I was a week with Rui, nice, helpful, his formula "all inclusive" is managed impeccably and above all is a real sea wolf! ,with him the night at anchor you sleep, you do not "dance" Experience in safety really recommended

The captain Rui a fantastic person and a very experienced navigator a holiday all sea navigation and convivial fun.

Rui exquisite person, experienced skipper and always available to satisfy any need or request. Really recommended holiday for those who love the boat (sailing) and the sea. NB: Those who want to experience Ibiza / Formentera to do above all social life / nightlife must avoid this type of boat holiday, not all the stages designed by the skipper provide the possibility of going down to the mainland for dinner / after dinner!

Rui with his stories and his posed approach manages to convey even in the crowded Balearic Islands at the end of July the atmosphere of the Atlantic crossing alone or the mooring at anchor in a sparse island of the Polynesia. Very willing to involve the crew in the maneuvers and in the management of the boat, he does his best to make the holiday enjoyable for young and old.

A great experience, I highly recommend this fabulous cruise: heavenly places, a great atmosphere, a comfortable boat and a seasoned captain. Rui is a real adventurer who can be trusted and he likes to transmit his passion for sailing, cooks good food and has an attention for everyone. He speaks French, English and Spanish communication is fluid. We come back with stars in our eyes. Thank you for a great week

One of the best trips I've ever taken. The captain, Rui, a special person, always available to satisfy your desires, attentive and decisive to all problems, enormous experience in sailing sailboats, introduces you to the world of navigation making the experience enriching. Easy communication, speaks several languages fluently, we speak of an experienced navigator and aircraft pilot, who transmits security and confidence at all times. Unbeatable quality-price. I highly recommend this trip. Thank you, Salisquare and especially, to Captain Rui

I cannot really say I am fully satisfied about the holiday: although the places were incredible, I didn’t experienced them the way I expected. There were a few situations that made me feel uncomfortable on board. For example, I was the only non Portuguese speaker on the boat and the majority of the conversations were run in Portuguese, which of course put me in an unpleasant position. I had the impression there was no will to create that feeling among the group, which is key for the skipper’s role! As for the tour, we have more or less never been on land, just during the day but never for dinner / at night as this was not taken into consideration. For a few times there was also a lack of organisation (for example, we moved to a place to spend the night and after few hours of navigation we figured out the wind was strong there - which made us move again late at night). Such situations could have been avoided for sure. Rui is a nice person, but a lot of things need to be improved.

For those who want to make a truly unique experience in breathtaking places, in the company of an equally unique and fabulous skipper, this is the ideal opportunity! Rui is a wonderful person: from the first moment, he took care not to let us EVER miss anything. With his kindness, helpfulness and sympathy, Rui gave us an unforgettable experience. The itinerary he defined aims to make you explore the most beautiful bays / beaches of Ibiza and Formentera, and the added value is that he has always shown himself available to adapt the trip according to our requests (in fact, it was possible to stop in places that we liked particularly longer, or take tours on the islands during the day or in the evening). We had a great time on his boat (very clean and comfortable) doing various activities, from sup to fishing, tasting his excellent breakfasts, not to mention the dinners based on grilled meat and fish. Holiday at the TOP that we will replicate, thanks Rui!

Our family holiday on the boat was an amazing experience! Rui is very experienced, attentive and an interesting and fun person to talk to! While we enjoyed the fact that he is also a very good chef, we appreciated that he was also looking very carefully to the safety of us - in particular the safety of our two small kids (six months and two years of age)! We would give six stars if we could! :D

The experience with Rui was impeccable, we had 3 very good days, excellent boat, the captain very sympathetic and excellent navigator. A whole 7.

Sensational boat holiday! Rui turned out to be the best skipper you could wish for: nice and easy-going, the only rule on his boat is "rest and have fun!". It is not a way of saying, Rui takes care of everything, almost always cooks and arranges, cleans, washes dishes etc. His route is fantastic, and in any case he is always available to schedule changes on request. His wonderful way of doing and relating immediately creates a special atmosphere on board his boat! Highly recommended!

5 stars amazing experience with Rui, a trip to remember! The boat is very confortable, very spacious and clean, well equiped with everything you may need on this type of holiday. The route organized by Rui was amazing, he took us to see stunning beaches and bays in Ibiza and Formentera, plus he was totaly flexible and has adjusted the route based on our wishes and needs. Rui is amazing and very experienced skipper, he made us feel very safe during our trip. Last and the most important thing is Rui’s personality-he is such a wonderful person! He used to cook for us almost every day, prepair breakfast and fresh fruits, amazing fish and meat barbecues on boat-he trully made us feel on vacation! We had some wonderful time laughing and talking about our life experiences. I’m sure this is not gonna be the last trip we’re gonna have with Rui:)

Wonderful boat holiday, so much of the merit to the legendary Rui! Unique skipper, he immediately knew how to create a fantastic atmosphere and made us feel on holiday and at ease. Very good cook, he took care of fixing and cleaning him. Great connoisseur of the place, he took us to beautiful places!
