About Cape Cruiser
Cape Cruiser are based in Sagres harbour and offer boat trips all year round for family days out, fishing trips, private charters and sunset cruises around the beautifully rugged coastline at "The End of the World"!
Cabo São Vicente is the most south westerly point in Europe and up until the Middle Ages when Henry the Navigator, Vasco da Gama and Fernão Magalhães (amongst others) finally rounded the cape, was thought to be the end of the world.
Cape Cruiser will take you on a boat trip around the cape on board the " Estrela do Rio" - A trip with panoramic views of monuments, beaches, cliffs and the light house. This cruise is in the afternoons from 15.00 to 16.45.
Cape Cruiser also run a morning cruise from 10.30 to 13.00 to enjoy the wonderful scenery as you sail along the coastline of Sagres and keep a look out for the dolphins that regularly visit the boat. A light lunch on board is included.
Family fishing trips on board the "Estrela do Rio" are a unique opportunity to fish in a typical Portuguese manner using hand lines. In a relaxed atmosphere on board and with the help of a friendly crew, the fishing is suitable for beginners, groups of fishermen and families (children welcome). The catch will be cooked on board and served for lunch!
