The experience
Hotel pickup gets you to Palmeira, where you board a brand-new catamaran and set sail along Sal's west coast. The captain steers a leisurely route that lets the shoreline unfold as you settle into your spot on deck. The crew handles all the details (comfort, safety, the flow of drinks), while you pick between sunbathing, swimming or lounging on the nets strung above the water. Local music plays in the background and the atmosphere stays relaxed and celebratory.
The boat anchors near Monte Leão, where the water is calm enough for swimming in open seas. Once stationary, you can also stretch out on the nets suspended just above the surface, a spot that catches the full warmth of the Cape Verde sun. Complimentary beer, wine, soft drinks and a glass of cava keep coming throughout the day, along with snacks. Towels are provided, so you only need to bring bathing gear, sunblock and suitable footwear.
