About the experience
Your adventure begins in Faro aboard the Rodman 10.4 motorboat, a spacious and comfortable yacht that was fully renovated in 2023 and equipped with top-of-the-range Raymarine electronics. As you depart the marina, the boat first glides through the peaceful channels of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, where calm waters, birdlife, and golden sandbanks create a stunning natural setting.
As you navigate through the lagoon, you’ll pass traditional fishing boats, oyster farms, and some of the Algarve’s most famous barrier islands, including Ilha Deserta and Ilha do Farol. These islands are known for their untouched beaches and crystal-clear waters, offering the perfect opportunity to stop for a swim or simply enjoy the scenery from the deck.
After exploring the lagoon, the experience continues offshore where the Atlantic opens up before you. Here you’ll feel the true freedom of the ocean as the boat cruises along the Algarve coastline, offering incredible views back toward the islands and the mainland. With more time available, the itinerary can be adapted to your preferences, whether you want to relax, swim, paddle, or simply enjoy the journey.
What makes this trip stand out is the authentic local experience provided by your skipper. Carlos has spent more than three decades navigating these waters and has a deep personal connection with the islands and fishing culture of the region. His knowledge allows guests to explore places that typical tours often miss.
This longer private charter is ideal for those who want a more complete Algarve boating experience — combining nature, relaxation, and the excitement of open sea cruising in one unforgettable day!
