Magalhaes and others. We can customize our charters to suit your requirements catering for individuals or small groups, providing brilliant hospitality on board for all.Whether the guest has never set foot on the water before, or the group has a mixture of experienced sailors and novices alike we can offer a fantastic day out for everyone. Entertaining corporate guests, rewarding your staff, retirement, a special birthday present, or seeing this coast from a unique perspective: all will equally enjoy a day devoted to them giving an experience to remember.

Full day charters start for as little as € 100.00 per head including a buffet lunch (minimum charge 2 persons - please specify whether you would like a cheese and wine buffet or seafood buffet, or a seafood / cheese & wine degustation combination.

Testemunhos March 2009 "Sailing down the Tejo is like sailing through Portugal’s history, and I had been planning that tour for quite some time. My decision to contact Jose Menezes proved to be an excellent choice, both from a needy customer and experienced sailor point-of-view. To watch Lisbon float by from aboard the Norton -- a beautiful, classic and charming sail boat, with all necessary amenities to provide all the comfort we expected -- proved to be an unforgettable evening for my family and I. Thank you Jose for the great service" (A retired CEO of one of the main Banks in Brazil, and his wife) March 2009 "After our sailing trip to Cascais we are now seriously considering buying our own sailing boat" (A German couple with leading roles in two multinational pharma companies) April 2009 "... was a privilege to sail on the historical Lisbon location from where your caravels left to the discoveries" (A Scandinavian couple - the first Danish on board our Hans Christian 43T a boat design based on a Scandinavian rescue boat) May 2009 "Thanks for the perfect sailing from Lisbon to Setubal and back early May this year. As I am used to sailing the North Sea from ports in Holland I loved the 25 to 30 knts northerly winds. I hope for you they will warm up later in the season as those were Dutch temperatures. What makes this a special experience is the Ocean waves, the Portuguese coast, the fresh fish we had and off course the dolphins close to the Setubal port. They never fail to inspire happiness."
