Decent days sailing - We did the half day trip on Friday. Not the best weather with wind around 25 mph and thick cloud. That said, the boat was really nice and the crew helpful. Lots of complimentary drinks available and a long swimming break in the middle. Food was decent and there was plenty space on the boat to relax We saw a couple of pods of dolphins in front of the boat, with tuna jumping vertically out of the water to avoid them. And we saw a large, dark shape , possibly a humpback whale , but quite far away so difficult to be sure. Photographer got some great pictures , the app they send them to was a little difficult to navigate but we managed to get the boat company to follow up and send us them another way. Overall great value for money, shame about the weather.

A fun and lovely day at sea - Cheerful and hospitable staff, good safety routines both for swimming/ snorkelling and the transport to and from Makaira. Nice trip to secluded bay in shelter of the wind, I expected us to go north but we went southwards (maybe because of the wind?). Some of the guests made it a booze cruise, so it might be a good idea to have a maximum limit of drinks :) All in all well worth the money. Extra bonus for female captain💪

Amazing. - Superb experience the whole team is present to make sure the moment passes as well as possible. In English in French or Portuguese everything is done for the public. Baignan in the ocean and equipment suitable for aquatic activities. We were able to see fish and taste very good snacking!! Advantage, if you specify, 20% of the price is donated to an association that looks after cats and dogs on the island! Join the useful to the pleasant what more to ask!

Unforgettable experience ! - Unforgettable experience on the catamaran Makaira! Everything is perfectly organized and you just have to take care of relaxing and enjoying yourself! The crew give you clear instruction and is so welcoming and thoughtful. Especially the captain of the boat Roza who brings so much positive energy on the boat! We stopped in such a lovely spot with clear water, and even got the chance to see a whale 😍 I will bring those memories with me forever. So grateful for this experience and I will recommend to anyone who come to Sal and wants to make a unique experience during their stay !

Ocean lovers love Catamaran Makaira Vibes 💙🌊✨ - I’ll be honest—this review is very biased, because I’m an ocean lover. 🌊 And this half-day catamaran tour with Makaira in Sal, Cabo Verde was beyond beautiful. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made us feel completely taken care of. Their guidance throughout the tour was excellent—professional, warm, and relaxed at just the right pace. They created an atmosphere where you could truly unwind: lounging in the sun, dancing on deck, laughing with others, or simply taking in the endless blue. They brought us to an amazing snorkeling spot, with crystal-clear water that felt incredibly refreshing. Whether you wanted to stay sober and feel one with the ocean, or sip on caipirinhas and enjoy a slightly tipsy, carefree vibe—everything was perfectly balanced. Everyone could have their version of a perfect day. Great music, great energy, stunning water, and a crew that genuinely knows how to host an unforgettable experience. For me, this was more than a tour—it was a feeling. Truly amazing, and absolutely recommended. ✨

Great exprience - Brilliant trip organised by Prince tours. Collected at front of hotel. Comfortable transfer. Well ran, efficient service. Short trip (2mins) by small boat to moored catamaran. Very clear safety briefing offered in different languages by the crew (English, Portuguese and French on our day.) Fantastic experience, the captain explained due to weather they may choose a different mooring spot to allow activities. Mooring spot appropriately chosen with the offer of food, drink, swimming, fishing. The atmosphere was amazing. In return trip we experienced the sunset over the Atlantic with some local music played live to us which was amazing. Very chilled experience and would highly recommend for couples.
