Equipa muito profissional e acolhedora! A equipa da sailzen é de facto das melhoras no mercado. fazer viajens de barco, para mim, será sempre com eles.

Outstanding sailing experience We spent for the second time a wonderful family vacation with Andre and Rita on board of the beautiful IRRÓ sail boat. This is not a conventional sailing vacation. It exceeds in all aspects. Andre and Rita are an incredible team who cut nothing short to assure an outstanding sailing and gastronomic experience. Their style is informal making us feel all part of a close friend and privileged gathering. Their sailing skills are exceptional and the boat is super safe! If you are looking for a specially custom dedicated sailing trip, look no further.

Another amazing sailing experience An amazing sailing experience with Captain Branco aboard Irro`. I have been three times and each time is unique, new sites to see, swimming areas, food and laughter. This time we saw a sperm whale with her calf. This was a first for me! Rita is a wonderful, kind and lovely hostess. She makes delicious meals for us and tends to our needs to make us comfortable and the trip enjoyable. Andre`is an expert sailor/captain and you feel safe when you are sailing with him. He also shares sailing techniques and is a wonderful host. The whole 10 days are exciting, not only because of the beauty of the Azores but also being with this great couple! Ready to return!

Just do this! If I could give Sailzen 10 stars out of 5 I would. We had an absolutely fantastic time on our 6-day trip in July. One of the most memorable travel experiences I have had and I have traveled a lot. It was so beautiful and peaceful and we saw lots of sea-life including fabulous snorkeling and fluorescent dolphins at night, which was truly magical. Andre and Rita were fantastic hosts. Made us feel so welcome and really went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. The boat is beautiful and comfortable, Andre is a very experienced and professional captain so you are in excellent hands whether you know how to sail or not, and Rita cooked fabulous local food. Totally positive experience. Highly recommend.

All is blue Where the sea meets the sky on Irro and with Sailzen. What an amazing few days and such a privilege to be able to experience this beauty. I believe Andre and Rita are two of the most positive people we have ever meet. Not only that but super professional, proud and passionate. And then the Azores: WOW. Thankyou guys for sharing this unique experience.

Melhor experiência nos Açores. A melhor experiência da minha vida!! Navegar nos Açores com a Sailzen foi incrível, além de velejar tive uma das mais incríveis experiências da minha vida mergulhar com as jamantas no meio do oceano atlântico norte. Foi tanta emoção que chorei em baixo da água e tive minha máscara de mergulho enchei de lágrimas de emoção. O time André e Rita, não tenho palavras para descrever porque da para escrever um livro, mas em poucas palavras tudo impecável , segurança a bordo o Capitão André Branco sempre cuidando para que todos nós sempre estivéssemos bem, felizes e confortáveis . A chef Rita uma culinária exemplar direito a estrela michelan. Café da manhã sempre com produtos queijos e frutas dos Açores e cada ilha tem algo especial. Almoço também menu açoriano ou algo fresco para acompanhar o momento caso estivéssemos navegando ele fazia salada , caso estivéssemos em âncora era outro menu nata 10. Tudo o que poço dizer que se vc quer ir para os Açores venha navegar com André e Rita no veleiro Irró. Muito obrigada pela maravilhosa semana. Adriana

Suite d'une magnifique découverte de l'archipel des Açores à la voile 2e fois que nous faisons un voyage avec André et Rita (2018 et 2023). Une expérience à chaque fois inoubliable. Le capitaine André est à votre écoute, que vous vouliez participer aux manœuvres ou pas, Rita est une experte culinaire et tous les 2 d'une grande gentillesse. Grâce à Sailzen, nous avons pu naviguer en toute sécurité (et ce même en cas de rencontre d'un peu trop près avec un cachalot la nuit), visiter les principales îles des Açores (André les connaît toutes et on a l'impression qu'il connaît aussi tout le monde, il est un excellent guide de l'archipel et des particularités de chaque île, naturelles ou culturelles), voir des animaux marins, et pêcher/manger du poisson frais. La 1ère fois vous arrivez client, vous repartez complètement relax avec de nouveaux amis, et l'envie de revenir...

Amazing adventure in the Azores! Truly a trip of a lifetime with Andre and Rita on their beautiful sailboat sailing around the Azores. The Azores are beautiful, lush, volcanic islands with friendly locals and no crowds! No better way to tour them than with Captain Andre who grew up there and Rita who provided delicious meals made with local ingredients. We were treated daily with beautiful sunrises, sunsets and views of the islands only available from the ocean. Everywhere we anchored for the evening or a trip onshore, we were the only boat; talk about having the place all to yourself!! We snorkeled with whale sharks, saw a humpback whale and her calf and watched dolphins racing across our bow. Captain Andre let us practice the sailing skills we recently acquired and was very patient in helping us increase our knowledge and skills.

Amazing family experience! Our experience with André and Rita aboard Irró was beyond enriching and beautiful. Sailing the islands with locals enabled us to get to know them in a much more beautiful way, as they are not only wonderful professionals but amazing human beings. If you ever have the opportunity of engaging in a sailing trip, don’t let Sailzen pass you by!

Séjour de rêve! Nous avons choisi un circuit de 10 jours et sans exagérer tout était parfait. André & Rita forment un duo complémentaire pour que l’on passe un merveilleux moment. Les compétences du skipper, la succulente cuisine de Rita, leur accueil chaleureux, le magnifique bateau…. Tout ça dans ces îles magnifiques que sont Les Açores!
