After a tragic loss, my wife and i needed some distraction, and what can we say? We had the best two days, thanks to Larissa and Charles! They are really the best, most hospitable and cute loving couple. From the first moment we entered this clean, comfortable and nicely decorated boat, Larissa and Charles made us feel at home. Both of them are incredible good guides who shared history about the area in a funny and interesting way. They are both well informed about everything at the Algarve: the caves, the beaches, coastlines, history and even beyond – we got so many amazing tips for our next days touring this amazing country, too many to discover all of them. Charles had a fantastic playlist onboard, it wasn‘t just perfect music, it also felt thoughtfully chosen to fit the stories and history we were learning about. Thank you for that extra detail. Larissa and Charles served us from the beginning with champagne, wine, snacks and the best charcuterie board you can find. We really enjoyed every single second. We were lucky enough to see some dolphins during our two days on „Grace“. My wife got a calming massage from Larissa that was deeply relaxing and gave her a mental reset afterwards. Charles and Larissa are the kind of hosts that turn a boat ride into a memory you’ll never forget – and even the history of „Grace“ is unique and worth to have a trip on this boat with them. :-) Thank you so much for everything and those two perfect days! Greetings from Luxembourg and keep going on the way you are, guys! Agnes & Gary
Our boat day in the Algarve was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Captain Charlie was the best, so friendly, funny, and full of great energy. From the moment we got on board, he made us feel comfortable and completely safe, even as we cruised through some of the most beautiful caves and rock formations along the coast. You could tell right away that he really knew what he was doing, and he shared so much interesting information about the area while keeping the whole vibe super fun and relaxed. We told him that seeing Benagil Cave was at the top of our list, and he went out of his way to make sure we got the best possible experience there. He timed it perfectly so we could enjoy the cave without big crowds, and it honestly felt magical. He also took us to a few hidden spots we never would have found on our own, each one more stunning than the last! The boat itself was perfect, clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed for a day out on the water. The whole trip felt personal and special, not rushed at all. We laughed, explored, and soaked up the sun while taking in some of the most breathtaking views we’ve ever seen. If you’re thinking about booking a boat tour in the Algarve, do it! He truly made the day unforgettable. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and we’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. I will be making sure to recommend his tour to any of our family and friends that are coming to Lagos, it was so amazing!
We had the absolute pleasure of spending six magical hours aboard Grace, hosted by the incredible Charlie and Larissa — and it was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our time in Portugal. From the moment we stepped aboard, their warmth and hospitality made us feel completely at ease. Grace is a stunning boat—immaculately kept, beautifully styled, and perfectly named. She glides effortlessly along the coast, and with Charlie at the helm and Larissa effortless charm, we felt like we were in the best possible hands. Sailing around the breathtaking coastline of Lagos as the sun began to dip into the horizon was nothing short of spectacular. Every detail was thought through—from the delicious snacks and drinks, to the carefully curated route showcasing hidden coves, dramatic cliffs, and sparkling waters. Charlie and Larissa strike the perfect balance of being professional, relaxed, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun. Their passion for sailing, the sea, and hosting guests shines through in everything they do. Whether you want to swim, sip rosé, snap photos, or simply soak up the views, they’re the perfect duo to make your time on the water feel special. If you’re thinking about booking a boat experience in Lagos—don’t hesitate. Grace is pure grace by name and nature, and Charlie and Larissa are the dream team. We’ll be talking about this sunset sail for years to come.
We had the most incredible day out on the water in Lagos with Captain Charles! From the moment we stepped onto the boat, he made us feel completely comfortable and at home. His warmth, kindness, and easygoing nature set the tone for the entire experience. Captain Charles was not only lovely company, but also a wealth of knowledge. He guided us through the stunning caves and coastlines, pointing out details we never would have noticed on our own. Thanks to him, we got to see everything we had hoped for—and more! Beyond the sightseeing, he gave us plenty of time to simply relax and soak it all in. We were able to sunbathe on the deck, try out paddleboarding, and just enjoy the beauty of the Algarve at our own pace. It felt so special, like the day was tailored just for us. It’s rare to find someone who combines expertise, genuine care, and such a welcoming personality all in one, but Captain Charles does exactly that. This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. If you’re considering a boat day in Lagos, stop searching and book with him. You will not regret it! Couldn’t recommend it more—an unforgettable experience with the best captain we could’ve asked for.
