Company

CALYPSO AZORES – YACHT CHARTER (Calypso- Atividades Marítimo Turísticas, Unipessoal, Lda), is a young and dynamic company that was born from the passion for the sea and the will to show and divulge the beauties of our Graciosa Island in particular and the Azores in general.

Our admiration for the great oceanographer Jacques-Yves Custeau, who traveled the world on board the famous “Calypso“, was the source of inspiration for the choice of the name of this project. Here is also our tribute to this man who loved the sea and was undoubtedly the most famous explorer of the underwater environment of the 20th century.

Dedicated especially to the activities of Nautical Tourism and Tourism Animation, started its activity in April 2013 having opened on September 14, 2015 a commercial space with a Nautical Shop and reception of customers.
