5A great afternoon.
Great experience all the way. Excellent communication from start to finish, very enjoyable trip and we were looked after the entire trip with all kinds of drinks, beer, wine, soft drinks. Had a great sail followed by the opportunity to jump in the sea and snorkel. A great way to spend an afternoon. Thanks guys!
5Great Catamaran Trip
Great trip, so fun and relaxing with really lovely guides always there to offer refreshments and advice! We had an absolute blast, thank you
4Good impromptu trip
Chilled experience with pleasant crew. Got to see a load of dolphins and got quite far out to sea to do so. Nice little boat. A few drinks but not some nasty booze cruise. Good swim stop but should've been earlier.
5Fantastic experience
This was a fantastic trip , right from the start , when we arrived in Cape verde I contacted the tour guide as was concerned about my mother's mobility and getting on and off the boat.However the service and contact was amazing , the crew on the catamaran could not do enough for anyone , my partner was really ill on board and they really looked after him .Would highly recommend the whole experience , we even saw dolphins .
5Dolphins galore
Really good experience, saw a lot of dolphins and a few flying fish. The dolphins were swimming next to the boat and diving up in the air. They also supplied drinks, snorkels and snacks.
5Superb
Was a great half day, we saw flying fish, dolphins and whales! The crew were very accommodating! Couldn’t really fault it

About Santa Maria
Santa Maria, on the southern tip of Sal in Cape Verde, is a beach town of pale sand, steady Atlantic wind and a fishing pier.
Santa Maria occupies the southern tip of Sal, a flat, dry island in the Cape Verde archipelago off the coast of West Africa. Sal means salt in Portuguese, a nod to the salt pans once worked here for export. The sandy streets of Santa Maria, lined with pastel houses, lead down to a long beach and a pier where local fishermen sell their catch.