We had the absolute best time on this Bavaria 25 Sport with Captain Charlie at the helm! First of all, Charlie isn’t just a captain – he’s a vibe. Professional? 100%. This guy knows his stuff, handles the boat like it’s an extension of himself, and makes you feel completely safe from start to finish. But here’s the real kicker: he’s also ridiculously welcoming, full of good energy, and just plain fun to be around. Think captain meets host meets stand-up comedian with saltwater in his veins. The boat itself is perfect for exploring the Algarve coast – comfy, sporty, and ideal for diving into those turquoise waters or cruising past the epic cliffs and caves. But honestly, what made it unforgettable was Charlie’s energy. He set the tone for the whole trip: relaxed, friendly, but always on point. If you’re looking for a skipper who’ll make your boat trip not just good but legendary, stop scrolling. Book with Charlie. You’ll get the sun, the sea, the views – and the best captain you could ask for!
We had a great day out in the water with Charlie and Larissa. Not only were they super hospitable and kind, their wit and humour really set the stage for a fun and relaxed day. The initial part of the ride was spent seeing some breathtaking landscapes, cliffs, caves and the beautiful coastline. This experience was as informative as it was entertaining - historical facts punctuated with myths and urban legends, and framed with Charlie's curated background score! We then spent time swimming and paddle boarding (Charlie had to come out and rescue us as we weren't making much progress paddling ourselves). The sun was out and it was an afternoon spent with great, drinks, snacks and company. We felt like we were out with friends! Thank you Charlie and Larissa for a great day and all the wonderful recommendations for others things to do around the Algarve. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend a day out with C and L :D
Its difficult to say what was best today…… The tour, the boat, the historical and fascinating knowledge of our captain, the cliffs, the beautiful weather, the paddle boarding and swim in the bay, the extended sightings of dolphins close up or the culmination of all the above. I suppose the common thread of all these things was the kindness, hospitality and absolute joy of meeting and spending time with Charlie (our captain) and Larissa. They went over and above to give us an unforgettable afternoon on the water. As a family with 2 teenage kids who have visited Lagos many times over the past years, and have chartered many similar vessels, no charter came close to making us feel this welcomed and entertained. If you are looking for a charter, this is the one we would recommend - all made possible by Charlie and Larissa. Thanks for an unforgettable and beautiful afternoon. Christian & Fiona
If you are in the Algarve and searching for a perfect, easy and fun boat day charter look no further. Charlie and Larissa couldn’t have hosted a better boat day experience for us. From the start, they were so welcoming and kind and the process to find the boat was seamless. Charlie was able to provide a ton of fun facts on the areas and caves we toured and brought us to a private beach at the end as well. Not to mention, the boat was spotless and had everything we needed from drinks and snacks to clean towels. We were able to eat lunch at a fantastic seafood spot in town (and we are admittedly food snobs) but this place was incredible! We are so envious of anyone else who has the pleasure of chartering a boat with this kind, relatable and interesting couple. Thank you for making our last day in the Algarve the best day!
We had the best afternoon in Lagos thanks to Charles and Larissa! From the moment we stepped onto the boat, Charles made us feel completely welcome and at home. He’s not just a captain—he’s a fantastic guide who shared so much history and insight about the area in a way that was both interesting and fun. The hospitality was outstanding—thoughtful, warm, and relaxed. We felt so comfortable the entire time. The paddle boards were such a great addition, and Charles even took pictures for us so we could just enjoy the experience. Our trip ran from 2:00 to 5:30, and honestly, it was by far the best day we’ve had in Lagos so far. If you’re looking for a perfect afternoon out on the water, I can’t recommend this enough. Charles and Larissa are the kind of hosts that turn a boat ride into a memory you’ll never forget!
