ABOUT US
VOLTA DO MAR
(‘turn of the sea’ or ‘return from the sea’) was a unique sailing technique devised by intrepid Portuguese sailors during the fifteenth century. In order to return home from epic voyages across the globe, ships would turn and set sail in the opposite direction away from Portugal. Once far out into the ocean, they could catch and ride the trade winds home. For the Portuguese explorers, mastering the "Volta do Mar" required knowledge of the winds and seas as well as the skill and expertise to harness these powerful natural forces. For us, it symbolizes a special combination of knowledge and expertise, combined with a respect for nature and the environment, as well as the thrill of discovery and exploration.
