The trip was a full-day tour with the whole family and pendants. We were fantasticly welcomed from the start and have a magical day, even for those who have not been on the water in a large sailing boat before. Our hosts Sebastian and Rune were absolutely fantastic. Very competent and not least super pleasant to be with. They provided delicious lunch, snacks and one on the experience with snorkeling where they swam around a sea turtle and saw lots of beautiful fish. Can definitely be recommended!

Best day sailing with Lucy! Captain Lucas and sailor Daniel really made our day. They took care of us the whole day providing a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Really calm and enjoyable day at the sea sailing alonside with dolphins. Higly recommending spending a day sailing with Lucy and this crew.

Just awesome... Review of: Private full day sailing trip. An unforgettable experience. Lucas and team are exceptional hosts and just do much fun to hang out with. Seeing the incredible array of sea life up close from this beautiful Catamaran, while enjoying 5 star service. Turtles, Whales, Dolphin... This is the stuff of dreams and isn’t meant to happen in reality. And made all the better by the attentive and highly knowledgeable crew. An absolute must do while in Sal. Thank U so much Lucas and team. Until next year!

Got (Covid) ‘stranded’ en familie on Sal Island, Cape Verde for 3 months, having gone there for just a week’s holiday pre Christmas. An amazing experience, and the highlight definitely our wonderful sailing trips with Lucas and team. This is the best possible way to spend a day when visiting Sal - and the only economic way to visit some of the other beautiful Islands in this Archipelago. An incredible experience and the exceptional hospitality aboard these beautiful Catamarans. Big thx to you Lucas (and to Mike!) We’ll be back for sure and simply can’t wait to head out again with you to see the truly mesmerising Whales up close; also the Dolphin and other sea life. Keep well my friend and see you soon! Best, Tim
