    A fantastic experience. Catarina conveys her passion for the sea with fascinating explanations about the local wildlife, always with immense respect for the animals. The skipper was very professional and careful, bringing us close enough to observe them without interfering with their behavior. We also sailed alongside the Arrábida cliffs while learning how they were formed. It's clear that the entire team loves and cares for this environment.
