This one does exactly what it says on the tin – you’re in for a day of complete relaxation onboard a glossy catamaran. Your captain will steer you around the picturesque bay of Praia di Chaves, with its turquoise waves and white-sand beaches. You’ll anchor at one of the bay’s prettiest coves, where you’ll enjoy a two-course lunch. The afternoon is then set aside for tanning on the sand, and paddling or swimming in the waves, before you sail back to your starting point.
Sal Rei is a small village with colors and maybe some European-inspiration, with some evidence of a rich commercial past, when the island was exporting salt, dyes for textiles, cotton, cattle, lime and pottery in large quantities. Your tour begins visiting the cemetery of the Jews, today's architectural heritage. A small cemetery, next to the first hotel of the island, the testimony of the Jewish community that took root here in the 19th century and contributed in some way for the development of Boa vista.
The visit continues towards the center of Sal Rei. The village is now occupied by several businesses lead mainly by Italians. You will have short walking tour through the village with visit to the municipal market, through the fish market, passing by the Catholic Church, cultural center and shops of handicrafts. You can also see the small island in front of Sal Rei, the island of Sal Rei, which the Portuguese built Fort Duke of Braganza to protect the town from attacks by pirates.
After the walking tour, you will still have some time to wonder around or for ""souvenir"" shopping. We also stop in the oldest guesthouse on the island, Migrante, where you can try the coffee grown on the island of Fogo and some Grogue liquor made on Sao Nicolau.

Lobster is a Cape Verde speciality, and few do it better than the Atlantis restaurant. On this trip, you can choose from a menu that ticks off everything from seafood pasta to a straight-up half of locally-caught lobster. Artfully-arranged fruit and ice cream desserts round off the menu. And, if you really fancy treating yourself, you can throw a bottle of Prosecco into the mix. The location of the Atlantis is hard to beat, too. It’s right on wide Santa Maria Beach and has a sand-side terrace with wide-ranging ocean views. Everything’s finished off with a live music soundtrack.

Watching whales in their natural habitat is a once in a lifetime experience. After being picked up from your hotel, you’ll have three hours sailing time around Cape Verde’s waters. As this is one of just two humpback whale breeding sites in the North Atlantic, it’s an ideal opportunity to spot these giants of the sea. March to April is peak season, so your chances are at their highest during these months. Humpback whales come up for air for minutes at a time, before raising their enormous dorsal fins out of the water as they dive back down to the depths. If you’re really lucky, you might see one breach – this is when they launch themselves into the air, before crashing back onto the surface with an almighty splash.
There is no better way to relax than on board of a luxury Catamaran. Sail from Santa Maria bay along the west coast towards Monte Leon. Here you will stop, have time for a swim, snorkel or even a spot of fishing. A really enjoyable trip as you also have the possibility of seeing see turtles, dolphins, pilot whales that swim along the coast of Sal( depending on the time of the year).
