    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our day on the boat was truly the highlight of our trip! The crew was exceptional — they allowed us to tailor the itinerary to what we wanted to see and suggested wonderful spots along the way. We stopped several times to swim and jump into the ocean, which made the experience even more memorable. The paddle board and snorkeling equipment were fantastic additions, and it was such a treat to have everything provided for us. It genuinely felt like we had our own private boat with two amazing captains taking care of every detail. The lunch prepared on board was absolutely delicious, and we appreciated being able to bring our own beverages. Everything about the day was perfect — relaxing, fun, and beautifully organized. We couldn’t recommend this experience more highly!

    The day we had on Elisa's boat was wonderful. The boat is a delight, as is the crew. We had a magnificent feast and time sailing, swimming, paddle surfing, etc. We would definitely choose it again.

    We had an amazing boat trip from Portimão with Elisa and Miguel – it was simply fantastic! 🌊⛵️ The boat was spotless, super comfortable, and fully equipped with SUP boards, masks, and so much more. Elisa and Miguel were incredibly friendly and fun, making the whole experience unforgettable. They even suggested some amazing SUP routes that we absolutely loved exploring. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to discover the Algarve in a unique and unforgettable way! 💙

    Absolutely perfect boat trip! The sailing experience was just amazing the boat itself is beautiful, spacious, and very well maintained. The crew was not only super friendly but also gave us great tips throughout the day, making the experience even better. The paddle board and snorkeling gear were a great bonus, and we made the most of them! One tip: definitely go for the meal and drinks option totally worth it. They took us to a stunning spot that felt like a hidden gem. All in all, everything was perfect. Highly recommended!

They were attentive and provided excellent service. The value for money was sensational. A great trip, enjoying the scenery, the boat, the water activities, and the food and drinks.
