Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring?
Essentials: sunscreen (SPF 30+), sunglasses, hat, comfortable clothing (layers recommended), non-slip shoes (no heels), camera or phone for photos. Optional: light jacket (it can be breezy on the water), swimwear for swimming stops. We provide: life jackets (all sizes), safety equipment, Portuguese wine/soft drinks, snacks, towels, and bathroom facilities. For fishing tours, all equipment is included.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Your safety is our top priority. We monitor weather conditions closely and will contact you 24 hours before departure if conditions are questionable. If we need to cancel due to high winds, storms, or rough seas, you'll receive a full refund or can reschedule to any available date at no charge. Light rain doesn't typically prevent sailing. We provide rain gear if needed and have covered areas on our boats.
Are children and families welcome?
Absolutely! We welcome families and have hosted children from infants to teenagers. We provide child-sized life jackets, our crew is experienced with young passengers, and we can adjust the itinerary for family comfort (shorter duration, calmer waters, swimming breaks). Children under 3 sail free. We recommend our morning or afternoon tours for families rather than sunset cruises.
What about food and drinks?
All tours include complimentary Portuguese wine and soft drinks, plus light snacks. You're welcome to bring additional non-alcoholic beverages and food at no charge. For alcoholic beverages beyond what we provide, there's a β¬15 per person corkage fee. Special occasions? We partner with local caterers to provide customized catering packages including cheese platters, seafood, birthday cakes, and champagne. Contact us when booking to arrange catering.
