To do - Magnificent experience, I was a little apprehensive about being alone but an outstanding, dedicated and dynamic crew Magnificent coast with its caves, breathtaking landscape Unlimited and delicious BBC on the beach The only drawback is a lot of midges if you want to sunbathe but hey it's nature, there's nothing we can do about it I recommend +++

Fantastic experience - We booked on the 6 hour Catamaran beach bbq. Would highly reccomended booking on this trip. Great views of the caves with commentary from the captain. It was so nice sunbathing on deck or there was shade for those in our party who needed it. The stop at the beach for the bbq was brilliant, the food was lovely, fish, chicken, pork, sausage, salad and drinks all prepared and served by the crew. The secluded beach where the bbq was served was gorgeous, umbrellas were provided for shade. What made this trip exceptional was the crew. They were great fun and made my daughters feel like princesses, we can't thank them enough for making such special memories. Our eldest will be talking about sailing the boat home for years to come and won't take the captains hat off. ❤️

5* trip - We were in Albufeira for my 40th and wanted to do an activity one day. Would 100% recommend this experience. Informative tour in the way to the caves, then BBQ on the beach and travel back. Lovely group of lads which are all family. They really looked after us and even had the whole boat sing happy birthday to me when we had our champagne on return! Brilliant from beginning to end, thank you xx

Fantastic experience - The views were amazing. The crew were fantastic. Very friendly and proffesional. The bbq was really good. I would just say make sure you take a beach towel, even if you not planning on swimming as when you stop for lunch there are no benches to sit on. They do provide umbrellas for a bit of shade. Would recommend.

A nightmare - Absolutely avoid. We booked this activity through TripAdvisor with the company Algarve Charters. It's very difficult to find them in Albufeira. We had a lot of trouble. We arrived in town on time but wandered around for 15 minutes, not finding anything, I contacted them by phone at 9:50 a.m., introduced myself and explained my problem. They told me they would text me to explain the way. Still, we kept looking and finally found it by asking people. On the quay, we saw a catamaran, ask the crew who told us to check in at reception, a 5 minute walk away. Arriving at this reception, we explained to them but they told us that we could no longer board because the activity was at 10 a.m. and we arrived at 10:03 a.m. They knew perfectly well that I had called because we couldn't find it and despite our insistence, they refused to take us under the pretext that it was in the regulations. We asked for a refund, but, again, refused. We therefore lost 120€, it was our last day of vacation. No compassion from his people, no commercial gesture, no understanding, no empathy. Usually, I go through Get your guide for my activities and there, I came across TripAdvisor while searching. I took it anyway, with great difficulty. I will never do it again with them. I call it blatant theft. Really disgusted.
