    A timeless moment offered to us by Bruno and his team, who took great care of us. We were a large group of 15 people, and they had the patience to welcome us and guide us throughout the journey. Many thanks for everything.

    Bruno and his team were fantastic! We were a group of 13 girls on a bachelorette party going to Funchal, but due to weather conditions, the plane couldn't land. We had to organize a new bachelorette party (this time in the Algarve) outside the airport, which included booking the boat the day before! Everything went perfectly! It was as if we had booked it months ago! We were so warmly welcomed! The boat is fantastic, and the entire staff was excellent. We brought food and drinks, and they had all the dishes to plate to make everything look beautiful, and they even offered several bottles of sparkling wine. Plus, the tour is beautiful and well worth it! I couldn't have asked for an easier booking experience and a better day on the boat! I recommend it 100%!

    We hired the iSea catamaran for our friend’s chill hen party, 10 ladies. We had a fabulous time on the cruise. The wind was strong so we didn’t go out into the sea just sailed along the lagoon which was perfect as a plan B. The boat was high end and Ana made sure we were properly taken care of and she was fun to talk to. Our captain Pedro was lovely too Bruno booked us a table on desert island at Estamine which was perfect too. We had an amazing time overall!

    Wow, just wow! The best yachting experience we have been on. From the very start all 13 of us were made to feel like royalty, Bruno, Maria and Susana were amazing hosts and so attentive to everything during our trip. We were met with champagne flutes that were topped up a few times, our food was laid out perfectly inside for us to sit together enjoy. Drinks were stored in a chiller and were served to us whenever we wanted, we were regularly asked if we wanted more drinks. We were taken to a beautiful location where we could visit a very private and quiet beach, there was plenty of time for paddle boarding, snorkelling and swimming and Bruno was at hand to help everyone to use the equipment and to keep safe. Everything was tailored to exactly how we wanted it. The catamaran itself was stunning, very luxurious and plenty of room for us all. I would highly recommend booking with Bruno and his crew and many of us are planning on returning so we can do the experience again. Thank you all so much for making the day so perfect.
