During the summer our job is to ensure that your holiday in Lagos is rich in unforgettable experiences, sailing on our yachts and collecting unique moments. In today’s text we talk about how we prepare the boats in winter, life in the boatyard, our holidays, kayaks in the coldest weather and, of course, the team’s rest.
And during the winter?
The truth is that during the winter we take our well-deserved holidays, we recover the batteries in our bodies, but we also do a very important job: recovering the boats.
The ‘trip’ to the boatyard is essential so that we can ensure that the boats are prepared for each wave, each trip, each bump on the quay and, of course, so that you can travel safely during your holidays in Lagos. The sailboats, for example, undergo a thorough overhaul of the hull timbers, analysing their condition and replacing those that have been most affected during the season. The engines undergo a thorough overhaul in an effort to get the best performance out of them. Finally, the boats are painted with figures related to our Algarve, our sea and our company.
The shipyard phase
The shipyard phase is also a quieter time in the business, as temperatures are lower and the Algarve suffers from a lack of tourists, allowing us to carry out these sailboat restorations and even organise the human resources for the next season.
‘But do they stop travelling?’
Of course not! The trips to the caves in the smaller boats continue, as long as the weather and the state of the sea are suitable for everyone’s navigation and safety. Our winter is our calmest period, a desired phase after consecutive months of high demand, offering a personalised and quality service during your holidays in Lagos.
‘And the Kayak trips are still running?’
Our auxiliary boat is also entering the shipyard and undergoing improvements to the engine. A break in perfect timing given the low water temperatures and the low demand for kayak trips.
‘When will the sailboats and kayaks return?’
Our team expects both sailboats to return at the same time in February, after both boats have fully recovered and in order to get the season off to a flying start. The kayaks open their ‘calendar’ in March, in the pre-Easter phase, so that you can have great experiences during your holidays in Lagos, especially during a warmer period.
In short, let’s get down to work and embrace the winter with the same dedication as we do the summer.
