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!
Tour itinerary
The day begins with a transfer to the port of Sal Rei, where you will board the yacht via dinghy. From there, our yacht will take you out to the open sea.
Our motor yacht ‘Simply No Stress’ offers everyone their favourite spot:
on the front deck in the front row with a panoramic view | on the aft deck: shady, cosy, with upholstered benches & table (smoking area) | on the flybridge with sun & shade spots and a cosy sun deck
The first highlight of the day: fishing in the Atlantic. We drop anchor and fish together with our local guides. Those who wish to can try their hand at fishing – everyone else can relax on deck. Don’t worry: we usually catch enough fish for everyone.
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 at a protected reef off the small, uninhabited island of ‘Djeu’. Those who wish can now explore the underwater world – we have snorkelling equipment on board, of course. Those who don’t want to snorkel can be taken over to the island or relax on the boat.
The highlight of the tour: barbecuing and chilling on the island – we will spend around 2 hours here.
How about a walk to the old fort?
Relax on the quiet, safe beach – no waves, no currents – also ideal for children of all ages.
Meanwhile, fresh fish will be barbecued for you (meat is also available on request). We will provide salad, rice and bread as side dishes.
Included throughout the day: Coke, Fanta, Sprite, water, beer, white wine and red wine – all well chilled.
Now it’s time for the return trip to the harbour (approx. 25 minutes) where your taxi will be waiting to take you to your hotel.

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.

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?

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.
