Joost and Felipe were absolutely amazing. Everything we asked for was catered for including Apple juice for my 12 year old son. Had a great swim and the ski bobs (scooters) were such good fun. Had lunch at Sueste, which they’d booked for us, which was amazing. Also brought a cake for my dad’s birthday which was a welcome addition. Highly recommend .

Perfect day with Carlos and his wife. The booking was very easy and nice clear instructions were sent on where to meet for our charter. The boat is beautiful with so many different options of where to sit in the sun or shade and everything you need for a comfortable day on the water. The jet ski and water toys made the day for us. Even when the wind picked up slightly in the afternoon Carlos knew exactly where to take us to lovely sheltered Anchorage. Lovely people, great service and already looking forward to our next charter. Thank you.

We had a fantastic day with Francisco who is the perfect host. A lovely cruise along the coast, a peaceful lunch at anchor, messing about with kayak and paddle board, then a sail back to the marina. The boat was clean and comfortable. 5 star all the way. Thank you. See you next time.

Renting a Boat in Faro 

Faro is a Portuguese coastal city located in the Algarve region of the country. The city is rich in historic attractions such as the ancient city walls and the Gothic Cathedral. Moreover, given its excellent location, it is a good starting point for a sailing vacation. Renting a boat in Algarve has always been a top attraction in the region. Hire a boat in Faro and set sail along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and discover the stunning Algarve region of Portugal. 

How much does it cost to hire a boat in Faro? 

The cost of yacht hire in Faro fluctuates according to the season. The highest prices are in the high season during summer from June to August, when there are the most tourists. 

However, thanks to the excellent climate, the sailing season in Faro runs from April until the end of October. If you plan to hire a yacht in Faro, expect to pay around 140€/day for a sailboat and around 500€/day for a catamaran. We recommend booking a few months in advance to guarantee to find the perfect boat for your holiday. 

There is a much wider price range for motor boats, which will depend on the size and type of boat you rent. If you prefer to hire a motor boat for a day, define your project and the activities you would like to do during your trip and choose accordingly. 

Do I need a license to hire a yacht in Faro? 

If you hire a boat in Faro, Portugal you will need to have a valid boating license regardless of the type of boat you rent. You will be asked to present your license if you hire a sailboat or a motorboat too. If your license is issued by any EU Member State, it will automatically be accepted. 

However, don’t worry if you don’t have the necessary documents, you can hire a boat with a skipper! The skipper will allow you to sail to Lisbon or stay local and enjoy the scenery.
