Description of Rubén's sailboat

Sailboat Beneteau First Class 8 8m

Rent a boat in Ferragudo and meet your dream holiday! ⛵ The tour is different every day. Depending on the weather and the time, we choose the best option for you to have an amazing day. 🌄 Do you want to enter the caves? Our boat is too big to enter the caves, but we can stop near and you enter with the kayak that we have onboard. 🍔 You can bring your own drinks and food onboard 🌮🥗 ⛽ Fuel is not included in the price. The price variates between 25 and 40 euros. 👨‍✈️ You can rent this boat with or without a captain. If you don't want a captain, you can drive it but is mandatory for you to have a boat license, according to the Portugal Government. If you want a captain, the captain is paid also in the day. For half a day is only 70€ and a full day it´s 100€. Now you pay for the booking and on the day you pay for the captain, the fuel and 5 euros person the enter in the boat. because to enter the boat you need to pay for a taxi boat that will let you on the boat 😎⛵ I hope to sail with you soon. PS: if this boat doesn't suit you, you can check our other boats in my profile 🚤⛴🛶

Pris: Ruben and Jose were friendly, easy to communicate with and accommodating of our changes during the day. Cons: boat was very worn out (sails, lines, winches…), safety equipment minimalist (only huge foam life vests, no electronics to speak of apart from radio, no maps I could find), and rather dirty overall. Cabin is just to throw gear down. In our case this was quite expensive for a short day rental…

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.

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 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.

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 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.
