About the experience

Experience an incredible day in the Ria Formosa Natural Park, the most important wetland on the south of Portugal, undoubtedly the wildest side of the Algarve coast.

Commanded by a professional skipper with more than 20 years of experience, enjoy a pleasant nautical experience in the Algarve and live one of the best moments of your holidays, far from the crowds of the Algarve coast.

‘Malavita’ is a new high quality boat, with a modern design and fully equipped. It has a bow and stern space (with table) convertible into a solarium, a very comfortable sunbathing area, 74l igloo fridge to keep your drinks cool all day long, freshwater shower, bathing platform with seadek floor and bathing ladders, large bimini top, cockpit lighting, electric anchor, USB charger, Bluetooth sound system and all the safety equipment required by law.

During the day, you can choose what to do, enjoy moments of cruising, go to idyllic deserted beaches, where you can spend a few hours in a totally private and relaxed atmosphere. If you prefer, you can request stops to visit picturesque villages, have lunch in the best restaurants on each island or bring your own food and enjoy it in the place of your choice.

On this tour, there is the possibility of observing the diverse habitats - dunes, marshlands, muddy areas, pine woods and agriculture fields. Important area in terms of birds and with a diverse marine fauna since the lagoon area works as a nursery to some marine species, like dolphins.

This boat is ideal for a family of 4 to 6 people or for a group of friends, who want to live unique moments in an unforgettable place.

The rental is available in the Ria Formosa Natural Park, departing from the Faro Naval Group.

    5/5 for the whole experience, starting with the exchanges with Carlos, very available. The Karnic is perfect for a group wishing to live a great experience far from the port and the crowds. At the top!

    We had a lovely day on Carlos’s boat from start to finish! Before we booked we had great communication and also on the day was very helpful when finding the location of pick up. The boat was very clean and we were taken to many great locations with the opportunity to explore and take part in water activities. Would definitely recommend and will use again!

    My friends and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time on Carlos’ boat. He showed us round some lovely islands with an added bonus of booking us at a table at a restaurant on one of them. He was very kind and took some great photos for us. Overall a splendid trip. Thanks Carlos

    We have enjoyed many boat trips in Portugal over the years, but our day through Ria Formosa with Carlos yesterday was definitely one of our favourites! We had a fantastic day, the boat is very clean and comfortable, we stopped and had a delicious lunch on one of the islands arranged for us by Carlos. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him and we will be recommending to our friends!
