Tour Description

Half-Day Sailing & Sightseeing Experience — 2.5 Hours


Step aboard the Nautitech 47, one of the most spacious and comfortable sailing catamarans in the Azores, and enjoy a relaxed coastal sailing experience professionally crewed for your comfort and safety.

Sail around the iconic islet and along the beautiful coastline of Vila Franca do Campo, combining smooth sailing with scenic views of volcanic landscapes and hidden bays. During the experience, and when sea and safety conditions allow, you may anchor near a beach for swimming or to enjoy snorkeling in clear waters, try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), or simply unwind in the yacht’s comfortable lounge areas.

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.
