Your Itinerary

Ria Formosa Natural Park

Enjoy the pleasure of sailing in a magnificent place. Visit the Ria Formosa salt marsh in the Algarve in Portugal, covering an area of about 18,400 hectares along 60 kilometers from the river Ancão to the beach of Manta Rota. In 1978, it was established as a nature reserve and at the end of 1987, it became a natural park. Most of its area corresponds to the lagoon system of the Ria Formosa, composed of islands and sandy peninsulas arranged parallel to the coast, protecting a lagoon.  At the park, discover the natural habitat of several rare species such as the common cayman, the flamingo and the round-winged eagle. Another inhabitant of the park, almost extinct in Europe, is the chameleon. Go deep inside this ecosystem, while enjoying the pleasure of sailing. If you like, the skipper will teach and mentor you on how to perform some of the sailing tasks, so you can feel like part of the crew. Choose your itinerary, and if you would like to, stop at some of the barrier islands.

Thank you Paolo for an exiting first sailing experience! We had a a lot of fun and we enjoyed the sailing lesson and all the information you shared with us. We decided to book this tour because we did not want to be on a crowded boat and we can definitely recommend to book this trip!

Was a great experience with Paulo. We got our first sailing lessons 👌🏻 we were only 2 persons - so it was very individual and personal experience. Nice boat and Paulo was very friendly.

Zsolt_Z

Our instructor Paulo was very professional and friendly. He explained the basics of sailing and let us handle the boat also and happily answered any questions we had. Everything went very smooth, from the meeting in the marina until he dropped us off. This is a perfect trip if you want to get away from the crowds, want to learn something about sailing and want to enjoy the beauties of Ria Formosa. Highly recommended.

Paulo hosted our party of 4 aboard his sailboat. He met us on shore after giving very precise directions on parking and the meeting area on the marina. From start to finish, Paulo was friendly, helpful, and interesting to chat to. We had a blast sailing at a leisurely pace. He didn't shy away from any questions and gave us a wonderful experience sailing in the Ria Formosa.

Nous avons passé un merveilleux moment sur le voilier de Paulo ! Nous avons pu faire notre première experience de navigation. Paulo donne des explications très détaillées et est très patient. C'était une aventure agréable et humainement riche. Nous nous sommes toujours sentis en sécurité et parfaitement encadrés. Merci beaucoup Paulo pour ce bel après-midi !

Nous avons passé un excellent moment avec Paulo qui nous a accueilli chaleureusement sur son bateau et qui nous a enseigné quelques notions de navigation, tout en nous faisant découvrir la côte. Découverte active, sportive et participative, c'est sûrement notre meilleure activité de ce long week-end. Notre ado a beaucoup apprécié ses responsabilités. Nous recommandons chaudement Stéphane, Clément et Caroline

Pablo_N

Fue una experiencia estupenda. Paulo fue muy buen patrón de principio a fin. ¡¡Volveremos a navegar con él en el futuro!!

Men Sohn und ich haben den Segeltörn sehr genossen, nachdem wir den Ankerplatz verlassen hatten durften wir nach kurzer Einweisung auch sofort ans Ruder. Trotz des feuchten Wetters hat es viel Spaß gemacht. Es ist eine komplett andere Erfahrung, als ein Motorboot zu steuern und man fühlt sich sehr viel verbundener zur Natur. Unser Kapitän Paolo hat uns auf sehr gutem Englisch alles erklärt und viel Hintergrundinfos gegeben. Es war ein spannender und sehr cooles Erlebnis. Von Anfang bis Ende. Die 4 Stunden gingen so schnell vorbei. Wir wollen es gerne nochmal wiederholen.
