Exciting afternoon on the water
We saw a turtle as we left harbour - and then several bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales out at sea. This was exciting as sightings can't be guaranteed. We woke up that morning due to sail at 10.30 but there was a thick fog. VMT called us to say we wouldn't sail but offered us the chance to cancel or go out that afternoon at 3. We chose to go and the weather was great. After seeing the various sea life, we sailed west along the coast to Cap Gerao and then back to harbour with views along the coast. Our vessel was VMT's largest catamaran and it was not full, with plenty of space for us all to look out. Plenty of cover. The crew were great, regularly telling us what was happening and walking round to talk to us. The ship had a nice bar with very reasonably priced drinks. One of the crew took photos and so we bought one as a nice memento of the trip. There was no pressure to have a picture taken or to buy it. We felt safe and well looked after. VMT deserve their good reviews, and I would highly recommend them. A tip - the check-in booth is not in the main marina (where VMT do have a shop and ticket office), but the next dock along where the tripper boats are all moored.
