What you can expect

We start from the Grupo Naval de Olhao (GNO) where the boat is stationed. After a short briefing and hand out of necessary items (wetsuits if needed, sailing shoes/gloves, life-jackets).
The catamaran is put into the water and we sail out of the marina to explore the Ria Formosa.
Depending on the wind and tide conditions we sail towards the islands of Culatra or Armona. We can observe birds on the shores at a close range as our boat doesn't make any motor noise.
Then we stop either at a beach or a bar/restaurant for a break and to enjoy the local sceneries.
The return to Olhao / GNO is by sail again.
Total duration of the experience should be between 2 and 3 hours, to be agreed upon before departure.
