This was our first overnight stay in a catamaran. Armando and Karla turned out to be the best captain and host anyone could dream of. They are the best chefs offering the typical Portuguese Cataplana and some delicious stakes, made with fresh ingredients to perfection . An incredible variety of the best wines. This was an experience of a lifetime and we cannot wait to sail with Armando and Karla again. The beds were comfortable and the vessel had plenty of space to move around to enjoy a beautiful sunset 🌅 No wonder they are categorized as Super Captains ! They really exceeded our expectations. They even taught us how to sail and some delicious recipes. We did some fishing 🎣 as well. We strongly recommend this lovely couple that made us feel like family from the first minute. We undoubtably give them 5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ See you soon Armando and Karla ❤️
Captain Armando and his wife/assistant Carla receive our highest recommendation. They provided our party of 12 with a delightful sunset cruise experience and we have no hesitation in leaving them a top review!
We were a group of 13 friends and the offered experience was nice. Armando and Carla’s hospitality was excellent! I recommend this boat for which hospitality, cleanliness and space would be guaranteed.
Armando and Carla were amazing hosts! They kept me well informed about the changing weather and managed to create an amazing day for me and my friends!
We had an amazing day on the boat with Carla explaining all about the islands and sea. Both hosts couldn’t do enough for us.
Wonderful day! Just went too fast! Boat is beautiful cared for. Crew are welcoming and really looked after us. Islands were fun. 10 of us had a wonderful time! Thank you!
I would like to express how much I enjoyed our boat trip with Mr. Armando and his wife. The outing was simply wonderful, with stunning scenery and a charming atmosphere. The lunch on the boat was impeccable, with delicious and well-prepared dishes. Everything went perfectly, making this experience unforgettable. I am immensely grateful for the hospitality and for providing us with such a special day. Highly recommended!
Ist was a Great day with our Family and our friends. Super relaxed. Armando and Carlo did their best to make it us comfortable. We did swim, relaxing, had a nice lunch at on of the islands. We will come back next year.
Everything was fantastic lovely couple who worked hard on the day. The restaurant was great all be it a bit slow so we stayed on the boat longer
Best boat ever for me and my friends !!!
Everything about this boat was perfect! From the start Carla and Armando were amazing helping you with anything you needed to know & when on the boat they were so lovely & happy, they are great hosts. I would highly recommend a trip on this boat and would definitely like to join them again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Carla and Armando were amazing hosts, super helpful and friendly. They made us a reservation for lunch on a little island where the food was also so good. The photos do not do the boat justice! Would definitely book again
Armando and Carla were really great! The boat is perfect - everything went smoothly and perfectly Thank you again so much!
An excellent day out for a group of 15 people. Carla and Armando were brilliant hosts. Would highly recommend.
Armando and Carla were such great hosts. Really lovely couple and the sunset boat tour was very enjoyable. The food spread was also amazing!
We had an amazing time on board sunset sailing! Carla and Armando were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The boat was beautiful.
Lovely couple and the boat is spacious but not what we expected as we stopped for lunch at a place they recommended and it took over three hours. So that was not communicated to us. Dont really want to spend $$ to rent a boat amd half rhe time sit in a restaurant We wanted to see beaches and coastline .Also the beach we went to near faro os no where as nice as the orher beaches we saw near albuferia Basically just make sure ypu ask what ypu will be seeing so you are not disappointed by the route. We didnt get the swim off the boat and snorkel on calm waters which i thought we would Still was enjoyable but cpuld have been better for the money for sure
Carla and Armando were really friendly and nice to us. They gave us clear instructions and provided us a lot of insight of the surrounding. Whenever we requested something they said yes and provided us with some good food. They also recommended us with some good restaurant choices. I think one of the main reasons we enjoyed the day was because of these two. We recommend them to anyone and we would love to go again. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the day a lot. Thank you for everything again.
I don’t even know where to start! This was the best experience we could have wished for! Super welcoming and amazingly nice! The boat was super clean and we felt like home during the entire time! The boat owner took time to explain how everything worked around the boat and taught us a few things about our surroundings (history facts) which was super interesting! They booked us a very cute restaurant and organise for the restaurant to pick us up from the boat to the restaurant. They offered us a speaker to play music and a very nice snack plate. We absolutely had the best time and hopefully we will be back next year. We highly recommend!
WHAT A BOAT!!! Big, really clean with so much space for us (we were eleven people) . This day Was amazing with this crew. In addition to, We received some food and beverages and they were so nice with all of us. We recommand to travel with you and your boat. Very professionnal.
Carla and Armando were lovely hosts and made the day everything we could’ve wanted. Boat was as it seems in the pictures. Couldn’t ask for more.
Amazing! It was such a beautiful trip! Dolphins playing with our boat! Sunset! Clear water! Gorgeous nature! The best hosts ever, so sweet and helpful... Thanks for everything
Great experience. Great hosts. Armando and Carla were great to accommodate us and make from our experience something especial. Totally recommend. Next time we definitely sailing the entire day.
Best boat ride I’ve been on!!!! Beautiful boat and THE BEST hosts. Would highly recommend
We were a group of 13 and we absolutely had the best time from the minute we got on to the very end. We had asked for a sunset tour and I’m glad we did, the boat was beautiful and very well maintained. The crew were so kind and accommodating, couldn’t have asked for a better crew!
Beautiful day! Everything went smoothly, couldn't of asked for much more. Really accomodating well maintained boat with lovely crew. Weather was perfect. Jumped into the warm sea and drank local wine. Would come again
We were a group of 11 friends and had a wonderful time on Carla and Armando’s boat. Despite adverse weather conditions, Carla and Armando were super flexible on the time and were incredibly welcoming. The boat is just as, if not even more spacious and comfortable than the photos ! After lunch in a restaurant, we were welcomed back on the boat with some wine and finger food. I highly recommend the hosts and would definitely come back !
Thank you very much for a great day and being brilliant hosts. The communication was great throughout the booking process and Carla helped to personalize our trip for a friends birthday celebration. I would highly recommend! Thanks again
I can highly recommend a trip with Armando and his wife. We had a blast on our trip with their beautiful and cozy catamaran. Seeing dolphins, exploring secret spots and getting informations about the coast are just a few of the things we explored. Furthermore they really did everything to make us feel comfortable - thanks again for everything! We’ll definitely go on another trip with them when we’re back at the algarve.
The crew was absolutely incredible. We received a very easy and warm welcome, spent a great day cruising around the islands off Faro, and the crew constantly helped make the day enjoyable. They were so easy going and nice, we all felt comfortable right away. What a great value for the money; 100% would hire this same boat & crew anytime. Also a big thank you to the crew for gifting us a bottle of champagne to celebrate my Residency appt.
Great experience. The boat is excellent and very well kept. Armando/Carla were outstanding hosts which contributes for this day trip to be pleasant from beginning to end. Strongly recommend it!
Had a lovely day out on Armando and Carla’s catamaran. They were very welcoming and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying our day out. Would highly recommend :)
Armando and Carla are amazing. Attentive, hospitable and engaging in Portuguese and English. They went above and beyond to make our day special. When my mom said she loved oysters and clams, Armando went to shore and grabbed the freshest ones right off the fishing boat and shucked and served them to us for lunch. To top it all off they made us the most delicious caipirinhas. The catamaran’s amenities were fabulous. Cabins below if we ever wanted a break from the sun and the dining area was spacious with plenty of shade. Armando and Carla had fishing poles and paddle boats available for our use. They were very knowledgable of Algarve and just the sweetest people. I can’t recommend them more and look forward to sailing with them again.
Thank you for a wonderful day and being great hosts
Carla and Armando did everything to make this day unforgettable for our group. Thank you very much for this awesome day trip and the perfect organization! I can highly recommend it!
We had such an amazing time on board and can highly recommend taking a trip with Carla and Armando. Especially if you have kids. They both go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and looked after while at the same time looking out for the safety of the kids. We will definetly plan another trip with them.
Carla and Armando are very nice people, the boat is great and we had a perfect day! I couldn’t recommend it more

