BOAT TRIPS IN MONSARAZ:

Choose from a sailing boat, yacht or semi-rigid boat and come and enjoy an unforgettable experience on the waters of Lake Alqueva near Monsaraz.

SEM FIM has three different boats with programmes to suit all tastes:

The Dutch sailboat, a special boat on the Alqueva Dam with the possibility of stopping on our shores or on the golden island, offers exclusive tours and group tours.

The Sem Fim yacht Gloria offers overnight stays (for up to 7 people), sunset trips with sparkling wine and on-board lunches, most of which are exclusive.

SEM FIM SAILING SHIP:

Built in 1913 in Holland, it was used to transport goods on the Dutch canals, including flowers.
As it has no keel but two side rails that stabilise it, it's perfect for the banks of the Alqueva and can dock anywhere.

17-metres length at waterline, 3.10-metres surface elevation, 90 m2 of sails, 12 metres of mast and a draught of 50 cm. A sailing boat reminiscent of a pirate ship, it was formerly a house and now sails with those who love adventure.
