Can the boat capsize or sink?
The Titanic was unsinkable. The Costa Concordia would never capsize… So, yes, boats can sink. But, because the boats meet the mandatory safety requirements, the waters of the Tagus River are calm and the skippers are experienced, our trips are always relaxing and safe.
What if there is no wind?
Normally the sails meet the wind in the river. But when that does not happen we travel with the help of the engine or simply go with the flow of the Tagus.
What if it’s bad weather?
“There is no bad weather. But there are good and bad clothes”, according to a Swedish proverb. So, we’re covered. If necessary we have a rain shelter at your disposal.
And if its very bad weather we will cancel the trip and your payment will be refunded. We understand that safety and comfort are in first place.
And if I want to eat or drink?
Be our guest. Feel free to bring whatever you want or ask us for the menu onboard.
What should I do to avoid getting seasick?
It is very unlikely to get seasick aboard our sailboats. Our activities take place outdoors, in an extraordinary environment and with a cooling sea breeze. And since the Tagus is calm, this adventure is very pleasant, relaxing and peaceful.
You should avoid drinking milk and milk products as well as alcoholic beverages in excess. Some people take medicine to avoid getting seasick. Ask a pharmacist.
