The hull cuts through a glassy blue that dares you to dive; gulls circle overhead and the Arrábida cliffs drop like folded pages into the sea. On this full-day sailing loop from Setúbal, passengers move between limestone caves, small spits of sand reachable only by boat at low tide, and wide calm bays where the Sado estuary breathes into the Atlantic.
