We’ll return to the harbour by 2:30 PM. Sailing with the sail up depends on favourable weather conditions. And while hoisting the sail adds a wonderful touch to our adventure, we do not offer experiences centered around active or diagonal sailing, nor tagging, we just love to be relaxed on the water. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. It's worth to mention that no one has ever experienced seasickness on board, a fact we consider to be a great compliment.
