Cruising, fishing, snorkelling & BBQ on the beach

A day at sea that couldn’t be more beautiful! Enjoy Boa Vista’s most popular boat tour – exclusively in a small group on our comfortable yacht „Simply No Stress“. Experience the sea in an active & relaxed way: Fishing with locals, snorkelling on the reef, BBQ on the beach and cold drinks all day long included!

Your day at sea

We start in the morning with a transfer to the harbour of Sal Rei, where you transfer to the yacht by rubber dinghy. From there, our yacht will take you out to sea. Our motor yacht „Simply No Stress“ offers a favourite spot for everyone:

on the front deck in the first row with a panoramic view
on the after deck: shady, cosy, with upholstered benches & table (smoking area)
on the flybridge with sun & shade areas and a cosy sun deck
toilet on board

Fishing stop - catch your own BBQ!

The first highlight of the day: fishing in the Atlantic. We drop anchor and fish together with our local guides. Those who want to can go fishing – everyone else can relax on deck. Don’t worry: we usually catch enough fish for everyone.

Cruising through the bay & snorkelling on the reef

After fishing, we set off on a leisurely cruise through the beautiful bay of Chaves. Enjoy the fantastic view of the coast with a cool drink. We drop anchor again on a sheltered reef in front of the small, uninhabited island of „Djeu“. Those who wish can now explore the underwater world here – of course we have snorkelling equipment on board. If you don’t want to snorkel, you can be transferred to the island or relax on the boat.

Barbecuing & chilling on the island

The highlight of the tour: barbecue & chill out on the small island of „Djeu“ – we spend around 2 hours here – you have plenty of time for

a walk to the old fort
relaxation on the quiet, safe beach (no waves, no current
BBQ with freshly caught fish (meat also available on request) with salad, rice & bread
Included all day: Coke, Fanta, Sprite, water, beer, white wine & red wine

What about payment?

To guarantee your reservation, a deposit of 15 euros per person and tour is required. This can be done online via PayPal or credit card. If you do not have either of these payment options, please contact us via WhatsApp or email. The balance can either be paid in cash on the day of the tour or online before the tour via PayPal or credit card.

What is the cancellation policy?

You can cancel your tour(s) at any time up to 24 hours before the start of the tour without giving a reason. You can easily do this online by logging in to our website. For cancellations up to 12 hours before the start of the tour, a cancellation fee of 50% will be charged. This fee is waived if we are able to resell the seats. Cancellations made less than 12 hours before the tour will incur a 100% cancellation fee – less the cost of any included services such as food or drinks.

What happens to my payment if I cancel a tour?

We will of course refund any payments already made (minus any cancellation fees). The refund will be made in the same way as you made the payment (i.e. by PayPal, credit card or bank transfer).

What should I bear in mind on the boat trips?

In principle, you should be seaworthy for the boat tours. If you are not sure, it is best to take a travel tablet against seasickness before the tour. We also have tablets on board the yacht. The wind can often be fresher at sea than on land. It is therefore advisable to take a jacket or jumper with you. There are days when we have to cancel excursions due to the conditions at sea (very strong winds and/or waves that are too high). Sometimes this can happen at very short notice, as the weather forecasts are not always reliable and we can only make decisions based on the actual conditions. For this reason, we ask you to always check whether you have received a message from us by e-mail or WhatsApp before your boat trip.

Are the tours guided in English?

Yes, the trips are all guided in English.

What do I wear - what do I need to bring?

We have a list of clothing recommendations for all tour descriptions. With each tour description you will also find a list of things you should bring with you.
