Dream day

We sailed on the catamaran for 6 hours, along the Portuguese coast. The landscape is incredible. Francisco and Juan took great care of us all day. They were very attentive while maintaining discretion. The meal was delicious, the drinks were cold, we were there for a bachelorette party. We had an idyllic day.

The reservation service...

The reservation service is reliable and the activity is incredible! The three people on board the boat are incredibly kind, the landscapes are magnificent, and we even had a stop for swimming. A photographer took our picture on the boat before we started the activity, and then he met us upon our return to offer it to us for €10. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase on board, and they accept credit cards. We did indeed have a glass of prosecco just before arriving at the marina on the return trip. A fantastic experience that I highly recommend!

Wonderful day out

We had a wonderful time. What a lovely way to experience the absolute beauty of the coastline. The crew were warm, welcoming and friendly. My daughters (9 and 12) also really enjoyed it. Jumping off the boat was a highlight for the eldest.

Good

An enjoyable morning out, staff were attentive and helpful, as well as being knowledgeable on the scenery. The boat wasn’t fully booked so it didn’t feel too crowded which was nice. The lunch was not great but it did the job, would still recommend for a trip out

The seas were very rough. There were 6 members in my party and only 1 person was sick. The staff was Amazing and extremely helpful with our sick friend. It would be a better trip if the seas were calm.

We travelled to see the caves, we were told before the trip started that sea conditions were not ideal due to the winds…our two 14 yr olds left there sea legs on shore and needed the assistance of the crew who made sure the lads were looked after. The guys were a credit to the company.

Fun and comfortable cruise

18/5 with Algarve Charters from Albufeira made a cruise along the coastline to the caves of Benagil. We had a daughter in wheelchair with us. This was notified in advance and went fine. From the booking office the captain walked with us to the boat (also helped us down slope at the jetty) We were the first to board and had a spot on the deck, where the wheelchair fit right into recess above the catamaran glider. On the way there, a guide broadcast several views in English and Portuguese. Great experience. Is very comfortable sailing with this catamaran (bar and toilet on board) With this boat you do not need to wear a life jacket.

A bit boring nice crew.

It was good on the first half. The way back was uneventful with no commentary and quite a bit away from the shore. The champagne was cheap sparkling wine and a very small pour. No swim and no explanation as to why.

Operator response

Thank you for your review and for choosing us. It is unfortunate that you felt that way, we appreciate all forms of feedback, good or bad, so we can improve in the future. Reading your review we will see how we can improve the information passed by the crew to make the tour less boring and more exciting. Algarve Charters
