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.

Very 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 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

Great 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!

A 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!

Very expensive for what it is: a round trip to the coast with a snack consisting of 3 peanuts and really not great drinks! The cake still arrives at the end but considering the price of the presta it would have deserved a little more! We only saw flying fish. Snorkelling is on arrival, we could go from the beach and all to see nothing! We could at least have made more snorkeling stops, the ocean not being agitated to specify! We talk about 4 hours of activity but the transfer with the tour of all the hotels is included! On the other hand, we can only emphasize the kindness of the guide and the onboard staff. I will describe this activity as a tourist catch!

A very great and successful trip! Everything worked great and uncomplicated, from the booking to the handling in advance to the hotel pickup. On the boat itself, things continued just as positively: The crew was top and very concerned for the well-being of the guests. Our captain Devel (I hope the name is spelled correctly – otherwise sorry 😉) was looking for a lot of personal contact and was always up for a laugh. The atmosphere on board was very pleasant, and you felt in good hands at all times. The highlight of course was the sighting of the dolphins, which can never be guaranteed. All the more you noticed that the crew really tried hard – and fortunately it worked out for us. A spectacular experience! We can absolutely recommend this tour because everything went very professionally from start to finish 😊 Very happy again – you have given us an unforgettable morning!

Excellent trip. Crew were lovely, friendly and helpful. Kept us safe at all times. We're on the lookout for sealife and took us to a pod of dolphins.... which was amazing. Definitely recommend this trip.
