Sal Island all-inclusive adults-only catamaran cruise

4.7/5
435 reviews

The Sal coastline is a perfect backdrop for a cruise – and this adults-only catamaran trip makes the very best use of it. Sailing leisurely through the azure seas between Palmeira and Monte Leão, you'll sunbathe, sip on cocktails and enjoy a stop for swimming too. Maria, one of our expert local guides, says, "the crew on board really make this experience stand out. Super professional yet always ready for fun, and talented at creating a stylish, celebratory and relaxed atmosphere for the cruise."

Your day of relaxation kicks off with pick-up from your hotel and transfer to Palmeira, where you'll hop aboard a brand-new catamaran. Setting sail, you'll soon be watching the coastline glide by as your captain cruises along the island's west coast. All you need to do is pick the perfect spot to sit back and soak up some rays – and choose which drink you'd like first. The friendly and knowledgeable crew will be on hand to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the journey.

Sounds like ultimate relaxation, right? On board, you'll be spoilt for choice with complimentary drinks and snacks, with local music to really get you in the holiday mood. As we approach our idyllic location near Monte Leão, your skipper will anchor the boat, allowing you to take a swim in open waters. After we've dropped anchor, you can also lounge on the nets above the shimmering water – the ideal place to bask in the warm Cape Verde sun.

    Excellent activity led by Alina and Cat Maurice with a great team. They were knowledgeable and professional but fun. Safety was a priority. Loved the pool off the back for less confident swimmers.

    The trip was good, the staff on the catamaran and the Tui rep were excellent. Full marks from r the wonderful, joyful dancing! Our only criticism was the length of the journey ti and from the port because she if the vast number of pick ups. Smaller, more direct transport would have been good.

    Whole afternoon was brilliant. The guide Elina was lovely and kept us informed from pick up to drop off. I'm not great with water but the guides helped us onto and off the boats so easily to get to the catamaran further out in the harbour. Once on board the catamaran the crew were great and created a proper party atmosphere, especially on the way back. Top marks......would highly recommend.

    The staff were excellent. The catamaran clean. Food and drink excellent. Our idea of going on the catamaran was to soak up the sun while watching lovely scenery. There were at least 50 people on our boat and only half of them were able to sit in the sun. First on the boat got to sit outside. The rest of us were under cover for the whole trip. We might as well have been on a ferry. So basically we paid £60 each for a few drinks and sandwiches and a look at the sea under cover. Not happy!
