Generating Memories since 1982

With different kinds of activities, we are proud to say that we are generating great memories for almost 40 years.

In the beginning we were one of the first companies in the Algarve doing these cruises along the coastline. Teaching people how to sail. Our love for the ocean was what kept operating until today! It was always a passion of ours the activity of sailing which allows a direct contact with nature, feeling the breeze, enjoying the sound of the waves through the boat. There is nothing like the feeling of peace while our mind flows with the sound of the sea.

Our CEO started the business with a small Yacht after winning some national championships in different classes of sailing boats. At first we were only able to have small groups who wanted to learn and feel exactly what sailing is about. A few years later, our CEO became a boat builder, and the company started to grow. We built a Catamaran with a larger capacity, 2 Sailing Yachts and now we also have a Power Boat specially made for dolphin search. Our motivation remains the same, to provide our guests a perfect day at the sea, while comfortably enjoying the rocky landscape and the unique beaches Algarve has to offer.

Some of our latest reviews

Our main goal is to generate great memories to our guest, providing the best day of their holidays aboard our boats.

Our experienced skippers and crew will give you detailed information about important places along the coastline, from Albufeira to Benagil/Carvoeiro area, while you peacefully enjoy the sound of the sea and the view.

We have 3 boats available with plenty of options in each one of them:
