If you teally want to seal then Jose is the captain. We left Ferugado with both sails up. Great experience, during lunch we did some supping in a beautiful bay. Going back Jose gave instructions so we could operate the ship our selfs. I would recommend Jose and the ship Azule to everyone.

Hosts were very friendly, accommodating and showed us around unique, less busy areas that felt like a once in a lifetime experience. I would not think about it twice to book this tour again, we also enjoyed SUP surfing and snorkeling, and even had a complementary bottle of wine because we had previously told Elisa that we were celebrating some birthdays, this was a nice gesture.

it was a very pleasant trip with a very good skipper. Ruben created a very interesting trip even though the weather was against us. He had the patience to wait for the weather to get better and made us feel super safe during the hole cruise even at sometimes the waves were really big. he is smart, kind and has super sense of humor!

We decided to book this tour on our last day in algarve with Felipe and Chen, the experience was fantastic, they gave us snacks, fruit, wine and soft drinks the whole tour, they took us to the beautiful caves around the coast and the boat was well equipped with paddle boards, a dingy, goggles, towels and even a special waterproof bag to carry your phone or camera if you wanted to! The staff was incredibly helpful, welcoming and informative. This was the best day ever! We highly recommend to also check out their family owned restaurant after for incredible and fresh seafood, we went and it was the cherry on top for a wonderful day

10/10, Jose was a lovely host. Knowledgeable and kind. He provided 2 paddle boards and we were able to explore some untouched beaches. It was a really incredible experience. The highlight of our time in Algarve.
