boat hire in Portimão · Beneteau — First Class 8 (1989)

Lovely boat, Jose was a fantastic skipper dealing with troubling weather but still making the best of it

Amazing from start to finish. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!

Great day out with Jose. We did a lot of great sight seeing, swimming off the boat, canoeing and sailing along the Algarve coast from Ferragudo to Lagos. Jose is a great host for a great day. Well worth the money.

Our skipper Ruben was fantastic. His skill and experience of the boat and ocean are top quality. He made our day special.

Ruben, the skipper, is incredibly nice and friendly and he really knows what he is doing. The boat is in a good state. I had a phantastic day on the water. Absolutely highest recommendation!

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. A great skipper.

Ruben & Claudia were great hosts! Super nice and genuine people who drove us to the best cave we could have asked for. It was truly magical and not crowded at all which was really important for us!They also gave us their Padling board to swim to the beach & had a box with cold drinks! All in all - AMAZING! Make sure to get a waterproof phone case for photos & enjoy! :)

Ruben our skipper made everything he was fab, lovely time! Loved it all

Ruben was fantastic for our day out on the Algarve. He was very responsive and made sure we were comfortable the entire trip. We had a great sail, a delicious lunch and a very fun day on the SUPs through the caves. Highly recommend for a memorable day on the water!

Ruben is a wonderful host. A warm welcome, correct communication and a brief explanation. Ruben was all the time standby during our sailtrip. The boat is well equipped for some daysailing.

What an amazing experience. Ruben the skipper was an absolute pro from start to finish. He was so welcoming (even helping with a birthday surprise) and really couldn't be faulted in any way. I would not hesitate to book again.

We had a nice trip and Ruben picked us up at our house. Unluckily we had a crowdie day.

Just found out I've gotten a message that says we didn't review our trip so here goes. Had a lovely day with Ruben back in '21 on the boat. Saw a lot of boobs on the beaches we passed by, defo recommend.

The boat is nice and is perfect for a day trip around the coast. Is nice to sail with and functional. Being a boat from 90s does not have all the latest equipments but nontheless is super fun to sail with!

What can I say about Ruben? Ruben had excellent communication. He answered every question before meeting. We had one incident where we reserved a motor boat at the beginning of our voyage. I guess something went wrong with the motor, days before meeting up. He found us solution the same day. Which was a sail boat and it was cheaper than the original price! Captain Savior! I was so worried that we would have to cancel the trip and find something else to do. Ruben is really soft spoken, funny and intelligent individual. Was one the best skippers we've ever had! He let us drive the boat while he was adjusting the sails. He had a speaker for music, so we got to listen music while sailing. He helped take pictures of us. While showing us the 3 or 4 landscapes he took us to, he would explain some of the history behind the land. So it was a nice to have a combination of learning and having fun. Once we got off he recommended some very nice restaurants in the area since we were visiting from out of town. We had a blast! I would definitely recommend Ruben whether if your with a group of friends or on a family vacation with children. Thank You Ruben and we will definitely will be back!

Ruben is very reactiv for the reservation. He answered all questions we asked. He's also a good person very kind, quiet & friendly. I recommend him for a family trip with old people to enjoy the landscape and take time for that. He proposed us to put our music on the trip. It was really windy so we cannot sail far away from the cost but the weather cannot be ordered. He's also fluent in english. The sailing ship is perfect for a day trip for 4 people. Thank you Ruben, I wish you all the best.

Ruben is friendly and answers quickly to your questions below. Only issues were with a missing battery and a misunderstanding on how to exit the harbor. The boat is ok for people that wants to enjoy a sail without spending much, although I think it was a bit expensive for her overall status.

Great day on the boat with Ruben. It was very windy but we travelled from Alvor to a secluded bay near Portimão where we swam and visited the nearby beaches. Ruben is a great host, very relaxed and provided us with inflatables and a paddle board to enjoy the water. Would definitely recommend for great value for money. Thanks!

We spend a super journey with Ruben and Antonio! The sailing time is not missing, and they are flexible to go wherever you want! The team is discrete and professional! This trip is really to recommend! Sandro and Julia

We had an unforgetable sunset-Trip with this beautiful sailboat. Ruben and Nuno are the best! They do everything that you have a good time. They are very sympathetic and professional. After few minuts we felt like hanging out with friends, but they also give us our privacy to enjoin the trip. Thank you for everything, you made the day for us perfect.

Ruben is very friendly and very nice, but the boat is in poor condition. 275 euros was too much for a boat in such condition

Awesome day out with Ruben and Nuno. We checked out the caves west of Praia da Rocha, got a sailing lesson and had a refreshing swim in the ocean to cool down. Highly recommended. Muito Obrigado guys!

The trip was a smash, highly recommend. We paddled in and out of caves on the included paddle board at the Piedade point. Be ware of the shallow areas at the marina bay - odiaxere river -- I recommend using a marine gps app.

