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

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.

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.

Great Liveaboard Trip!
We had a great liveaboard trip on Water & Wind. The boat is small, but has very nice rooms and only felt a bit crowded when everyone was getting their wetsuits on and off. The crew and food were great during the trip. The diving was different than what we were used to but it was interesting. It was bit cold and wish I brought a drysuit. Overall it was a great trip and would recommend it to other people to experience in addition to all the amazing topside things to do on land.

Diving, eating and relaxing
The week was everything I wanted, to relax, dive and rest. The crew was very nice, always making sure we had everything we needed for diving or for meals. The captain Carlos was very nice and tried to manouver around the weather to give us the best diving experience and the dive guide, Alexa, the same. We didn't see any whalesharks and only a few mantas, but that's nature, it is beyond our control. I was lucky because only one other couple was on bord, the remaining canceled last minute, so instead of 7 divers we were only 3, which made the experience much more enjoyable. The boat is confortable but not very big, so I imagine it could be a bit crowded with full occupancy, specially the 4th cabin that would have to share the bathroom with the crew. Totally worth it, I highkly recommend it!

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

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!
