Rui Cortez. A company built around what he loves.

Rui · Captain at sea and on the road

Rui is an airline captain with a mechanical engineering degree. With years of study and real responsibility, he brings in the kind of calm that builds slowly.

On the boat or in the Land Rover Defender, the same instinct is at work. Safety for him is the norm and is automatic, which leaves him free to think about you. The speed at which the Arrábida looks its best. The right angle to catch the bridge. Some people make you feel safe within a minute of meeting them. Rui is one of those.

He's also passionate about travelling. About food, about the less obvious routes, about what a day can be when someone really thinks it through.

Why every day is private

Each day at Landy & Sails is private by choice — not by limitation. Because the best memories are made in quiet, with attention, with the right people.

Ready when you are

Reserve a day that becomes a memory.

New dates released every fifteen days. Each is private. Each is limited.