Ruben was a brilliant host, picking us up from our apartment at a time of our choosing and dropping us off afterwards. His boat was perfect for a relaxing day along the coast, and couldn't have been more accommodating to our needs. Would definitely use again

We had a great day, thanks Ruben. After a few issues finding our hotel, the actual trip itself was great and Ruben couldn't do enough for us. Highlight being the Kayaking to the beach

Ruben and his partner were lovely and took us on a really enjoyable trip along the Algarve coast. Their boat is based in Portimao but they came to pick us up from Lagos which was great. We swam at deserted beaches and enjoyed a few beers on the boat. It was a lovely relaxing afternoon. Thanks again!

Ruben and his sailing boat was really good. We had a lovely day on his boat. He made us feel very welcome. He has shown us various towns along the coast during our trip. It was a perfect relaxing day to spend with family on board. I would highly recommend Ruben and his very comfortable sailing boat. Value for money and a must do activity. MS

This was the first time I’d used click and boat but it was so easy and everything went as planned. The guys at click and boat were very helpful and Ruben, the boat, couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to meet him. Portimão was an excellent location to sail from, having an amazing coastline and plenty of marinas close enough to visit. I’ll certainly be using click and boat again in the future. Many thanks for a great service.

Thank you, Rubén, for making our day on the boat incredible! From the very first moment, your good vibes, willingness, and constant smile made all the difference. You made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and well taken care of at all times. It was an experience I would definitely repeat. Thanks again!

Thank you to José for his kindness and his great willingness at all times: A wonderful day THANK YOU!!!

Excellent boat only for beginners who want to practice sailing. The structure is old and maintenance should be improved.

Very nice experience on Rubén's sailboat! The equipment is a little basic (depth sounder, GPS, VHF, cartography) but does not prevent pleasant navigation. Very warm welcome and flexibility from the owner.

5 star team. They were quick to communicate, accessible when booking and treated us very well. We did it without a skipper and everything went well. I recommend it.

There were 6 of us friends on board this boat. Everything was perfect from start to finish: when we encountered problems, they were resolved very quickly. The welcome on the boat and throughout the tour was exceptional. A big thank you to José and Ruben for their sympathy and kindness. We had a great time, which I highly recommend!

Jose was very friendly, competent and helpful. The trip was nice, thank you!

It was great that we were given the option at such short notice to rebook the day due to our son's illness. That would be the 5 stars. The briefing and handover by Jose was also great, but also 5 stars. However, the boat itself does not match the photos on Click a Boat. The main sail is missing, the fog sail is badly damaged. Most recently, the engine sputtered when entering the port. The boat itself is not in good condition. Hence two stars deduction. The experience for my family was still great.

It has been incredible, a unique moment. When I return to Albufeira I will try to book again to enjoy it once more.

Ruben is a very kind person. Everything was perfect. I recommend it without a doubt.

It has been a magnificent day!!! Bruna, our skipper, has made us have a wonderful day of sailing. He has taken us through some beautiful coves near Portimao. The boat, a small great sailboat, great! Thanks to Bruna and Miguel for this incredible day and sorry for the mistake.

All very well. Bruna super friendly!!

A great experience...we had a great time! Bruna has been a fantastic employer, I will definitely repeat!

Small boat but makes fun We enjoyed

The boat ride was wonderful. We were 5 people plus a patron, Ruben who was very professional and very friendly. I recommend you follow their suggestions and recommendations at all times. I highly recommend it!!

Afternoon very well spent! The skipper was very friendly, he noticed that we were interested in sailing and made sure to let us participate in all the activities. We didn't know Ruben personally but all the communication we had was friendly, fun and at the same time professional. On repeat!

Fabulous family experience, with the full commitment and professionalism of skipper Rúben, which made this day even more pleasant. To repeat!

We had a great day. Rubén was very nice and pleasant with us. The only thing we would have needed a bathroom. Thank you very much for Sailing Day ⛵

Ruben was a fantastic host, friendly correct adventurer rented us the boat for 4 days with total freedom and confidence, highly recommended for initiation to navigation without a skipper. 100% recommended and flexible

Ruben was very kind to us. He explained all the characteristics of the boat to us at the beginning and gave us directions to have a good day. I highly recommend it.

The boat is fine for a walk or an excursion but not for a cruise or for an overnight stay. It is dirty, the probe does not work, genoa without reel, without documentation on board, ..

Ruben and Nuno were very friendly and accommodating. We were scheduled to stay 24 hours on the boat but Ruben offered to stay for a few more nights on the boat for free. The caves they took us to visit were magnificent and we were able to tour them with the paddle. Obrigado Ruben é Nuno

We spent an incredible day with Ruben despite the weather that fooled us a little we enjoyed the most and made the most of the day, I think Ruben will never forget the 4 of them on a paddle board mounted was great, recommended with his eyes closed. Obrigado
