Why you’ll love this…

  • There's a tasting of red, white and rosé wines, including the Gageiro's own

What to expect

The Gageiro is one of the last traditional wooden boats in the Algarve still sailing under pure wind power. On this half-day experience, you'll cruise the coast in a small group, sailing authentically whenever the wind allows. Enjoy Algarve tapas made with regional products, included drinks, and a tasting of three wines – white, rosé and red – including the Gageiro's own. It's a feel-good way to enjoy sailing along one of Europe's most impressive coastlines.

    Great crew very helpful and informative. Didn’t get enough time to enjoy the tapas as they got underway before we had a chance to enjoy it. Overall had a good time.

    The drive to the meet up was an hour each way which made it a long 6 hour day. However, the hosts Fernando & Sandra were very welcoming, knowledgable, entertaining with conversation, looked after you throughout the trip.

    It was a great day. It was a bit too cold to swim but we did manage to enjoy the sails. It’s not very comfortable, you sit on hard wood, it’s doable but you end up a bit numb. Staff were really nice people. Tapas was lovely with a pastel de nata treat for dessert. I’d go on it again.

    We were expecting to see inside the caves and not just a sail by. It was cold on the sea and they has the canopy up blocking out the sun. The trip was boring and there was a lot of waiting around before we came back to shore.The tapas was lovely.The bus ride too and from the harbour was not good. The lady driver was very slow. Other drivers sounding their horn at her and she kept making the sign of the cross. Poor driving.

    The pick up driver was very nervous and inexperienced. We were late to the boat which meant there was no where for us to sit. Everyone else on the trip was German and the staff that came with us did not speak English so we found out very little about the area. But worse and more importantly, we were not told timings, lunch or safety details during the trip so weren't comfortable swimming or leaving the boat. We did not as far as we could tell visit the promised cove, and we did have an engine