I now see why so many previous reviews rave about this experience—spending time aboard the vessel “Grace” is truly a must do in Lagos. From the moment we set foot on board, Charlie and Larissa welcomed us like old friends, and by the end of the day, they felt like family. We love learning a bit of history while traveling and really enjoyed learning tidbits of info as we sailed along the coast. They took us some of their favorite (and secret!) spots to paddle board as well as kept the wine flowing. We felt so grateful to be able to spend even more time aboard as we were having such a great time and their schedule allowed. This was a charter we didn’t want to end! Can’t thank you all enough for such a spectacular day on the water and memories that we won’t soon forget!
Could not recommend enough, Charles and Larissa were so accommodating. We could not have had a better experience on the day. The boats and facilities were so comfortable and well maintained. We experienced it all, the caves the lagoons and the beauty of the whole cost. Charles was super informative with his knowledge of the coastline and Larissa was such a warm and welcoming host. They were an amazing and beautiful couple with such a beautiful nature. Made us feel super relaxed and comfortable. We loved every single moment of the trip and would 100% recommend booking with them again and again! If you’re looking for comfort, affordability and and a safe day out of the water. This is your boat.
Charlie was a fantastic host. From the point of considering booking to finally booking Charlie was prompt in his communications and I could tell he was going to be great fun. We were a party of 5 with a child and Charlie was nothing but informative, entertaining and super attentive to the whole group throughout. We were treated to beautiful wines and beers snacks and minerals, he was full of local knowledge of the area and spent hours on his paddleboards in the beautiful lagoon he located for us. His wife greeted us on our return and I can truly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had here. Thank you so much Charlie and Larissa. We’ll be back for sure! Anna Dean Rich and Camilla :)
Charles and Larissa are the best kept secret in Lagos for boat tours! We are so happy we came across their listing here and booked a half day trip with them. They were excellent with communication, have an immaculate boat and setup, were the consummate hosts, and had everything we needed for a lovely late morning/afternoon around the coast. Charles is also super well versed on the history of Lagos and the surroundings, and even for residents like us, he managed to surprise us with history and fun facts. In short, do not hesitate to book! We wish we had booked a full day and will look forward to our next boat trip. Thanks again! <3
We celebrated our 1st anniversary on board with Larissa and Charles, and it was the best experience, that we've ever had on a boat. A VERY relaxing massage, champagne, and cute snacks were all included, and they are just the sweetest couple to talk to! We saw caves and grottos, then went to sandbanks in a nearby lagoon. They love what they do, they also love their home city. That makes it very special to go with them and feel thier passion for the area. To top it off though, we saw a pod of dolphins on the way to home as the sun was setting! We couldn't have asked for more. It was truly an evening we will never forget.
We hired a private boat and had an unforgettable experience! The service was outstanding from start to finish, and Charlie and Larissa made sure everything was perfect. The boat was comfortable, clean, and well maintained. They also took us paddle boating, I was a little scared at first, but they reassured me and made me feel so comfortable that I was able to relax and really enjoy it. They even shared all the history of the city and coast, which made the trip even more special. We truly enjoyed every moment on the water and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a special and memorable day.
Charlie and Larissa, thank you for the amazing trip we made today, it was the best birthday I’ve had. For a long time I wanted to make a trip along the beautiful coast, and now it was the day, and we all loved it. Charlie told us a lot about the history of Lagos, and all the bays and caves we visited. We had drinks and snacks, towels after swimming, everything was very well taken care of. My friends, first time visitors to Portugal, were speechles of the views, the scenery, and the kindness and hospitality of Charlie and Larissa. Once again, thank you for making my birthday a day to never forget!
