"Venture" into dusk on a Classic boat cruise through the beautiful Ria Formosa, as you relax and become one with nature and wildlife of this amazing Paradise. The emphasis of this experience is to enjoy and take your mind off things. Drinks and typical Portuguese TAPAS are served onboard, as we glide quietly into the Sunset, that magical and unhurried moment, when it seems that nature and time itself slow down as our King Star says goodbye to us and inevitably dives into the horizon, displaying dazzling colours, sensations of tranquillity and unforgettable pleasure. Sunset our emblem and inspiration, the philosophy that drove our project, the desire to offer pleasant and unforgettable experiences in your own time, without rush or extremes, at your own pace. Exercise your senses, sip your drink, taste the fruits of the ocean (oysters and others) listen to the sound of pure nature, the birds, the waves, or, the right musical note of your choice for that unique moment in a magical place.

Truly of the beaten track, first class service, only in private but not in a ostentatious and profligate manner, surely not for the arriviste. We took the Tapas tour with visit to the oyster beds. Impecable hosts (crew), classy and charming boat full of history. The Ria Formosa lagoon is a very peaceful and beautiful place, one of the most beautiful I've seen in the Algarve. The visit to the oyster place to taste them with regional wine is priceless, really surprising. Recommendation?! I would be onboard tomorrow.... and again the day after if I could.
A full summer day!

We took the 6 hour private tour only for our family, and I can say it was a better day if not the best day of our holiday in the Algarve this year. The boat is super spacious, quiet and comfortable with every bath and all conditions to spend a top day with the family. There are paddle boards and diving masks for free, just ask Daniel. The crew was excellent, of a kindness and irreproachable dedication, with a lot of information and fun. The Ria Formosa is very beautiful but is far from looking like a real natural park, with all the water bikes and fishing nets everywhere. A friendly hint...It is possible to ask the crew not to visit the village of Cúlatra! I recommend this experience 100%.
Highly recommended

We did the tour to see the seahorses – a real highlight, especially for the children! They were thrilled. The skipper Daniel was in a great mood and explained everything with a lot of humor. The boat was comfortable and the whole atmosphere very pleasant. Highly recommended!

Amazing bird Life, if you go... go in the morning at low tide! Onboard really good Bushnell binoculars were provided, which surprised us (although we had our own). Also birdwatching guides for the untrained where provided, with very accurate information. The boat is super stable for good photography. Having taken several nature tours around the Algarve, I have to say that Daniel and Soraia have something really special here, the passionate and knowledgeable Way Daniel approaches the whole natural part is contagious in a heartwarming way. Every time we are in Portugal you can count on us. Thank you so much.
I totally recommend this!

Very apart from mass tourism, totally opposite, just what we were looking for. Dazzling views, much to be seen, the local way of life, nature, and the most beautiful Sunset I've witnessed in a long time. And the fresh from the water oysters! Uh la la, delicious. Thank you for the vibes and good memories.
Fascinating trip around the islands with insightful guide

Wonderful outing with Daniel and Suraya. Very interesting and genuine - Daniel took his time to explain everything from tides, oyster and clam fishing, migration of birds, local economics of the fishermen, pirating and Ria Formosa defence strategies, the decline of canned fishing, the growth of French born oysters etc etc. But all throughout he spoke with passion and not a prepared script - really felt special and got an insight to Olhão and the Islands culture. Boat is large with toilet and cold drinks on board. Thank you
Unforgettable tour

We made this tour for the 2nd time and it is an experience that is always recorded by the memory of unforgettable moments. The boat has a fantastic dimension and allows for fun and safety and Daniel (boat owner) allows you to enjoy the experience without pressure. Whoever can try will not forget the experience
