Step aboard the Gageiro, one of the last traditional wooden boats in the Algarve that still truly sails under wind power. At sunset, far from the crowds, enjoy a peaceful, exclusive atmosphere as you glide along scenic coastal views. When the wind allows, you'll sail for real while tasting regional Algarve tapas and four wines – including the Gageiro's own. It's an adults‑only experience, that ensures a calm, premium and unforgettable evening at sea.

Really great time food was lovely and they was very helpful ????????????

The staff were friendly, kind, welcoming, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. They made the trip fun and a pleasure. The sunset was amazing I would recommend this trip.

Lovely brother and sister took us out along the coast and back over 4 hours. Nice cruise around the rock formations west from Portimão before setting anchor in a sheltered estuary for swimming and lovely tapas. There was three of us and there was so much food we didn’t finish it all. Plenty of wine, beer and soft drinks. As not the greatest sailers we were a little worried about motion sickness but whilst there were waves the wind was light. We took motion sickness tablets which worked a treat

Although it was windy and we got splashed a lot , the team could not be more attentive, the whole experience was worth the time, the food was lovely and the views, sunset, coves, the full moon was spectacular!, a trip to behold!

The experience was amazing and perfect for my sister’s birthday. They all really took care of my 7 year nephew and made sure he was ok the whole time from pick up to drop off. The tapas was great alongside the chance to swim while exploring the sea, everyone on board made the experience amazing, funny and safe.
