About this experience

Duration: 7 Hours
Price: from €960 / private boat

Give your family, friends or work colleagues an incredible day on board. Venture out on this sailing experience along the main coastal areas of the Arrábida Natural Park!

  • Experience sailing on board a traditional 1943 vessel recognised as national maritime heritage of the Setúbal region, with a capacity of up to 34 passengers.
  • Discover a unique perspective of the Arrábida Natural Park seen from the sea and its magnificent cliffs from Sesimbra to the bay of the famous Serra da Arrábida beaches.
  • Discover incredible spots in the region such as Praia do Ribeiro do Cavalo, Portinho da Arrábida, Praia de Galapinhos and other wild beaches and enchanting bays.
  • Be captivated by the stunning landscapes of this little paradise in our country and take the chance to swim in these crystal-clear waters.
  • Make the most of the longer stops to enjoy the SUP board, snorkelling masks and floats at your leisure.
  • Enjoy a meal on board by booking our catering service in advance or bringing your own picnic.

Disclaimer between 15 August and 30 September: after sunset we end the sailing, but the event on board continues in the comfort of the sheltered harbour or Sesimbra Bay.

Highlights

  • Wonderful scenery: discover the Arrábida Natural Park seen from the sea!
  • Long stops for swimming or meals.
  • Spacious boat with WC and interior cabins to store belongings.

Included

  • Crew, fuel, insurance and permits for navigation and the boarding and disembarking of passengers;
  • Aperitif: The crew always offers an aperitif during the trip, usually a bottle of regional wine accompanied by fruit and a savoury snack.
  • You will have at your disposal a stand-up paddle board, snorkelling masks and several floats to enjoy the stop time, if the sea conditions assessed by the captain allow.

Recommendations

  • We recommend you bring clothing suitable for the day’s weather conditions. A sun hat and a warm jacket are advisable on any day. A swimming costume and a towel are essential if you intend to swim.
  • Don’t forget to bring sun cream and a bottle of water as well.
  • Sea conditions off the Arrábida coast are usually quite calm, but depending on the forecast there may be some swell, so if you are prone to seasickness we advise you to take appropriate medication.
  • Arrive at the boarding pier 10 minutes in advance and let the crew know you have arrived to speed up boarding.
  • Complement your experience with meals on board, photo sessions or another activity. Ask us how!