10/10 experience. Charlie and Larissa are incredible. They made our weekend amazing by adding restaurant, beach and city suggestions along with the day on the boat (they were our unofficial tour guides). To add to this, our boat day was the most amazing day of our weekend and made our Algarve experience. The boat is chic and perfect for a couple (or two) or a small family. The food and swim suggestions were catered to the clientele on the boat. Charlie and Larissa are customers first oriented and really tailor the boat day to your preference. Highly recommend and would definitely book again.
Our charter with Charlie and Larissa was nothing short of amazing. They were incredible hosts, personable, professional, and fun! Their love for Portugal and each other was contagious! Charlie knew the perfect spots for the best views. We loved taking the paddle boards to explore the secret beaches and caves. We are still talking about this being our favorite day of our vacation. Our time with this precious couple will be cherished forever. Prayers for much success in business and in life. We can't wait for a repeat!
We had amazing trip! Charles and Larissa were so welcoming and quickly felt like friends. They shared the history of the area, took us to amazing spots, and worked so hard to keep us comfortable. We used the standup paddle boards to explore, and greatly appreciated the snacks and drinks aboard. We had a beautiful day aboard and can’t imagine doing the trip without this experience. Thank you for the memories made and the hospitality shown to us! We cannot wait to come back and will absolutely book again :)
Charles and Larissa were such a wonderful couple and made the whole booking process effortless. The boat was beautiful and perfectly suited for our day. They took us to all the must-see spots around Lagos Bay, then tailored the rest of the trip with a stop at a stunning, peaceful lagoon where we could swim and paddleboard. Charles went above and beyond—not only during the trip, but also by recommending fantastic places for lunch and dinner that we loved. Truly an exceptional experience, highly recommend!
Charlie and Larissa run the most incredible private boat tour in Lagos. Cruising along the Algarve coast was breathtaking, but what made it unforgettable was their warm hospitality and local knowledge. Unlike crowded group trips, this tour felt personal, relaxed, and completely tailored to us. If you want the best way to see the cliffs, caves, and hidden beaches of Lagos, Portugal, don’t miss this private boat tour. It’s truly a highlight of the Algarve and was our favorite experience!
Charlie was the perfect skipper. He was friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, courteous and extremely obliging. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome aboard the boat and did everything possible to make sure our every need was taken care of. I would thoroughly recommend taking a boat charter with Charlie. We would definitely do another charter with Charlie when we are next in Lagos. Thank you Charlie we had a wonderful day enjoying the coast around Lagos with you.
We had the most amazing time. Charlie and Larissa were so accomodating. The boat was booked for my birthday and they put up a cute little birthday banner. The sunset was stunning and so was the coastline, Charlie was full of local knowledge. I will never forget this trip as the team helped my fiance pop the question at sunset! The whole trip was amazing and It could not have been more perfect! What an amazing way to finish our trip to Portugal.
What an amazing experience with Charlie and Larissa, fantastic couple really welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and couldn’t do enough for us. I booked as surprise for my wife and daughter and the experience made our holiday! They felt like family by the end of the trip and everything was 5 star, can highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking. Thanks guys and see you next year! ❤️ Sean, Terri and Lauren xx
We had a fantastic trip with Charlie on this boat and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a private charter. Perfect for our family of 5. Charlie was an excellent skipper, taking us to less crowded places which suited us with lots of beautiful stops for swimming, snorkelling and paddle boarding. He and his wife both lovely hosts and will definitely be booking again in the future. We loved it! x
Charles and Lari are excellent hosts and welcomed us for an incredible boat trip. Everything was perfect — punctuality and attention to detail are natural traits of this couple. They were very attentive, serving us snacks and drinks during the trip, and made us feel completely at ease to enjoy paddle boarding and swimming in the cove. I highly recommend taking a tour with them!!
