What a fantastic day. Patrice was great from start to finish, really helpful and he communicated with us to make sure we had all the details for the charter. The boat was perfect for exploring Benagil, Armacao de Pera and Alvor. I would really recommend Patrice and this boat to anyone considering a boat charter from Portimao.️🇵🇹

Amazing day renting the boat from Tony. Our young skipper (we forgot his name) was really friendly and knowledgable. He took us to an amazing restaurant in Alvor and knew all the best spots. Thank you so much for a lovely day!

The boat trip up the Arade river was absolutely brilliant and marvellous We opted for the sunset trip up to Silves Magical, mid August and we had the whole scenic river to ourselves The countryside is magnificent with loads of wild life Our host Vitor and his helm were very welcoming, delicious wines and petiscos all part of the service Vitor obviously loves spending time on his boat, his enthusiasm is contagious! We would recommend doing a trip without hesitation Sebastian Camisuli
