Tour took place on a fairly new, comfortable 40’ cat boat. Captain and crew were very friendly and knowledgeable as we boated by tall weathered cliffs and beaches. A healthy generous lunch with drinks were provided when we anchored. The tour exceeded our expectations. I recommend it especially when the weather is calm and sunny, as ours was.

So fun, you get a view of all the beautiful cave and rock structures on the coast with rid bits of fun facts. It as a relaxing ride, then we stopped for lunch with drinks and got to swim in the gorgeous blue ocean before returning home.

This tour was a top highlight during our trip to Portugal. The process from booking to boarding the boat was extremely easy. Our hosts were lovely, the views were spectacular, food and drinks were delicious, and you have to take a swim to understand the sheer mass of Ponte da Piedade. Obrigada Blue Fleet team! We will definitely do this again.

Tremendous coast tour.

Brian_T, Apr 2026
Exceptional crew. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional but easy going. We took the morning trip with lunch included. Learned a lot bc about the coastline. This trip is one that should not be missed.

Perfect Way to Spend 1/2 a Day in the Water

Sergio_K, Mar 2026
My wife and I had a wonderful morning touring the gorgeous area surrounding Ponta da Piedade. We were the sole passengers in a beautiful catamaran. Beatriz and Cesar couldn’t have been nicer. They were super friendly, always at our disposal, and great conversationalists. Our lunch was served in courses and delicious. Thank you Beatriz and Cesar for all your attention.

You gotta do this

A+ trip

Campbell_A, Oct 2025
Can't beat this for an experience in the Algarve. Boat trip to see famous cliffs, get a lay of the land, lunch, beers, and swimming in the ocean. Staff was great, good crowd. Couldn't beat the price.

The crew was amazing....

Zachary_M, Oct 2025
The crew was amazing. They went above and beyond to help an engagement in my family. We saw a whale. It was the best way to spend a day on the water!

Fantastic tour !!!

Relaxing day on water

CARYL_B, Oct 2025
Nice day out of the port I’m Faro. They took us to see all the amazing rock formations on the coast, and then we motored over to a little bay area and relax for about an hour or so served us a great lunch of chicken and salad. And all the drink you wanted overall it was a very nice relaxing day. Our guides were great.

Algarve boat cruise

Brian_P, Oct 2025
Overall a good trip. Fog began lifting as we departed. Views at the point were great. Snacks and lunch were excellent. Unfortunately, a group of people were smoking on the boat and were not considerate of the other passengers. Staff did try to step in, but were only partly successful in resolving the issue. Noted that there was no safety discussion about the boat or possible evacuation.

Nice and friendly crew....

Andres_S, Oct 2025
Nice and friendly crew. The sinking oool was nothing like in the pictures. The water was not clear and looked contaminated as it had some foam. Enjoyed the quiet time and wine on board.

Great

Robyn_R, Oct 2025
Such a wonderful day! I felt spoiled by the crew- we all did!- a wonderful lunch, drinks, port wine to finish along with sufficient time to enjoy the beautiful cliffs and rock formations. The boat had a very clean bathroom that is quite large to move around in and we were all spread out enough to not feel crowded. It was appreciated the friendliness of the crew, the history of the area they presented on and the relaxing half day cruise very much.

The best boat trip in Lagos.

Margaret_W, Oct 2025
This is an excellent trip. The rock formations are excellent. We enjoyed the commentary and the beautiful scenery. The lunch stop and swim in the Atlantic was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers, lunch and wine that was provided. I highly recommend this tour.

A great experience made even better by a fantastic crew!

Ed_L, Oct 2025
This is a great half-day experience that takes you around Lago’s Ponta de Piedade. It a large ship so you can walk around freely. We saw a few dolphins, which was an unexpected bonus and had a great lunch. Even had the opportunity for a swim off the coast. The crew were absolutely fantastic!

Bucket List Algarve Experience

Tom_C, Oct 2025
10 out of 10 experience. The weather was perfect; the ocean was beautiful and the scenery with all of the caves and grottos was so unique. On top of that, BlueFleet with the crew of Cesar, Helder, and Beatriz made the trips so interesting and enjoyable. And lunch and drinks were tasty and really hit the spot.

Awesome cruise. A must do if you have a few hours free in Lagos. It has everything - sightseeing around coastline & coves of Lagos, dolphins up close, swimming if you fancy, lunch & drinkies, & chance to mingle with your fellow cruising buddies. Great value & great fun all round!
