From start to finish, this was an incredibly successful and exciting experience. Highly recommend! Captain Lourenco Cavaleiro and sailor Salvador Cavaleiro were fantastic throughout. They made sure we saw all the key sites, kept everyone comfortable, and created a really fun vibe on board while remaining professional and informative. Joao made the booking process incredibly easy, with great communication throughout. Any date changes were handled without any issues, which made organising our shoot stress-free. The boat was in pristine condition and provided the perfect setting for our Campaign photoshoot. Everything was clean, well maintained, and ready for us on arrival. Overall, an absolute no-brainer for future shoots or boat hire. A huge thanks to Joao, Captain Lourenco, and Salvador—we wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Amazing trip. 27 blokes on a stag. Staff were great and so were the drinks. We were lucky enough to see dolphins too. Thank you

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

Amazing experience - the boat was even more impressive than looked in the pictures and Carlos was a fantastic host. Would recommend to anyone - we’d never chartered a boat online before but it couldn’t have been easier!
