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

10/10 Would recommend to all divers
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.

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.

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!

Great crew, fantastic food but unfortunate with the weather
We have been very unfortunate with weather conditions and cold wond really make the expérience less magic. Still the crew really tried their best to make it worth it : we had some very good dives with Mantas, baracudas, geological formations, wrecks. Then the food was very good !
