The boat was a great time made even better by an awesome captain and skipper. Only negative review is poor communication between the person you book with and the captain. We wanted a full day tour and were told to book a half day and we could add on hours if needed. This was never communicated to the captain of the boat and we went back to port after 4 hours. After much discussion the captain was open to continuing the day for two more hours with additional fee.

Such a fun morning for my son’s 21st birthday. Capt Jose and Raphael made it such fun. Speakers for music. Cool box for our beers and paddle boards to visit the caves. Great price and great comms. Would book again.

Absolutely fabulous time. Jose was our captain for the day. Very informative and engaging (even had a bottle of champagne open following friends surprise engagement at the caves). Those little touches made great memories

We had a great day! I had lots of questions about how to get there before the day and all messages were replied to almost straight away. We had such a warm welcome when we arrived, we took food and drink on board with us and they already have a big bluetooth speaker. The fridge on board is very small so we couldn’t fit too much but the inside kitchen stays a good temperature to leave bits inside. They took us to lots of scenic stops - we could jump off and into the sea or they got the paddleboards out and we went into the caves. 100% would recommend, David and Josè were amazing and lots of fun!

Excellent experience on board the boat! The skippers were very accommodating and responsive. We enjoyed our trip to the caves and especially exploring via paddle boat! A beautiful activity, would highly recommend.

A big thanks to Ruben’s team ! We spend a wonderful evening on boat. Very clear information from the beginning to the end, we put our music while degusting chorizo. Even if it was a little bit windy, that found out a way in the bay to be protected from it and we enjoy a wonderful sunset. I will definitely recommend Rubens’ services.

Had a great time on the boat! David was awesome and went the extra mile for us, finding us beautiful little caves, and even going out on the paddle board to take great photos for us. Lovely day in the sunshine!

Amazing day out on this boat - very comfortable, very knowledgeable and good captain, took us to spots away from the crowds to see cool caves and recommended a great lunch stop. Very highly recommend.

Our actual Captain was great, so nice and very helpful. Using this service was not smooth, you didnt communicate with the captain until the day before, he did not have any details and he was just trying to help us have a nice experience. All you really cared about was getting paid. Poor.

Boat Trip Review We were a family of 7 Portuguese people who is used to coming to the Algarve every year. As usual, we like to explore the views of the Algarve coast by sea, so these tours are not new to us. Our overall experience with the catamaran was, sadly, disappointing. - There was no clear direction as to where to meet initially and we ourselves had to ask the day before for the meeting location, how to get a taxi boat, and even where to park. These should have been pre-sent as they are crucial for ensuring an easy start to the day. - Captain and assistant were very inexperienced - it took them nearly 45 minutes to anchor the boat at the end, for instance. - As we hopped on the boat, the kitchen was dirty and trash was spread everywhere. The net at the front of the catamaran, designed specifically for passengers to relax and chill, was old and not safe - By stepping on it, one of the passengers literally opened a whole on the net; the speaker we were given to play music died twice and had to be plugged in and wait to charge. Lastly, there wasn’t a place to store drinks and snacks to keep them cold which is also a regular need of any extended rental; - Captain and assistant started sailing without greeting the group properly (we had to ask their names after starting) and without confirming the itinerary we had agreed upon; - when we noticed that we weren’t going to the Benegil caves, as agreed upon when booking, the crew were very persistent in not changing their initial plans. They had to call their company to double check as they hadn’t heard of any itinerary options; - Paddle boards were available on the boat as we had requested/ paid to use them, but crew said we wouldn’t have time to use them and that we wouldn’t be able to enter the caves. We saw boats 3x our size entering the caves and sailing much faster than us. We don’t think it was lack of time or safety that prevented us from enjoying paddling or visiting the caves, but we rather feel that the crew wasn’t confident in their abilities; - All in all, it was a truly disappointing experience, not only we found way cheaper experiences afterwards, but also that we could have had a much better time (we agreed on caves and paddling and we’ve got none). —Lastly, there was not a meaningful attempt to correct the issues with the experience when we contacted the rental company as their solution was to delay the issue til a future purchase and give a slight discount - On the bright side, the weather was nice and we all love sailing in the algarve, so we tried to enjoying the wonderful views despite all the challenges.

Good experience renting a boat in Portimao. The communication with the company was easy and very clear from the very beginning. In general, the experience was positive, although there were some inconveniences during our trip. The price was quite high if we add the boat, the captain, the fuel and the ferry to get to the boat. Thank you Miguel for your help.

All in all we had a really nice trip with Ruben on the catamaran. We used the included SUP to visit a cave, enjoyed cool drinks and nice weather. The only drawback was that the boat was not fully fit for sailing (Boards against drifting were stuck in the hulls). So if you just want to spend some nice hours on the see, go for it. If you really want to do some sailing, maybe some other boat would be better suited
