What's the plan? *
-
Arrive in Lisbon, meet the crew, and settle into our floating home. We’ll head into the city for dinner as a group, our first introduction to each other and the slow rhythm of Portuguese evenings.
-
A relaxed morning sail to Sesimbra with breakfast onboard. In Sesimbra, you can explore with the group or head out on your own: stroll the waterfront, visit the castle, and squeeze in a swim or seafood lunch.
-
Wake up early to wander Sesimbra’s famous fish market. After breakfast, we’ll sail along the coast to Tróia, known for its miles of pristine golden beaches, crystal-clear waters, and resident dolphins. We’ll spend the afternoon swimming, relaxing onboard, or walking the dunes before dinner together in town.
-
Today is one of our longer sailing days, giving us time to settle into life at sea. Expect long stretches of coastline, salty air, naps on deck, and the occasional stop for a swim if conditions allow. We’ll arrive in the historic port town of Sines by evening, where whitewashed buildings and quiet streets overlook the Atlantic.
-
A slower day to enjoy Sines and the surrounding coastline. You can wander the market, relax at the beach, take a swim, or simply enjoy a slow morning with coffee on deck. In the evening, we’ll gather for dinner together.
-
We’ll sail back north toward Setúbal. Along the way, we may stop in secluded bays for swimming or lunch onboard. Setúbal is known for its fishing culture, lively markets, and excellent seafood, making it the perfect place for a long dinner ashore.
-
Our final sail takes us back toward Lisbon. We’ll spend the day soaking up the last moments onboard: reading on deck, swimming, sharing meals, and watching the coastline drift by before returning to the city. For our final meal, we’ll experience Lisbon’s fado scene.
-
After breakfast, we’ll say goodbye and head our separate ways — hopefully saltier and with a few new friends.
