We had a truly fantastic experience from start to finish. The catamaran itself was luxurious and beautifully maintained, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing day on the water. The two skippers were exceptional - attentive, friendly, and always on hand to keep our drinks topped up, which meant we could completely unwind and enjoy ourselves. The food was equally impressive, absolutely delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that we would highly recommend.

Everything about the boat trip we booked was dreamy from start to finish. We were welcomed on the port by the crew who gave us a helpful briefing before we left the marina was the most attentive throughout the trip! The food and drink package was a great choice! We passed the Benagil Caves, pulled over into a private cove area and were able to enjoy a swim and some paddle-boarding before leaving and then got to enjoy the fun Ringos experience on the trip back to the marina. We had an amazing time and would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a dreamy boat, a great crew and amazing views. 5/5!

We hired the catamaran for the sunset cruise from Albuferia marina. It was the best experience ever. The crew on the boat were very friendly and helpful. The sunset was amazing. I can’t recommend this Catamaran more. Me and my 19 friends had an unbelievable time. It was for my friends hen doo and she said she had the lost amazing experience. We had the spirits open bar and it was all good branded spirits. Drink were lovely. We will be hiring again when we come back to Albuferia. Thanks to Nunu, Marcello, Thomas and Lucas for looking after us so well. Many thanks Helen

Carla and Armando were fantastic hosts. The boat was beautiful and the experience could not have gone smoother, especially considering we had a big number of lads celebrating our friends stag. They both matched the energy of the group, giving us time and space to relax but also joining in on our banter when we were a little more excited. Really nice touch to bring out some snacks and tzatziki! The next time I am heading to Portugal, a trip with Carla and Armando will be the first thing on the itenary. Thank you both!

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.️🇵🇹
