Nicki L14 days agoA great tour on the catamaran - great company! We had a fab half day tour in the catamaran. We were collected from our hotel, great communication beforehand, we were in good hands, very thorough welcome and crew were fab. We were served drinks, snacks and had a snorkel up by the lion mountain. Was great with kids! To top it all off, my son really wanted to fish, so went to ask and he ended up reeling in a massive Mahi Mahi, his biggest fish ever- he felt like a celebrity!! Thanks for an awesome trip!VerifiedPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Thamar142 days agoGeweldig If you’re thinking about booking this trip… just do it. You won’t regret it. From the very first moment, everything is taken care of with such attention and care. You feel truly welcome, whether you arrive alone or with friends. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and full of good energy. The snacks are fresh and delicious, and the caipirinhas are simply amazing 🍹 — the perfect touch while sailing along the beautiful coastline of Sal. But what made this experience unforgettable for me was Captain Roza. Seeing a strong, confident woman leading the catamaran is not only inspiring, it gives the whole trip an extra special vibe. You feel safe, in good hands, and part of something unique. The team really listens and looks after you, making sure everyone is comfortable and enjoying themselves. It’s not just a tour… it feels personal. Whether you’re looking for a fun afternoon, a relaxing escape on the water, or a private trip, this is something you should not miss. Seeing the island from the ocean is pure magic ✨ Don’t miss it.VerifiedPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Happiness03183820394170 days agoAmazing family catamaran tour in Sal: great crew hotel pickup, snorkeling with turtles - wonderful experience! Amazing family experience on Catamaran Makaira! We joined the half-day morning tour on the Catamaran Makaira in Sal, Cabo Verde as a family with our two sons (11 years and 1.5 years old), and we all absolutely loved it! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. We were picked up directly from our hotel and comfortably brought to the harbour and onto the catamaran — super easy and stress-free, especially with young children. The crew was fantastic: friendly, attentive, and created such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere throughout the trip. The highlight was definitely the snorkeling stop — seeing turtles and all kind off fishes was simply magical! On board, we enjoyed great music, refreshing drinks, and snacks. All in all, an unforgettable experience for the whole family. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sal!

Ich konnte auch andere Katamaran Touren mit anderen Firmen machen aber keine hat mir so gefallen wie mit Catamaran Makaira❤️ Man fühlt sich sofort aufgenommen, es ist niemals langweilig und man hat immer was zu lachen. Ich habe nichts worüber ich mich beschweren könnte, jeder ist super lieb und hilfsbereit. Ich würde mit niemand anderem fahren. ❤️Posted on Google![]()
