Patrice was a wonderful guy and made everything very easy and accessible. The boat was perfect for our group of 8 (two families). We had a very memorable day exploring the glorious local coastline! Thanks Patrice, 5 starts from us and hope to see you again!

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.

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
