About me

Hello, I'm Mário! I was born in the charming fishing village of Nazaré, famous worldwide for its giant waves. My passion for the sea runs deep, and I've been captivated by it from a very young age.

My journey with sailing began when I was just 9 years old. I started practicing sailing, and by my childhood, I was already participating in regattas and working as part of the crew on various sailboats.

25 years ago, I acquired my first sailboat, and today I'm proud to own my sixth one — the Mr. Blue, a fantastic and comfortable 47-foot Beneteau Oceanis 473 Clipper.

For over 30 years, I've sailed along the entire Portuguese and Spanish coasts, even venturing into the Atlantic waters to the beautiful island of Madeira.

In 2020, I fulfilled a dream of mine: I spent four sabbatical years sailing full-time in the Mediterranean. From Spain to the Balearic Islands, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Malta, and Tunisia — I explored diverse cultures and met fascinating people.

Now, I'm back in my favorite city, the wonderful Lisbon. I've been offering sailing tours since 2015 and it's been an absolute pleasure to share my love for the sea with over 1,600 clients and more than 800 tours.

I'm passionate about what I do, and I'd love for you to join me on a sailing adventure to experience Lisbon and the Tejo River in a way you'll never forget.
