Highlights
The Water and Wind catamaran is one of the few boats offering liveaboard diving in the beautiful archipelago of the Azores. She offers an intimate and unforgettable experience sailing around the Azores Archipelago for up to 8 guests in 4 cabins for private charter/group bookings but will accommodate only 6 guests in 3 cabins for cabin charters to offer ample space comfort. The lounge and galley area offers comfortable seating and indoor dining, or guests can enjoy al fresco meals with stunning sea views on the balcony area. The hammock at the front of the boat is perfect for lazing in the afternoon sun or star-gazing into the night.
The Water and Wind catamaran is perfectly set up to offer diving and sailing adventures in Portugal. Primarily focussed on diving tours around the Azores, the boat visits Ambrosio and Santa Maria, Formigas, Dollabrat, San Miguel, and Terceira. All dives are instructor or divemaster-led, and the accompanying dive tender makes getting to and from the dive sites hassle-free

Had an amazing week on Water & Wind going to Santa Maria and Formigas. Even saw whales and dolphins from the surface. Carlos, Levi and Tiago made our stay really comfortable and reacted well to changing situations!

Get away from the crowds and dive Santa Maria, Formigas & Dollabarat.
Good for getting away from everyone and having dive sites to yourself with a maximum of 8 guests.

Fantastic Trip!
We had a great time during our week on the Water and Wind. The crew was extraordinary: friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Though small, the boat was great, and sitting on the sun deck or the bow was a wonderful pastime between dives. Food was excellent. Diving was done safely and professionally, with the guides putting safety first always, but also allowing for exploring of different types of topography and animals. We loved the blue water dives, where mobula ray sightings are near guaranteed. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience
Great experience. The cook (who is also a diving instructor himself) cooked very delicious vegan food for me. The boat was comfortable, the crew was very nice. The dive guide was very professional. Everything was great. We also saw a lot of beautiful things - lots of life, caves, gorges and other beautiful underwater landscapes

- Nice and knowledgable team. No other liveaboards around -> so you are often almost alone at remote divesites. Great food.

Wonderful experience with excellent crew
diving experience was outstanding with terrific mobula ray encounters and reaching locations that can hardly be accessed otherwise, the crew always knew how to arrange things for the best experience, also including the opportunity to skip a dive and visit Santa Maria instead which was great.
