Food: You can bring your own food and drinks but be aware that cooking and red wine onboard are not allowed. Next to our office there are a couple of bars and restaurants where you can have a coffee or buy last minute food and drinks. If you prefer, you can take you to have lunch at a restaurant in one of the islands or we can assist you with the catering, providing a menu from an external supplier so that you just have to get on board and have fun.
Please note:
Boarding: As you will notice, the Doca de Faro is a small marina, and our yachts are too big to enter here. Therefore, the transfer to our yachts will be made from the Doca de Faro with our smaller boats.
