Toying with the Atlantic: Seascooters, SUP and Snorkel off Ponta Delgada.
From the harbor of Ponta Delgada, Sailingside runs a compact, activity-rich boat tour that layers high-adrenaline toys—seascooters and stand-up paddleboards—with low-key exploration via snorkeling gear. In roughly two hours participants move between short on-water sessions and open-water viewing, a tidy window into the Azorean sea life and shoreline.

Seascooters: Fast, Hands-Free Thrills
The itinerary includes seascooters as a core activity, giving riders an assisted, buoyant way to cover more water and hover over marine life without tiring their limbs.
Stand-up Paddleboarding for a Slower View
Stand-up paddleboards are provided so participants can steady themselves above the surf and scan the blue for color and movement—an intimate counterpoint to the seascooter runs.
Snorkeling to Meet the Marine Life
Snorkeling equipment is included, allowing swimmers to drop below the surface and inspect the reefs and schooling fish that make the Azorean coastal waters lively and worth exploring.
What the day feels like
What the two hours feel like
The outing is a compact sequence of short, high-engagement activities—ride a seascooter, paddle a SUP, slip into a snorkel mask—stitched together aboard a launch that serves as a staging platform. The rhythm is quick: gear on, water time, brief regrouping, then the next toy. It’s designed to deliver variety and immediate access to the water within a two-hour window.