Absolutely stunning day spent with Charlie. Myself and my 3 sons had the best time ever. A great day out, Charlie did everything to make our day special, and he made sure we had a perfect trip aboard his lovely boat. Would recommend him to everyone, and will certainly catch up with him again in the future! Thanks Charlie!!!
We had a wonderful morning and afternoon exploring the beautiful Algarve coastline. Charles and Larissa were amazing hosts, they made sure we had everything we needed, gave very interesting information of the history of the region, and were just a fun duo to hang out with. We will cherish these memories forever.
Charles and Larissa were wonderful hosts and really made my mum’s birthday surprise special! They were more than happy to accommodate all our requests and their local knowledge made the tour all that more interesting. Next time we’re back in the area we’d love to come back for a sunset cruise!
Fantastic morning with my family, we thoroughly enjoyed every second, of our trip, seeing the caves and paddleboarding in picturesque locations. Charles and Larissa really made us feel like royalty, and cared about our experience with them. This really made the trip very special. Thank you 😊
If there was option to write 200*’s I would give it. Charles; it’s a blessing to be accepted for your tour. Tour guide, beautiful boat and the best chats. Highly recommend to book with Charlie & Larissa .. better than the titanic .. but you will see it on the tour
We had a wonderful experience! Everything was perfect from start to finish. Charlie and Larissa are truly amazing — so kind, attentive, and welcoming. They made our day very special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended! 🌟
Charles and Larissa were brilliant hosts and made our day perfect. Nothing was too much and they were very knowledgeable about the local area. The whole family have said it was there best day of the holiday. We all highly recommend, thank you both.
I wish there was an option for more than 5 stars. Charlie and his wife were AMAZING. This was the best day on the water I could have imagined for my girlfriend’s birthday. Couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable experience on board their boat.
It was perfect trip for me and my family. Charles did his best to show us the beauty of the cost neat Lagos. All we need was on the boat. I really recommend his boat and him and his wife hospitality.
We had a wonderful tour with Charley on Tuesday, October 14th, 2025. We drove the coast towards Sagres fantastic weather and will definitely come back. Thank you Claudia & Wulf , Fiona & Mike
Charles hosted my wife and I for half day. We had an absolute blast. He’s a phenomenal host. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the area and a pleasure to hang with. 5 stars.
We had a fantastic time on this boat, great views of ponte piedade, Charles and Laurissa were extremely nice and attentive. Highly recommend if you’re in Lagos!
We enjoyed the sea trip, both in terms of the surrounding views and Charles' hospitality and professional attitude. We are very satisfied.
Familie of 4, we had a great time on the Water, Charles and Larissa are great hosts, would and will definitely book it again. Thank you.
Great boat ride- Charles and his wife were the perfect hosts! Thank you!
Fantastic boat trip with great service!
Sadly, we had poor sea conditions, so Charles and Larissa had to cancel. Instead of waiting for a refund, they refunded us directly to our bank account on the day right away! Outstanding customer service . See you next time guys!
100000% recommend! My girlfriend and I did this trip today (13th August), and while she was initially nervous about going, everything changed the moment we met Charlie and his lovely partner. They instantly made us feel welcome, relaxed, and completely at ease. We kicked things off with a glass of delicious wine while Charlie gave us a tour of the marina, sharing fascinating bits of history along the way. Then we headed out to explore stunning caves, and Charlie made sure we sat right at the front of the boat for the best views. They explained the stories and names behind each cave with so much warmth and detail. The boat itself? SUPER comfortable, it has everything you could possibly want: wine, changing rooms, great showers (perfect after a swim), and plenty of space to relax. We even visited a secluded beach where they kept us in the shallow water so my girlfriend, who’s not a confident swimmer, felt safe. They patiently taught us how to paddleboard and were always nearby for support. Oh, and the playlist on board? Absolute vibe. They’ll even share it with you if you ask. On top of that, they gave us amazing recommendations for hikes, restaurants, and things to do in Lagos. Spending the morning with them was such a privilege — we’d do it again in a heartbeat. P.S. Charlie and his partner are fantastic photographers, so expect plenty of Instagram-worthy shots! Thanks, guys, for such a wonderful experience!
