Two departures per day: 10:00 AM and 2:30 PM.

Cocktails, mocktails, snacks, and a curated selection of premium drinks are available for purchase throughout the day. Our professional crew ensures a safe, relaxing, and memorable experience for up to 21 passengers. Up to 12 guests are hosted with a two-member crew on board; from 12 passengers onward, a third crew member will join to guarantee premium service and safety standards.

Timeline: how the party goes

  1. HALF-DAY sailing tour

    We’ll meet at the pier 15 minutes before departure for boarding and a quick safety briefing, so we can leave on time.

    Once we exit the harbor, we’ll set the sails and embrace the freedom of sailing—powered only by the wind. We’ll cruise around the coast of Vila Franca do Campo, including the islet, for about an hour before anchoring in a beautiful bay.

    There, you can enjoy snacks and bar service aboard. Take a swim, enjoy snorkeling, relax on the trampoline, listen to music, or unwind with the sounds of nature. It’s your choice.

    About an hour before the end of the trip, we’ll begin a relaxed sail back to the harbor. Keep an eye on the horizon—nature often surprises us with unexpected wildlife sightings!
