Overall rating
We really enjoyed our trip with David and Julia. Being on the boat, enjoying the sun and cooling off in the sea while anchoring was really nice. At the end it was also possible to see the sundown. Absolutely beautiful for sure, but also a wholesome experience. At all the money was well spent and everybody had a fun day.
Our catamaran trip with the David and Julia was perfect! It was windy the day we went but they were able to make it comfortable for everyone. We were able to explore the beautiful sights of the Alvor area and swim through some caves. I have already recommended them to a friend that wants to visit Portugal. They also provided and delicious lunch. An overall 5/5 experience!!
It was perfect !
Boat trip was a dream, staff was very friendly and we had an amazing time at the caves on paddle boards. Couldn’t recommend enough.
The boat and tour was amazing. We were coming from about 40mins away and they offered to drive us to them once we were in Alvor. Even though we were a bit late they were very hospitable. They were okay with us just chilling on the net and bringing our own drinks and snacks. I would definitely recommend and I really want to go again!
This was definitely a highlight and good start of our trip in the Algarve area! Emma and David were amazing and, as a group of 4 girls, we felt comfortable and safe the whole time. The Catamaran was the perfect size for our group and we extremely appreciated having the boards to go to the caves. 100% recommended!
It was just perfect - boat, crew, communication… highlight of our trip!
Very nice boat & crew! I celebrated my 30th birthday on their boat and I would definitely book them again.
We had the best time! Emma and David were both amazing! The best day out on the water we could have dreamed of!!
Many thanks to Maritta and Theodorus for a wonderful afternoon. The boat was lovely and the journey around Alvor was wonderful. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone seeking to rent a boat in the general Alvor/Portimao area
Nice crew, nice trip, nice day 😊
We had an amazing time with Theodorus and David. The crew are fantastic and it is a great boat. They know the right places to take you. The restaurant at the end based on their recommendation was one of our favourites in the Algarve.
The team were incredibly accommodating. The food provided was perfect! They allowed us to manage the day we wanted, jumping in the sea, using the paddleboards and just generally really fun group. Highly recommend.
One of the best days of our holiday. The skipper and crew are lovely and all 3 families had a day we’ll never forget. Thanks guys.
Theodorus and his crew were amazing! They brought us to a great spot to hangout and swim with calm waters and beautiful views. 100% recommend. Bring some Champagne and enjoy!
We had an amazing time! David was a very friendly skipper and helped us feel welcome and safe out on the water. We had time to relax, enjoy the beautiful coastline scenery, and explore little caves and beaches on paddle boards. Can’t recommend enough!
Theodorus was absolutely brilliant and communicated really well on the day regarding the change of weather. He even suggested delaying our booking into the afternoon in order for us to get better weather and a better experience on the boat - which we definitely did! We were able to get plenty of soft drinks, wine, and sangria on board! It was a lovely experience and I would thoroughly recommend it.
Theodorus Is a super host and me and my family had a wonderful day on his boat. This day was worth every cent. Thank you
Great trip and great people every thing was 10/10

Great experience
Skippers David and Emma gave us a fantastic morning trip. We sailed to the caves and explored them on three SUPs. Wonderful sailing in Portugal. Beautiful surroundings.
Excellent Theo and David! Thank you. 14 friends from Argentina.
Magnificent! Warm welcome, very friendly crew. Nice family outing. 2 paddles available. I recommend ++
Thank you so much ! We had a great time as a family. Looking forward to sailing with you again!
Thank you for this authentic experience! Théodore and David took great care of us. They showed us around the caves and we even got to see dolphins.
It was a fantastic experience! Everyone enjoyed the tour that Captain Rose gave us. Very available to answer questions from the first contact, and super friendly. We feel very comfortable.
Skipers Rosa e Dominic top!
What a wonderful day we had with our family with 4 teenagers aged 16. In the morning the weather was not quite perfect, and in consultation we were able to arrive an hour later. We were received by the captain and his 2 crew members. The welcome, the explanation and the whole day was super relaxing. The captain's stories were inspiring. We have been to beautiful caves where the normal tourist does not come. Really very special. Until next time!
