Jose is an outstanding skipper with unparalleled knowledge of his boat and the surrounding waters. His passion for sailing and expertise in navigating the coast make every journey a thrill. His attention to safety, technical prowess, and ability to read the tides ensure a smooth and exciting voyage. What sets him apart is his intimate understanding of hidden gems along the coastline, making each excursion unique and unforgettable. In summary, if you want a top-notch skipper who knows his boat and the sea intimately, look no further than Jose. Highly recommended for your next sailing adventure.
We had a brilliant time on board the boat with the Jose’s! Although we had a seasick passenger Jose did everything he could to make us feel comfortable. His knowledge was incredible and we felt safe the whole time we were on the boat. We sailed to see some caves, had a cruise up the river, and anchored up near the beach to use the kayak and paddleboard. Overall a great experience thank you so much Jose Imogen & Family
Jose was wonderful and made the experience worth the price. We didn't have the best weather (out of anyone's control obviously) but he did his best to make sure that we enjoyed our day on the water as much as we could and always made us feel that we were comfortable and safe. I would book him again.
Jose was a great guide and host. The spots he took us to were definitely worth seeing and the sailing was excellent! Would highly recommend
We caught good wind on a beautiful day. Thank you!
We had a very pleasant sailing, thanks a lot! :)
José is a great captain! Even though the weather wasn’t the best, he took us to the Benagil caves and 7 Hanging Valleys, found the wind to sail. It was a fantastic sailing trip!
We had a wonderful day Jose was very informative and looked after us well
Jose and the boat Azule were amazing. He is very experienced and a great host. He brought us to nice places, close to caves, isolated beaches but also we did a lot of sailing, which was very nice. The boat is well maintained and sails wonderfully. Great value and I can definitely recommend him.
Thank you, Jose!
Excellent trip. Jose is highly skilled, knowledgeable, and was a great host. We had the best time.
Jose was an excellent host! This is not a luxury sailing yacht, but a well-working 26 foot vessel. If you are looking for a luxury yacht, I’d look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a wonderful and genuine day on a sailboat, this is the best choice. Jose is a sailing instructor so he was happy to allow us to help him do various maneuvers after he learned I sailed back home in Chicago. He is a very relaxed and chill guy, and very happy to accommodate whatever my wife and I wanted to do during our charter. We really wanted to see an algar but instead of going to the overly crowded Benajil, he mentioned a different, MUCH more secluded algar that he knew about. We took him up on that and we were very happy we did. It was beautiful and we will remember that day forever. I would absolutely recommend chartering with Jose!
Great time and a great sailing experience. Thank you for everything!
Kindly captain, explains everything during the trip. He has kayak, paddle and snorkel device. If u are sensitive to motion sickness take medication before! Maybe for 5 persons not enough space to be comfortable. But final experience was great.
Jose is a great guy to sail with - he works hard to ensure that his clients have a good time. I would recommend Jose to anyone who wants a relaxed and enjoyable sailing experience whether you are an experienced sailer or a complete beginner.
We spent a lovely day with Jose. I was with 2 smaller kids 10 and 6. They had a great time too. Boat is comfortable I think up to 4-5 people.
we had a really good day.
Everything perfect. José is very nice and forthcoming.
I can’t thank Jose enough for giving us such a great experience on our boat trip! He was polite, friendly, and happy to give us lots of information about the surrounding area. The boat was beautiful and very comfortable. We had the most amazing day! Thank you again Jose.
We had a wonderful day with Jose! He is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the Algarve region, he took us to beautiful locations. He was a great host and provided a lot of extras e.g. kayak, paddle board, waterproof phone cases. Highly recommend renting with him, thank you Jose!
We had a wonderful day sailing with José on his boat!! He gave us a great tour and was super friendly. I would definitely recommend!
Well worth it over the tourist boat options
10/10 would recommend!
We had a nice tour (3 hours) on the boot! We went also snorkeling & peddeling. Jose was very friendly.
Great experience on board! Jose is a fantastic host and the boat is perfect for knowing the Algarve coast from other perspective. Specially, if the weather is so good as it was. We will repeat in our next visit
