What you can expect

  • Welcome aboard the Gageiro – when the day becomes a memory.

    Forget crowded speedboats and loud engines. Your journey begins in Portimão aboard a true nautical monument: a lovingly restored wooden sailing ship from 1927 that is over 95 years old.
    Chapter 1: The Golden Coast in the Evening Light

    We leave the harbour and glide along the Algarve's impressive rocky coastline. In the warm light of the setting sun, the golden cliffs and hidden caves appear even more intense – calmer, softer, almost surreal. It's a sight that most travellers never experience like this.

    Chapter 2: Anchoring in the João d'Arens Nature Reserve

    Our destination is the João d'Arens protected nature reserve. We will drop anchor in this quiet bay. If the sea allows it, you will have the opportunity to take a swim – or you can stay on board and simply enjoy the special atmosphere at sea.

    Chapter 3: Sunset Sail

    We set sail for the return trip. The engine falls silent – and suddenly there is only wind, sea and stillness.
    Experience real, authentic sailing as the sun sinks into the Atlantic and the sky is bathed in warm colours.
    On board, you will have the opportunity to purchase drinks – including our own wine, perfect for this special moment.
