Cruising, fishing, snorkelling & a BBQ on the beach
A day at sea that couldn’t be any better!
Enjoy Boa Vista’s most popular boat trip – exclusively in a small group on our comfortable yacht, the ‘Simply No Stress’.
Experience the sea in an active yet relaxed way: fishing with the locals, snorkelling on the reef, a beach BBQ and cold drinks all day long – all included!
Tour itinerary
Transfer & Boarding
We set off in the morning with a transfer to the harbour at Sal Rei, where you’ll board the yacht via a dinghy. From there, our yacht will take you out to the open sea.
Our motor yacht ‘Simply No Stress’ offers a favourite spot for everyone:
- on the foredeck in the front row with panoramic views
- on the aft deck: shaded, cosy, with upholstered benches and a table (smoking area)
- on the flybridge with sunbathing and shaded 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’ll drop anchor and go fishing with our local guides. Anyone who fancies it can have a go at 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’ll set off on a leisurely cruise through the beautiful Bay of Chaves. Enjoy the fantastic views of the coast with a cool drink. We’ll drop anchor once more at a sheltered reef off the small, uninhabited island of ‘Djeu’. Anyone who’d like to can now explore the underwater world here – we’ve got snorkelling gear on board, of course. Those who don’t fancy snorkelling can be taken over to the island or simply relax on the boat.
Barbecues and relaxing on the island
Barbecue & chill out on the little island of ‘Djeu’ – we’ll be spending around 2 hours here – you’ll have plenty of time for:
- a walk to the old fort
- relaxing on the quiet, safe beach (no waves, no current)
- a barbecue with freshly caught fish (or meat on request), served with salad, rice and bread
- Included all day: Coke, Fanta, Sprite, water, beer, white wine & red wine.
Please note that this is a natural beach. There are no parasols or sun loungers, and no designated seating areas.
Now it’s time for the return journey to the harbour (approx. 25 minutes), where your taxi will be waiting to take you back 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. 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. This fee will be waived if we are able to resell the seats.

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.

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.