Great time, very nice and pleasant couple.
We were a group of 14 people and we were perfectly welcomed by the couple. They adapted to the group, showed us around, took great care of each of us. No difficulty in communicating when I had to book on the application until the day of the service. Thanks again to them.
Armando and Carla were very welcoming and friendly. They made us discover some very appreciable specialties. We had a pleasant day on board. I recommend! Thanks again Armando and Carla!
The day we spent with Carla and Armando on their boat was 5 ⭐️ ! The walk along the Ria Formosa was pleasant, we got to know the deserted island and its only inhabitant. We also took a trip around the beautiful island of Culatra and went by boat through the various areas of the island. The hosts were very kind and provided a lot of information about the area. We had the opportunity to relax, swim, drink and eat good snacks! We would do it again! ?
Carla and Armando were impeccable, I recommend it 100%, we had a fantastic day.
Excellent skipper, Excellent vessel, Excellent friendliness. We really enjoyed it, it exceeded our expectations. On repeat. Thank you very much Armando and Carla.

Armando and Carla were wonderful hosts and contributed to our having an exceptional day with the boys. We made several stops to bathe in the estuary and the open sea, some practiced paddle-surfing and others enjoyed a good Portuguese white wine at the invitation of the hosts.

It has been a spectacular day. They have taken us to the Ria de Faro and the open sea. They have both been charming, they have brought us some others and they have not cooked them. It has been an extraordinary experience.
