• 5Very enjoyable

  We wanted to try something different to a catamaran and this was perfect. I booked through trip advisor which was simple. WhatsApp was used to confirm collection. The 2 lads that took us out were great i'm sorry I cant remember your names. They were extremely friendly and obviously love sailing. There was plenty of wine, beer and soft drinks available. The trip was excellent value for money. Half day was good but could of easily sailed for longer. We managed to get some speed up and see flying fish. We all including my 14 year old son really enjoyed it.

• 5Fantastic trip - with wonderful crew :)

  We had a fabulous afternoon on the lovely catamaran in the warm breeze and sunshine. setting off from Bikini Beach. The crew were fantastic and a big shout out to Joseph, (Captain), Wesley and Daniel who were expert at making the experience feel safe and exciting. And the real delight was spotting a hump back whale, a group of pilot whales and dolphins. The crew are responsive to the opportunities that present, and were funny and engaging. It was great to see the island from the ocean and admire its natural beauty. Good value for money. Carole and Amari from London

  Nice boat, professional and funny staff. We did see a couple of flying fish. Offered drinks and snacks and a chance to swim or snorkeling.

  It was amazing! If you have never sailed before, it is choppy. And not for someone with mobility problems. I really enjoyed it. The guys were amazing 🛥️

• 5Fantastic sailing experience

  Whilst we have done numerous sailing trips on catamarans they are fun trips but lack the raw sailing experience of a single hull vessel. Captain and deck hand were great taking us out and keeping us safe. The waters are a bit choppy so if you haven’t done this before I would recommend travel sickness tablets as my daughter felt a little ill partway through. There were plenty of drinks if required but we only had a couple as we just loved the personal experience of sailing on a 42 ft proper sailing yacht. We had a 2 hour trip round the tip of the island and back before anchoring for a quick dip and some pastry snacks. This was as all about the sailing experience and delivered in spades. My only regret was I wasn’t carrying cash for tips as I did t have any as staying all inclusive and locked the wallet away with the passports. Top tips . Bring travel sickness tablets and cash. Totally recommend.

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.