We were a Family of 4 my kids are considered Adults the boat was big enough for us and super maintained. Charles and Larisa were Amazing always with a smile and trying to give their guests more than 100 percent. The tour was very interesting Charles is very knowledgeable of the History of Algarve and the topography of the Coast of the area. We wanted to reach with the boat beautifull swimming spots unreachable from the coast and Charles met our expectations. I recommend this boat and its crew Charles and Larissa
We had a fantastic morning!! Everything was perfect and we would absolutely book again if we are coming back to Lagos. We would definitely recommend this trip!
A beautiful charter by beautiful friendly people. Thank you so much. Everything was superb! Thanks Charles and Larissa.
I wish I could give them 6 stars. Charles and Larissa are the most amazing. They are a super sweet couple that make sure you are well taken care of while also giving you your space. Charles is an excellent captain taking you to all the places you want to see and even some you didn’t know you needed. They provide all the drinks, towels, information, and extras that you need. Larissa is even a physiotherapist and gave my wife an amazing massage while on the water. We did this to celebrate our one year anniversary and it was the most fun we have had while in Portugal. I cannot recommend them enough!
Long story short, this was the best experience we had throughout our trip to Lagos. Our itinerary kind of relied on what kind of trip we were in a mood for, but with many recommendations and tips from the Captain, Charles himself - what a great guy, who absolutely loves what he’s doing and you really do feel his passion!!
The best boat day the four of us have ever had. Charlie and Larissa were incredible from start to finish - the boat was amazing, the drinks, the snacks, the music, the snorkels, the Padel boards, everything was 10/10. Would recommend to everyone that comes to Portugal. We hope to see them again soon, as they were so lovely. Thank you Charlie and Larissa for having us.
We had an amazing afternoon boat trip with Charles around the beautiful Lagos coastline! Despite the strong winds, Charles made sure we had a smooth and memorable experience. He took us to some stunning spots and even brought us to a sheltered area where we could enjoy stand-up paddleboarding — such a great touch! Charles was a fantastic host: calm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the sea. His local insights added so much to the trip, and his attention to detail made us feel comfortable and welcome throughout. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. If you’re in the Algarve and want to explore the coast in a unique and personal way, I can’t recommend this experience enough. We’d definitely do it again!
I had an unforgettable experience on a sunset boat ride with Charles. The views were absolutely breathtaking — the sky was painted with shades of orange, pink, and gold as the sun dipped below the horizon. Charles was the perfect host: friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everything was smooth and relaxing from start to finish. His attention to detail and genuine passion for the water made the entire trip feel special. It was the perfect combination of peace, beauty, and great company. I’d definitely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a magical evening on the water.
We had a fantastic trip this morning with Charles. We could not recommend enough and if we return to Lagos we would100% book with him and Larissa again. What a great day thank you
A great half day with a polite and knowledgeable skipper Charles. We got to see the traditional Algarve cliffs from the sea side, with informative additional explanations. Afterwards we were transported to a nice lagoon where we could swim, paddle on SUP-boards and enjoy complimentary drink, including champagne. All in all, a memorable experience, highly recommended.
Wonderful outing with Charlie! I highly recommend!
Unforgettable Day on the Algarve Coast with Charlie and His Crew! We had the absolute best time out on the water with Charlie and his fantastic crew! From the moment we stepped aboard, we were greeted with warm smiles, great energy, and a real passion for sharing the beauty of the Algarve. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped, and the entire trip felt relaxed yet expertly run. Charlie knew all the best hidden spots along the coast – stunning cliffs, secret coves, and crystal-clear waters. The paddle boarding was a highlight! Whether you were a total beginner or more experienced, it was an amazing way to explore the coastline up close. The crew made sure everyone felt safe, included, and had a blast. They were attentive without being overbearing, and the whole vibe was just right – friendly, fun, and professional. If you’re looking for a truly memorable experience on the Algarve, we can’t recommend Charlie and his crew enough. Thank you for such a special day – we’ll be returning next summer!
