A wonderful evening, we were a family of four, Mr Pierre was extremely nice, and professional, we saw dolphins families, hunting and jumping for a long while as Mr Pierre works hard on his sailing boat to follow them and for us to enjoy the unique experience, followed to a great swim in the sea, and a great time enjoying the views from the boat, will definitely be back and recommend to everyone.

In October 2015 we went to Lisbon and decided to go sailing one afternoon with À Vela Passeios to spot some dolphins. We already contacted the owner/skipper Pierre and made a reservation in advance. From Lisbon it was a one hour bus ride to Setubal. From the bus station in Setubal we could walk to the harbour.
The sailing trip was in one word amazing!! We went out on the ocean and pretty soon we spotted the entire dolphin family (27 dolphins). They were swimming around our boat for more than an hour. For us and our children it was really an amazing experience to see the dolphins from close by. The skipper, Pierre, is a really friendly man and was able to locate the dolphins, he even let our 6 year old sail his boat.

I advise everybody who loves to be out on the water or those who wants to see Dolphins to book a private sailing trip with Pierre.

Thanks Pierre!

Great trip looking for the dolphins i Setubal! And this guy found them all😊 a "familiy" of around 25 dolphins were swimming around the boat. Together with a good price and really nice boat owner, This is the company you should choose!

On a nice and windy day, we went out to see dolphins. The sails went up when we were just out the harbour. Then the wave-watching began. Thanks to the patience of the skipper we ended up seeing then. It was a very nice experience!

Took an afternoon sail and it couldn't have been more beautiful and perfect!!! Pierre was a wonderful captain and helped our group of 3 locate the dolphins in nearby waters. We were able to bring food onboard with us and could even go swimming. What an experience!! I cannot wait to come back - this by far was my favorite time I've had in my visit to Portugal and will remember always!
Cannot wait to return - Obrigada Pierre!

A great private sailing trip spotted quite a few dolphins. The wine and cheese was also a great way to relax and enjoy the trip.

Pierre is a really nice guy! We had a great time, even in cloudy weather, and saw a lot of dolphins. This guys knows what he is doing and if it is possible to find the dolphins the day you go there, he will!
