Lagos Yacht Charter: Ponta da Piedade, Paddle Boards & WineYou board a private yacht in Lagos and help decide the route — usually starting at Ponta da Piedade before heading to a quieter bay.

You're back on shore with plenty of daylight left.Is it for me?Book this if you want to escape the crowded tour boats and have a say in where the afternoon goes — the private yacht and small group size are what make that flexibility possible, and the crew handles everything else.
