We had a brilliant trip. Highly recommend. Max and Pete were great hosts and could not do enough for the group which included two young children (5 and 8). Highlight of our holiday.
Local tapas were stale chips and bread with old cheese and meat

Had a great day on the boat. The crew - Max and Pete - were professional, fun, knowledgeable and provided excellent service. Highly recommend!
We had the best day! The staff were so friendly and helpful, even telling us stories on the history of the coved we visited on the boat. They made sure we always had drinks/snacks and it was the best day. We did a half day 2/5:30 and loved every minute!
Our trip with Max and Pete was wonderful! We had a big group of 9 and they were so accommodating with plenty of food and drinks and activities. Would definitely recommend them for any group traveling to Lagos!
Perfect! Even with cloudy weather we had a great time. Max and Pete were wonderful hosts, with a bounty of info to share, and super hospitable. Could not have asked for more. Thanks!
Had a magnificent time with Max and Pete! Group of 6 celebrating a 35th birthday, had a perfect half day trip. Quite accommodating with us, lots of drinks/snacks with half history and half photo taking. Would highly recommend, easy to communicate with Chris, and Max and Pete were fantastic!
Max and Pete were AWESOME. Highlight of our stay in the Algarve region. They told us about history, pointed out landmarks and notable caves, and allowed us to explore some smaller caves on one of their 2 paddle boards. Truly a remarkable experience thanks to Max and Pete. Would book again in a heartbeat.
Wonderful and extremely flexible itinerary (Max) with great knowledge of the area and attention paid to us all (Pete)
Max and Pete were fantastic!!! Highly recommend them and this cruise (10am- 5pm). Very knowledgeable about the shoreline, caves, city. Made it super informative. Snacks and drinks were flowing and great. Route was scenic and we saw multiple dolphins as a bonus. Paddle boarded and walked into the caves. Stopped at a lunch place that had the best fresh fish. What a fantastic perfect day on the yacht! Overall 10/10. Thanks Max and Pete!!
Absolutely excellent experience on board. Max and Peter looked after us thoroughly. Can’t recommend these guys enough. The boat is quality and the local knowledge of the caves and local landmarks was top drawer. Thanks guys , see you next August 🍾🙌🏻
My wife and I had an amazing trip. Boat and crew were both excellent. No complaints!
This was our second year booking a full day on the same boat as we had such a good time last year. We had the same skipper, Max, who is a real gentleman and together with Pete looked after us beautifully. Pete has a vast knowledge of the sealife and surrounding area which was very interesting. They went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable day. They took us to watch dolphins, to some amazing caves that we could paddle board through and snorkel. They even booked a restaurant for us for lunch which we got a water taxi to (which they also arranged) I couldn't recommend this charter highly enough, a really wonderful day. we will definitely be back!
We had the best afternoon on the boat with Max and Pete! Both very knowledgeable and down to earth guys. Lots of cold drinks, great food and beautiful sights. Would highly highly recommend
It was the highlight of our stay in the Algarve and its all thanks to Pete and Max. They were absolutely wonderful hosts. My two children are still talking about them. Showed us the most wonderful areas, informed us and allowed us to enjoy the beauty. Thank you for an amazing day and the amazing friendly service!
Max and Pete looked after us really well, would highly recommend them
We had the best time with Max & Pete. They were very welcoming and were able to show us a lot of the Algarve and speak to its history. We had fun swimming, snorkeling, and exploring the private beaches. Next time we are back, we will definitely book with them again. Thank you!!!
We had a fantastic day. Thanks to Max and Peter for being such a great professional crew . We will be back !
Had a fantastic time on the boat, we were well looked after by an amazing crew. Would have liked to have travelled a little further on the boat to enjoy the speed but would have had to book more time to make the most. Thankyou for a fantastic day
Great experience and very nice people! We had so much fun with our family. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for private boat gate away in portugal.
This was a experience of a lifetime. Max and Tessa made the day for us. We had such fun and never wanted for anything. I cannot thank you all for making a day that we will treasure for ever.
We had a wonderful time , Max and Jasmine were just lovely the perfect balance of being attentive without intruding on our experience. They couldn’t do enough for us and really added to the luxury experience. Stopping for Paddle boarding and snorkelling in beautiful spots. They had lots of information about the coastline and Portugal which was very interesting and looked after us fantastically. We were 3 adults and 2 teenagers and had booked for the full day. We all had a very memorable time and would highly recommend booking, we will definitely book again.
We had a great time on the boat. Chris was a great host and looked after us very well. Drinks were served throughout and the boat was in good condition. They had paddle boards and there were plenty of stops for swimming/chilling. A must do for an afternoon or day!
Great free also. Making sure the day was according to our expectations ! Great day. Ver recommendable
Chris and Max were fantastic throughout the trip and very accommodating, going above and beyond for the party. 8 people were on the boat, plenty of room. We visited some amazing lagoons, and Chris and Max were very attentive. Couldn't have asked for a better trip!!! Would definitely book again.
Chris and Max were amazing host providing clear communication and guiding us through a great tour of Lagos and Portimao. Touring The Algarve by boat is a must when visiting this part of the world. And no better crew to do this with than with these gentleman.
