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.

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!

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!

We made a short trip by sea to see dolphins but they were not there, it is the law of nature. Then, the major part in the Ria which offers a multitude of places to stop. Armando does his best to satisfy our desires.

Great advice from the skipper on what to see. He assured us that we can choose where we want to sail to, but recommended a great trip to Benagil caves and a private beach. Would recommend this itinerary
