Sea Lion Clipper Yacht

Our team had a very productive week aboard Saildive operated by Paulo Gaspar and his crew. The catamaran is one of the most efficient production platforms we have experienced in our career as underwater filmmakers. The space on board was managed very flexible according to our logistical needs. Paulo operated the catamaran with a strong focus to provide the best possible experience and always went the extra mile to exceed our expectations. We can see that his operation offers one of the best options to experience the waters of the Azores, no matter if you are on a wildlife expedition or simply on holiday.

Gaspar is truly a man of the sea. His knowledge of these waters and insight into the behaviors of the wildlife is extraordinary. Gaspar’s professionalism and passionate dedication to the success of your project and safe enjoyment of your expedition is why his company is the obvious choice for charter in the Azores. Whether you are a professional photographer or filmmaker in search of amazing footage of pelagic animals, or simply on a relaxing holiday of sailing or scuba diving in the beautiful Azores, you are in capable hands with Gaspar and his team.

Paulo Gaspar is one of those unique individuals who is able to remove his mind from the concerns of civilized life and open it fully to the signals of nature, reading subtle hints in the breeze and on the surface of the ocean to understand what is happening in the unseen world beneath that surface. Years of stalking game as a blue water spearfisher have taught him the habits of many of the denizens of Neptune’s realm, how they interact with each other, where to look for certain creatures, and how to approach them. For a wildlife photographer or hunter, a guide with this set of knowledge, along with finely-tuned instincts, is an invaluable resource.

I visited the Azores 2011 the first time and was absolutely loved.
A paradise for nature lovers and divers seeking the adventure.
Every visit to the islands was different and always good for surprises.
I am looking forward to our next trip to the exciting underwater world at the beautiful island.