A great big thank you to Chris and Max, we had the most lovely day. I contacted Chris as I was wanting to scatter my mums ashes in Alvor, Chris was lovely, offered suggestions and helped me plan this special day. On the day Chris and Max were so welcoming and made sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend this gorgeous boat and the wonderful people who will ensure you have the trip of a lifetime. Next time we are here we will definitely be booking another trip. Thank you again, we will remember this day forever.
While the boat and views were amazing, it was the customer service that really alleviated the experience. We had a really hard time with booking a boat and getting a timely response, but Christopher confirmed it in less than 24 hours and he keeps his calendar updated! The crew was extremely accommodating!! On the day we had a full day booked, the winds wouldn't let us go to Benagil Caves but Max and Christopher found the perfect solution for us! Their hospitality was unmatched and we learned so many fun facts from them. Not to mention, they offered us refreshments and snacks and were quick with the recommendations. The boat was clean and more spacious then we expected. Overall we left extremely satisfied. It was by far the best customer service we experienced in all of Portugal. Thanks guys!!
This is worth every penny and anyone who decides not to go will regret it. The team on-board could not do enough for us plenty of drinks and full of knowledge of the area. Nothing was to much trouble and it was an absolutely amazing day the boat was lovely but the day is made by the crew. Simply a perfect day
We had a wonderful Day with Chris and Max on the Boat it was Fantastic.
Chris and Max have been excellent hosts - they really went the extra mile to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The itinerary was great, we were able to see the most spectacular spots of the impressive coastline (special thanks to Chris for his skills maneuvering the boat) and went for a swim in a nice bay not as exposed to the wind. Great drinks and food! 100% recommend and we will definitely repeat next summer! Thanks again!
Wow! What an amazing day! Chris and Max are super chilled and accommodating This trip is worth every penny… dolphins, Snorkelling, paddle boarding, secluded beaches, stunning coast lines, speeding through the ocean… the list goes on…. Would highly recommend
The boat day was very good with Christopher & Max ! The boat is very confortable and the service provision provided by Max is excellent. We have seen the coast and relax on the boat, it was very nice. Thanks to Chris & Max for this day in Algarve !
I took my co-workers on a boat day to celebrate 1-year as a company and I could not have asked for a better experience! Both Chris and Max were super welcoming and very nice! Can't wait to do it again! I totally recommend them as it was amazing! Keep up the fantastic job guys!
Really enjoyed our trip with Max, really looked after us and would certainly recommend them to anyone! Thanks again
We had a lovely time with Captains Chris and Max . Very nice immaculate boat with ludicrously big inboard engines . Nice sitting area with sunbathing area up front . Safety was also a priority, which was very reassuring . Very good price compared to the competition . We will certainly be hoping to charter the boat and crew again in the future . Snacks , nibbles and drinks werr also served .
Great afternoon, thank you! We learned something about the Algarve && enjoyed a great time on board of the nauti girl
Amazing experience and very nice skippers!
We had a truly wonderful day. The captain and crew went out of their way to make our whole day as relaxing as possible. We have 4 x energetic young boys (between 6 and 13) and they thoroughly enjoyed every minute - from the SUPs to the snorkelling to the snacks and drinks. My wife and I could also relax and let everyone be - a luxury with a big family. Sipping bubbly, diving off the boat and being ferried to lunch all made for an unforgettable trip. Highly recommended!
The Nauti Girl exceeded our expectations, what a fab boat. Chris and Luis could not do enough for us and made our day special. We look forward to cruising with them again.
I loved the service and the experience
Great crew, awesome experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The boat and its team are very recommendable. I highly recommend it as the car is in very good condition. Great communication. I repeat with great pleasure.
Commander Chris is a gentleman, careful, experienced and together with his assistant Pete, they left us at ease to enjoy the wonderful landscapes and caves of Lagos and surrounding areas. I highly recommend the experience of sailing with him and his boat.
Super
Max and Pete were welcoming and always helpful on board. The boat despite being 23 years old was like new with new engines. There were as many places in the shade as in the sun for all tastes. Thank you for a very pleasant afternoon on the Algarve
We had a great afternoon. The crew takes great care. Great welcome and very good communication.
All very well. One of the best experiences I've had with a crew-boat. Very friendly and we had a very good day. We met several parts that were not interesting and we could enjoy the day.
Very nice boat, comfortable, excellent welcome from Christopher, Max and Tatiana. A 4-hour trip from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. with breathtaking landscapes, a little regret not being able to access the caves because the boat is quite large and on a paddle it's too hectic... A very fun and easy paddle initiation for my children aged 9 and 13 in a very quiet place, a passage in front of beaches where you absolutely have to come back (thanks to Max's tips) and an aperitif at sunset just exotic and restful Thank you all for this fantastic trip
We had a great time on the boat. Everything was perfect, from departure to return. Thank you so much.
all in all ok. price / performance a bit too expensive. Great recommendation for the lunch restaurant

I enjoy all forms of boating and messing about on the water but mostly prefer to cruise whilst looking after guests and looking at their faces as they experience the beauty of the Algarve for the first time from the water. I am a sailor who has spent 30 years on the water operating a cruise service. Initially in Christchurch on the 'Nauti Girl' for the past nine years but then in autumn 2015 I moved the boat to Lagos in Portugal to meet a new challenge of operating a similar service but in much warmer climes...living the dream !