We had an incredibly nice tour of the Lagos coastline with Charles & Larissa. They were very sweet and I enjoyed the massage, thank you. We were very happy and thoroughly recommend this boat to others.
Charlie and Larissa were AMAZING! My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time on board with them. Paddle boards, snacks, beautiful boat - can’t ask for much more! Definitely would recommend to anyone who visits Lagos!!
Was amazing! Charlie sorted everything and the family loved it!
This was an amazing experience. Charlie went over and beyond do do everything I wanted for my birthday. Received complimentary champagne and wine and a MASSAGE on the boat. This couldn’t have gone any better. Thanks Charlie!!!
A lovely relaxing trip out with Charles and Larissa! Went paddle boarding at the sandbank and chasing fish. a really friendly, well hosted and relaxing afternoon. thoroughly recommend!
We had an absolutely amazing experience on the boat! Charles was incredibly friendly, professional, and made the whole day feel effortless. He took us to some truly stunning spots we wouldn’t have found on our own, and the whole experience was both relaxing and unforgettable. The boat was in perfect condition and everything was well-organized. Thank you, Charles, for such a special memory — we’d 100% recommend this experience to anyone!
Our experience with Charlie and Larissa onboard their lovely boat was brilliant. Really lovely hosts who genuinely want you to have the best day (which we did!). We had never been to Alvor before and wanted to see so we headed there first for some supping and swimming near the sandbanks. A quick stop in Alvor but we were keen to get back to the boat to enjoy! Then we headed to see some of the caves and coves around Lagos and enjoyed more time on the sup boards and swimming. The boat is very comfortable and our teens loved sunbathing on the front as we cruised along listening to some great music admiring the wonderful views. If you want a special experience for a small group or family then do it!
Our family of five just spent the morning with Charlie on his beautiful boat. We had the most wonderful time! He was very knowledgeable about the landscape and history of the area and took us to an area where no one else ended up being so we had our own “private island” on a sandbar for awhile. The boat was very clean and well laid out. If we ever come back, we will definitely be booking a trip with him again!
It was a pleasure being on the boat today. Charles is a great host.
we had a fantastic morning trip out with Charles and Larissa! A warm welcome, great boat thoughtfully stocked with drinks and nibbles. we benefited from Charles’ interesting local commentary on the trip out, stopped to play around on the paddle boards and have a bit of a swim and the like. really pleasant chatting to Charles and Larissa, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home and enjoy the trip. would thoroughly recommend
Charles was the best Captain we could have ever wished for. The time on Board was an amazing experience and he showed us so many beautiful places. I highly recommend him and bis boat to everyone! 11/10

The waters and caves were awesome. It was 100 percent worth it to book with them. Super super worth it and awesome!!!
We had a wonderful afternoon on the beautiful boat of Charles and Larissa. We admired the stunning coastline near Lagos and explored the caves on the paddleboards. Enjoyed some wine and snacks. Charles and Larissa were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. Thank you!
We loved our day on the boat with Charlie and Larissa. We got to hear about the history of Lagos and saw amazing grotto’s. Then we paddled with sup boards and did some snorkling.

This boat was stunning! Charles and Larissa were so friendly and extremely attentive to every need of ours. They truly thought of everything and made it the highlight of our trip! He also gave us great recommendations for the following days. The boat was very spacious, and we were very very comfortable. We will absolutely be booking again on our next trip to Lagos!
Charlie was awesome. Very knowledgeable about Algarve and surrounding area. He took us to the best spots and catered to our every need. He always was ready to take a pic or offer food/drink. Anytime I’m in the area I’ll book with him again!
Wonderful experience. The boat was so nice. Charles and his wife were very welcoming and made sure we had a good experience. It is highly recommended!
