    “I can recommend Daniel 100%. He's a very caring skipper. We had a wonderful day on his catamaran – the drinks and BBQ were delicious, his crew was incredibly attentive... they know exactly what their guests want. Everything was top-notch! I'd like to give special mention to Daniel because he took such good care of me: Before the catamaran departed, I slipped in my flip-flop and, because of the pain, thought I'd sprained my ankle. On the catamaran, I received wonderful care from Daniel and his crew. By the end of the sailing trip, I couldn't put any weight on it. It was clear I needed to go to the emergency room. Daniel took me and two friends to the hospital, stayed with me the whole time, and translated since no one spoke Portuguese. The diagnosis: a broken metatarsal bone. He was an enormous support; I couldn't imagine anyone being more helpful. Therefore, I wholeheartedly recommend Daniel, a fantastic skipper and a wonderfully empathetic and caring person.”

    “A morning that started early, but that was worth every moment. On board the @wonderlandsails , we set out in search of the majestic Jubarte whales and, more than seeing them, we were presented with an experience of deep enchantment. Starting with the sunrise aboard a super sailing boat and following with Captain Daniel Calliaraux driving everything with mastery, passion and sensitivity—turning the ride into something memorable. The crew, attentive and kind, completes the scene of care and professionalism. Exuberant nature, respectful silence, emotion to the flower of the skin. An experience I recommend from closed eyes and open hearts. Let many more come!”
