Lovely afternoon on the water

4.00Lovely afternoon on the water. Paddle boards would benefit from being pumped up a bit more and I don't think there is any chance that the sails would be put up for a sail, but if you want to spend time with friends on a beautiful catamaran and enjoy a swim and a few drinks this trip is ideal.
Paradise

5.00Awesome time. Beautiful ride to Isla Deserta for a swim and paddle boarding with family and friends. Our group was 15 people from ages 11-5 and everyone enjoyed the trip. We went on the half day and we brought our own food and drink. We were offered champagne once we were underway which was a nice touch. Private doors boat to the catamaran was very pleasant as well. Wish it could have lasted longer so I may consider the full day tip next time. We had a party of 15 and it did not seem crowded on this boat.
A wonderful private tour

5.00We had an amazing 3.5 hour tour with the team at iSea! The staff were so friendly and helpful and full of information and we were taken out to explore the deserted beaches of Ria Formosa. It was private and intimate and would highly recommend!
Professional and lovely. A must do.

The Best Hen Do Surprise

5.00This excursion was booked as a surprise for one of my best friends hen do in Faro. She was absolutely over the moon and all 16 of us had the most amazing time. It was definitely the highlight of the trip. We were made to feel like royalty the full duration of our trip, thanks to our amazing hostess Annie. She was super knowledgeable and really gave us an insight to some hidden gems round about! I'd recommend this to anyone and will most definitely be doing this again when visiting Faro!
A truly memorable experience . . .

5.00This group of 10 friends from the US/Michigan had a truly memorable day on Rio Formosa with the team from iSea Yachting. We were initially concerned about the weather forecast (wind/waves), but Bruno assured us that we were in good hands and he was absolutely right! We set out on tour day with sunshine, blue skies and beautiful clear, blue/green water. Our amazing crew - Pedro and Annie, were the perfect hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience - above and beyond including retrieving a hat, with significant sentimental value to one friend, from the water after it had blown off his head. Annie was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with information about the area we visited and fantastic recommendations for the area where we were staying. This was an experience none of us will forget. Thank you, iSea Yachting, Bruno, Pedro and Annie.
Amazing day out! Highly recommend

5.00We were a group of 14 women and booked the half day tour. It was unbelievevable from start to finish. So much better than we expected! Our captain was Pedro and our host Annie, they were really helpful and made the day! We could fully relax and enjoy the views; Annie would bring drinks whenever we needed and also gave us lots of interesting information about the surrounding islands. We had dolphins swim near the boat which was magical and apparently quite rare. Would book again in a heartbeat, just amazing!
Amazing half day trip

5.00We had an excellent time aboard the catamaran. It was only my husband and I - there were 2 crew members who took care of our every need. Pedro the captain located a pod of dolphins. We swam near a beautiful beach on one of the barrier islands and did a quick paddle board session as well. The boat itself was in great shape and spacious - could have easily fit more people. Annie made an amazing fruit plate and charcuterie board for us to enjoy after our swim. All around our experience was amazing.
Wonderful trip
