    My wife and I had a great day on board Mrs Interesting. Would highly recommend. We chose the 5 hour trip which was perfect to see all the caves and get enough time at anchor to relax and do some swimming before getting showered and going back to the marina. The crew on board was fantastic. Maria was great, very attentive. Service and food was great. Daniel was a great captain, was also very informative and able to the boat right into the caves. Hope to be back soon.

    Our family of 6 with children aged 11 to 18 thoroughly enjoyed our experience on the brand new yacht Mrs. Interesting. The beautiful coastline of the Algarve was presented to us in an entirely new light. Our skipper, Diego’s skill and expertise shone through immediately. We explored the caves of the coast and were all extremely impressed with Diego’s management and control of the boat. We were able to get inside and within touching distance to many of the caves and took amazing photos of the various rock formations. Diego also managed to locate a pod of dolphins which turned into an unexpected highlight of the journey. We were very impressed with his respect for the animals, cutting the engine when approaching close to them. We took a yacht trip before on a larger Sunseeker boat and did not nearly get as close to the caves as we did with Diego, rendered possible by Mrs. Interesting being more nimble and Diego’s skill. The attention to detail was second to none, the personalisation of the towels was a nice touch and we could play music on board via Bluetooth - all our needs were met and exceeded by the crewman on board. We stopped multiple times at the best swim locations picked out by Diego. The kids were delighted by the snorkelling equipment and paddleboard on board. The provided sandwiches and finger food were delicious and our champagne glasses were constantly attended to. Overall, the relatively high expectations of every member of the family were exceeded! Watching the sunset on the yacht with all the family was a lifetime memory for sure. Could not recommend more.
