About this experience
Visiting the Ria Formosa lagoon on a small sailboat allows you to get close to the islands and see the birds up close, because we don't make any noise. Our catamaran allows us to stop wherever we want and reach places that other boats cannot reach. In addition to visiting the Ria Formosa, we do sports on a sailing boat with an experienced skipper. Adrenaline, pleasure and beauty of the landscape.
