SailZen, Vila Franca do Campo

We went for a day trip with Andre and Rita in May 2022. The experience was more than we hoped for! The crew was so welcoming and took such good care of us - we felt right at home. You really feel like you are in good hands with the crew. The planning beforehand was very good and Andre was quick to reply and set up the day trip beforehand. He regularly checked the weather to see which day would be best for a sailing experience, and was flexible in choosing the best date. As we enjoy sailing, we got a chance to take part in some of the tasks that were needed to be done onboard which we loved - it was a good learning experience for us. The meal that was prepared was also very good and it was so fun to get to try some of the local foods. After just a few hours onboard it felt like we had some new friends in Andre and Rita. We can highly recommend Sailzen for anybody looking for a top-notch sailing experience on the Azores and we look forward to coming back for one of their 10 day trips.

I did the trip last summer with my 3 kids. We saw the sneak preview on their website and so we had high expectations. I was afraid we were getting seasick and bored. The first part I had under control. The 2nd part, Rita and André lived up to the expectations. We loved it. The children even didn’t ask for a tablet, … This says it all. Besides that, Rita is an amazing cook. We are definitely booking again. Thanks a lot.

Sailing with Sailzen was an extraordinary experience. It was my first time sailing and Andrè and Rita made it very special. It was not just the sailing trip that made it special but also the trips on land, their company and of course the best food that Rita is cooking. They are great in adjusting the trip to your needs and sailing experience. I highly recommend it to everyone who is looking for a unique and personal sailing trip.

We had an amazing sailing adventure on IRRÓ. Andre and Rita were the best hosts who spoiled us with delicious food. From sailing with dolphins to catching fish and limpets every day was full of highlights.

Best Sailing trip ever! Captain Andre was really calm and made the sailing really enjoyable and his girlfriend Rita is the best cook ever. We had a great time sailing and being off the boat, exploring the islands. We are really happy to been on the Boat with them and look forward to Sail with them soon again. Thanks for the amazing time!
