Description

Your morning begins with a transfer from your accommodation to Sal Rei port, where you'll board the motor yacht via dinghy.

The first stop is for bottom fishing, which lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours. Fishing is optional — non-fishers can relax on the sun deck, enjoy the views, or read while others fish.

After fishing, the boat cruises around Bay of Chaves with drinks available onboard for you to enjoy while relaxing.

The next stop is near a small uninhabited island, where you can snorkel around the reef and explore underwater life.

The dinghy then takes you ashore to visit the old renovated fort. You can swim in the calm waters and relax on the beach while the crew prepares a BBQ. The meal includes freshly caught fish or chicken (preferences confirmed in advance), with rice, salad, and bread served.

After approximately two hours on the island, you return to the boat for the cruise back to the port. Throughout the day, cold drinks such as Coca Cola, Sprite Zero, Fanta, water, beer, white and red wine are available.

At the harbour, the transfer service will bring you back to your accommodation.
