Set sail for an exclusive full day at sea aboard a Nautitech 47, one of the most spacious and comfortable sailing catamarans in the Azores. This privately crewed experience is designed for those seeking elegance, relaxation, and a genuine connection with nature along the breathtaking south coast of São Miguel.
Enjoy a smooth and scenic sail around the islet of Vila Franca do Campo and along the beautiful beaches in the surroundings before anchoring in carefully selected bays or near secluded beaches. Enjoy going for a swim, take the opportunity to snorkel in crystal-clear waters, try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), or simply unwind in the yacht’s generous lounge areas, surrounded by stunning coastal landscapes.
Choose the dining experience that best complements your day at sea:
• Picnic-Style Lunch on Board – A relaxed yet refined option featuring an artisanal sandwich, fresh fruit, and the traditional queijada da vila, a regional sweet from Vila Franca do Campo
• VIP Freshly Prepared Meal on Board – A premium, healthy lunch prepared by our onboard cook and tailored to your dietary preferences (available for groups of up to 8 guests)
• Restaurant Ashore – Enjoy a meal at a carefully selected local restaurant in Ribeira Quente, Povoação, or Caloura (advance booking required and subject to suitable sea conditions)
After lunch, continue with a gentle sail, embracing the rhythm of the ocean and the beauty of São Miguel’s coastline. SailZen does not conduct organized whale watching activities; however, occasional sightings of marine life may occur. These are natural and unpredictable encounters that cannot be guaranteed or included as part of the experience.
Enhance your journey with a selection of cocktails, mocktails, snacks, and premium drinks available for purchase throughout the day.
Your experience is guided by a professional crew dedicated to safety, comfort, and personalized service. Led by a local captain, the crew will share insights into the island’s history, culture, and geology, enriching your time at sea from start to finish.
Up to 12 guests are hosted with a two-member crew; for groups exceeding 12 passengers, a third crew member joins to ensure the highest standards of service and a seamless experience for up to 21 guests on board.
Note: Snorkeling and SUP activities are offered only when weather and sea conditions are suitable and are limited to a maximum of 8 participants at a time.
