Portugal is a country with a strong connection to the sea, and for Ideal & Co it is one of our strong influences. Independent magazine Tide is one of our most recent reads, exploring the shifts and changes at the core of the sailing world and the ocean adventure: the vessels, the people, the experiences, the destinations — the many facets that entice individuals around the world to pursue this alluring form of adventure.

In the third issue, Tide sails around some hidden Caribbean gems, put their feet up at Dominica’s eco-obsessed Secret Bay Hotel, and chart a course around Costa Rica’s Pacific coastline. Before heading off in search of warmer climes, Tide also took a deep dive into the extraordinary history of the Schooner, and spoke with leading ocean environmentalist Charles Clover, as well as much more.
