Once underway, the Santa Maria Manuela heads south, following the Iberian coast past the golden cliffs and whitewashed towns of the Algarve.

During the voyage, the crew will invite you to take part in the sailing experience—hoist and trim the sails, take the helm, join knot-tying workshops, or even climb the mast. 

Whether you're eager to get hands-on or prefer to relax and observe, there's space aboard for both active learning and quiet reflection.
