An amazing experience on a beautiful Sunday, with an awesome group (the crew) There were just a few of us so it was easy to meet new friends too. You can enjoy the ride of the Atlantic waves and also help out on certain tasks if you wish, just let them know!
Aude was super responsive and friendly from the start, helping answer all the questions I had on a first saling trip. It was very reassuring. In addition to the life jackets, I felt safe on the trip with a very experienced skipper/captain André.
Very personable and approachable, André was also very considerate and attentive to how everyone was feeling onboard, appreciating the different level of experiences. A bonus, he also let us know when good picture moments were coming up - like the lighthouse!
Finally, Leça de Palmeira is where you depart to upgrade from river to ocean, an exciting and different level to the more popular boat tours downstream (which are lovely also). Here it's you vs the ocean 😃⛵There are also many restaurants and sights to visit in the area and Matasinhos to make a full day trip together with the sailing, which is what I did! Look forward to joining again next time!
