    Max and Pete were AWESOME. Highlight of our stay in the Algarve region. They told us about history, pointed out landmarks and notable caves, and allowed us to explore some smaller caves on one of their 2 paddle boards. Truly a remarkable experience thanks to Max and Pete. Would book again in a heartbeat.

    Max and Pete were fantastic!!! Highly recommend them and this cruise (10am- 5pm). Very knowledgeable about the shoreline, caves, city. Made it super informative. Snacks and drinks were flowing and great. Route was scenic and we saw multiple dolphins as a bonus. Paddle boarded and walked into the caves. Stopped at a lunch place that had the best fresh fish. What a fantastic perfect day on the yacht! Overall 10/10. Thanks Max and Pete!!

    This was our second year booking a full day on the same boat as we had such a good time last year. We had the same skipper, Max, who is a real gentleman and together with Pete looked after us beautifully. Pete has a vast knowledge of the sealife and surrounding area which was very interesting. They went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable day. They took us to watch dolphins, to some amazing caves that we could paddle board through and snorkel. They even booked a restaurant for us for lunch which we got a water taxi to (which they also arranged) I couldn't recommend this charter highly enough, a really wonderful day. we will definitely be back!

They couldn’t do enough for us and really added to the luxury experience. Stopping for Paddle boarding and snorkelling in beautiful spots. They had lots of information about the coastline and Portugal which was very interesting and looked after us fantastically. We were 3 adults and 2 teenagers and had booked for the full day. We all had a very memorable time and would highly recommend booking, we will definitely book again.

    Very nice boat, comfortable, excellent welcome from Christopher, Max and Tatiana. A 4-hour trip from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. with breathtaking landscapes, a little regret not being able to access the caves because the boat is quite large and on a paddle it's too hectic... A very fun and easy paddle initiation for my children aged 9 and 13 in a very quiet place, a passage in front of beaches where you absolutely have to come back (thanks to Max's tips) and an aperitif at sunset just exotic and restful Thank you all for this fantastic trip

    A great big thank you to Chris and Max, we had the most lovely day. I contacted Chris as I was wanting to scatter my mums ashes in Alvor, Chris was lovely, offered suggestions and helped me plan this special day. On the day Chris and Max were so welcoming and made sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend this gorgeous boat and the wonderful people who will ensure you have the trip of a lifetime. Next time we are here we will definitely be booking another trip. Thank you again, we will remember this day forever.

    While the boat and views were amazing, it was the customer service that really alleviated the experience. We had a really hard time with booking a boat and getting a timely response, but Christopher confirmed it in less than 24 hours and he keeps his calendar updated! The crew was extremely accommodating!! On the day we had a full day booked, the winds wouldn't let us go to Benagil Caves but Max and Christopher found the perfect solution for us! Their hospitality was unmatched and we learned so many fun facts from them. Not to mention, they offered us refreshments and snacks and were quick with the recommendations. The boat was clean and more spacious then we expected. Overall we left extremely satisfied. It was by far the best customer service we experienced in all of Portugal. Thanks guys!!

The itinerary was great, we were able to see the most spectacular spots of the impressive coastline (special thanks to Chris for his skills maneuvering the boat) and went for a swim in a nice bay not as exposed to the wind. Great drinks and food! 100% recommend and we will definitely repeat next summer! Thanks again!