Charles was a great host and gave us a very memorable experience tailored to our interests. He is very friendly and out going, and has a lot of knowledge of the area. He was very welcoming and made sure we always had a cold drink and snacks. He’s got a wicked stereo too.
We spent a wonderful day with Charles on his boat. Communication with him was very easy, and he was on time at the meeting point. He was very considerate, very professional, and always looking out for us. We visited Lagos coast and the caves. After we went to practise snorkeling and SUP. Highly recommended. Many thanks Charles! Sofia and family.
A top-notch couple who are passionate about their work. Charles is an extremely skilled captain, and with his wife, they make a perfect team. We had a wonderful day with them; we're glad to have met them. Keep up the good work, I'd say. I'm curious about their next boat. And probably until next time.
A superb experience with Charlie! We discovered magnificent landscapes, enjoyed the sea and really loved this moment on the boat!! Excellent appetizers, accompanied by drinks and above all, without forgetting the good humor of our captain ?✈️ This gentleman was magnificent! We were with our 6-month-old little girl, he knew how to put us at ease and bring her a little life jacket! ? I highly recommend him! ???
Today, as a family of four, we went on a tour with Charles and Larissa. From the welcome to the farewell, everything was perfect. After setting off from the port in Lagos, Charles told us a lot about the history of the city and the Algarve, all in a truly entertaining way. We then explored the beautiful coastline around Lagos, and Charles guided us to the most beautiful spots. In a sheltered bay, we were able to swim, snorkel, and use the SUP boards. Larissa took excellent care of us the entire time. We were offered drinks and snacks. Towels were waiting for us when we got out of the water. Larissa and Charles were wonderful hosts who took absolutely fantastic care of us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on board, and thanks to our hosts, it was a fantastic tour for us. Unfortunately, the time went by far too quickly. Thank you both again. You are fantastic, keep up the good work!!! We wish you all the best and would come back on board with you anytime... THANK YOU!!!
Our experience on the boat was fantastic! We truly had the time of our lives. The boat trip was without a doubt the highlight of our holiday. From the interesting stories about the history of Lagos to the visit to a beautiful private beach where we could relax in peace, it was perfect. The skipper and his wife were incredibly friendly and hospitable. They made us feel immediately at ease. Everything was perfectly arranged, even the snacks and drinks were delicious. The boat itself was comfortable and well-maintained, and the music system created the perfect atmosphere on board. In short: we 100% recommend this experience. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely do it again.
Charles was very welcoming and warm. He was able to adapt to our preferences and we had a great afternoon with music and a good atmosphere.
A fantastic experience with Charlie (the skipper), always attentive to any request, an unbeatable experience for the price. We will definitely come back, and don't hesitate to hire him; you won't regret it!
It was a fantastic day at sea. Charlie and Marisa were very friendly and accommodating. They made sure we had a wonderful day. They were very kind, and we had some lovely conversations. To top it all off, we were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins. Highly recommended skipper!
From the moment we arrived on the boat, we noticed how clean and comfortable it was. Charles and Larissa welcomed us warmly, were pleasant, and very open. They shared a bit of Lagos' history while we admired beautiful cliffs. The space was perfect for our family of four.
Thank you so much, Charlie! It was a fantastic trip. We had a lot of fun and saw many amazing spots. Communication was very quick and direct. All information and coordination were correct! We were on board with two adults and three children. The boat was a good size for our group. Thank you so much... We'll be back! Best, Michael
A huge thank you to Charles and his wife for this wonderful afternoon on their boat! Their warm welcome and kindness immediately put us at ease. They are adorable, always attentive, and we wanted for nothing. Every little attention, every kind word made this experience even more enjoyable. Even though we speak very little English, we managed to communicate simply and naturally, which really made the difference. The boat was impeccable, extremely clean, and perfectly as described. Thank you both again, and if we return to the region, we will definitely contact you again!
