"Unforgettable experience with Ventura!" - From the moment of booking to the return to the harbor, everything went impeccably. The booking was quick and simple, and the Ventura team was always attentive and professional. The boat ride to the Deserts was simply spectacular! We were lucky to spot dolphins — a real thrill. Between refreshing dives, snorkeling and fun moments at the stand up paddle, visiting the island, there were activities to get the most out of the day. The lunch, already included in the tour, was delicious, with meat or fish options, drinks and dessert included — all very well served and in a relaxed Mood. The good weather helped, but it was the sympathy and dedication of the Ventura team that made this experience memorable. No doubt, an Enterprise I recommend to those who want to know the wonders of the Deserts (and other tour options that the Enterprise has) in a safe, fun and unforgettable way!

Dreamlike - The sailing tour was fantastic and relaxing. We were only 5 adventurous and 2 two crew members in total. Almost a private tour. The two Portuguese crew members were very friendly and helpful, just as you wish. We just felt very comfortable, like home. The food was delicious. There was Duck Rice, a Portuguese dish. It was kept in 2 bays. There you could swim and standup paddle. A tour for connoisseurs... Many thanks to the crew members for this wonderful tour. Frank and Monika

Great two days sailing to Desertas islands - We had a two days tour to the Desertas islands. The crew was great and we were very well looked after. We managed to see many birds on the way and the crew accooadted to our wish to see the birds while also looking for other wildlife. Diner on the boat was delicious and there was plenty of food.

boottrip with respect to nature - Very nice boottrip. Very friendly and proffesional crew. Know about the pelagic birds and marine wildlife. Passionate about nature. Nice boot, good food.

A great adventure - I chose Ventura to take me to the Ilhas Desertas because I was told they provide a marine biologist on board, and that most bird watchers choose to go with them. I clearly did not read the description of what I booked, and I was pleasantly surprised to see were using a nice 15 m sailing vessel to get to the island! The deck space is laid out well with plenty of space and nice cushions. There is a toilet on board. The crew were great and they quickly made us feel at home in our home for the day. The sail, the swim, the tour on the island were all fab. The only thing I would say is that your time on the island is limited, I tried to book the two day tour, but they did not run it this week, but if you have the time I think the two day trip would be a proper adventure! Lunch was very good, and as a vegetarian I was especially catered for! We saw plenty of birds and cetaceans but the highlight for me were the 40 or so striped dolphins, maybe I should book a whale watching trip next 🤔.

Shade needed and 2nd stop! - We loved the captains, lunch and jumping off the boat to swim at the 1st stop. But we felt the journey on the way back felt SUPER LONG with out a second stop to swim since the sun is so strong at that time. It would have also been useful to provide some sort of shade on the deck besides going down to the galley where u can feel sea sick. If this existed I would give a 10 out of 10 since the food was amazing and the Spotify playlist was on point along with the paddle boards and snorkel gear provided. But If you are sensitive to sun and heat then I would find a boat with more shade and that stops more frequent to swim
