We hired a boat from Patrice and Francisco, and they were a great team from start to finish. Our group of six included two older ladies, one of whom has Parkinson’s, and they both felt safe and well looked after throughout the trip. Despite the low water level, we all worked together to board and disembark safely. The boat itself was very spacious and comfortable perfect for our nostalgia trip, which went exactly to plan. Having a toilet onboard was a great bonus! We toured the coastline, took in many beautiful sights, and even had a lovely swim near the caves. I also really appreciated going to the fuel station at the end of the trip to see the genuine fuel cost—this was reassuring after less transparent experiences with other rentals. A small tip: it’s best to take cash for the deposit. I would definitely hire from Patrice again 100%!

Great communicator, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The boat was in great condition and went beautifully. We saw dolphins which was wonderful and had a great time exploring the coastline and further out. The only thing I'd change is having to go and refuel in-person at the end of the trip - would have been better if the cost of this was simply deducted from the deposit. Thanks v much!

My family of 5 went out with Patrice for full day boat trip to celebrate my daughter's 16 Bday. He was extremely courteous and accommodating our request. Took us out to different spots to swim a bit . My 3 kids loved the towable tube! I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy the beautiful coast of 🇵🇹 ! Thank you Patrice!

We loved the boat which was spotlessly clean, very well maintained, very safe and big enough for 6 people. Patrice was great with communication and answered all questions. Fridge is big for drinks and food also had a little freezer for ice, porta loo very clean and good storage space. Loved the sun bed at front. You must bring plastic plates, cups and cutlery if having food and drinks. For a day is worth it as you can see the Algarve coast with the amazing caves.

Great service, very friendly and very helpful. I must say as I only speak English and our boat guide only spoke French and Portuguese we did need to translate. However this did not take away from the experience or the fact the boat was outstanding! Fun fast and easy to drive!

I had a great experience renting this boat. Patrice had excellent communication throughout the process. I originally booked (without a skipper), but we had to cancel the first day due to bad weather. Patrice responded quickly, and we were able to reschedule for a better day with no hassle. The handover was smooth with Joaquin, even though we had a bit of a language barrier—it all worked out just fine. Would definitely recommend

The GPS system was faulty & therefore made for unsafe navigation of the coastline. There was poor communication, as the owner speaks French & a very small amount of English. The guy who helps sort the boat also only speaks French or Portuguese so no safety information could be discussed prior to departure.

Our group of 8 had a really great time with Patrice! I would definitely recommend for a day boat tour, he was very attentive and made sure we had the best possible day (even by extending our original renting time to show us his favorite spot around). Nice trade off of privacy for your group and good fun in the sea!

We rented Patrice's boat for a day and were not disappointed. The boat has everything you need for a day at sea, including a toilet and a refrigerator. Unfortunately, the inflatable buoy was broken at the time, so we couldn't use it. Many thanks to Patrice, who was very kind and helpful.

A fantastic boat for enjoying a few hours of sailing along the Algarve coast. It has a small cabin with a refrigerator and bathroom. The owner is attentive, friendly, and gives you directions and recommendations on what to see. I will definitely return.

We rented a boat for 8 people (4 adults, 3 teenagers, and 1 child). The overall experience was very pleasant: easy booking, warm welcome, quick start, clean and comfortable boat, and a trouble-free outing. The only negative point: the equipment conformity with the advertisement. Note: the optional buoyancy aid, the refrigerator, and the showers were not working. This didn't prevent our outing, but it deserves an update to be fully satisfied. In summary: a very good time spent with the family, but one area that needs improvement regarding the equipment conformity to ensure a perfect experience.

It was a dream. Thank you, Patrice, for making our vacation an adventure. We were able to anchor and swim on secluded beaches with the fantastic boat. We explored the beautiful coast of Portugal and even saw dolphins. There was nothing missing on board, and everything was well explained. Thank you, Marco

Great afternoon with Patrice and his skipper. Patrice is passionate and professional, as is his skipper. The boat is pleasant for sailing offshore to see dolphins or to visit the caves along the coast. We had a beautiful afternoon and finished with a sunset at the summit. ? Thank you again, we recommend it and we will definitely be back next year.

We had a wonderful day. The skippers were also very friendly and told us a lot about the area. The water was rough, but they were well prepared for that. During the trip, the skipper also took photos for us and sent them to us. If I'm ever in Portimao again, I will definitely sail with Patrice!
