. Obviously my wife and her friend were not able to safely transfer in a dinghy as there was no life jackets to fit either bigger than a large size This was very annoying and a waste of money, Which I hope that you will refund the two persons who couldn't go on the trip. I myself sustained a cut leg during transfer from catamaran to the dingy. I have had to visit the pharmacy to get some dressings to cover and protect the two cuts.

The pickup went very well. Friendly and well-positioned staff. Pleasant atmosphere on the catamaran. Unfortunately we could not snorkel as it had too many waves. But another tour group was allowed to do so under the same conditions.

Cozy but there was no snorkeling trip or beach trip to speak of. The place to snorkel was not so carefully chosen and not so much fish. Only 5-10 min in the water. They were very service friendly but there was no Swedish guide nor German. Was a crew member who spoke English but only spoke French does not think it appeared. But nice catamaran.

This was such a great day - though it was a bit windy and some people got a little bit sea sick, it was still such a great vibe as it was really sunny. Crew members made everyone feels so welcome and comfortable and we were lucky enough that we got to see some dolphins and flying fishes.

Great half day on the Atlantic. Made even better by interaction with crew, Delvin, Daniel and David. Great fun and other participants were up for a laugh too.
