Rented a charter boat including skipper for 3 hours. Friendly skipper but unfortunately only speaking portugese. The boat we rented (for 7 people) had only 2 seats, there was a space to lie down in front but not very practical or comfortable. Dissapointment was that the slogan on the website: ‘yes we visit the caves’ means they only pass by them from a distance, they do not have a licence (like almost every other boatrental) to visit in the caves. Quite misleading I think. …

I must say that renting a boat was something that I was a bit scared of, for two main reasons: 1) Because I had no much experience on handling one by myself regardless having a licence and 2) Because it wasn't my property. But guess what: this ended up being the best day of my summer holidays in the Algarve! The employees were very comprehensive when I told them about my concerns and even though the company itself offered me the possibility of taking a licensed yatchman to come with us, they encouraged me to take the wheel and quickly taught me how to control the boat. Well, the rest is history; for a full day we visited some of the most beautiful caves of the coastline and swam in the hot water of the Algarve! Besides the great speed of the boat, I think the fact we had music aboard made the whole experience even better! I am very grateful for the sympathy and dedication of the whole staff in providing us the best day possible! Special thanks to João and Pedro! Definitely coming back next summer!…

Very good staff took care of our group of 10 people. The boat was very clean and stocked with tapas and beer, wine (for a small extra). Visited the caves nearby. A perfect day in Portimao !
