Nick and Vera were a fabulous captain and crew for our afternoon on the water! They were friendly, great to chat with and taught us about the history of the region. The Pocahontas was a very comfortable boat. We saw the Ponta da Piedade, cruised the coast and explored to a beach on paddleboards. Wine and other drinks were included but I recommend also adding the charcuterie board. It was huge and delicious with a variety of meats, cheeses, breads, grapes, tomatoes, olives and nuts. I would definitely do this trip again but I’d book a full day next time. 3.5 hours went by so quickly.

Our initial bigger boat had issues but we negotiated a fair reimbursement for the smaller boat use. The other boat slightly smaller but had all the amenities. Bruno the operator was great. Informative and friendly. Could connect phone to the boat for music. Cooler had nice drinks. Spots to see things were nice. Well worth the privacy and great for family. My 5 and 10 year enjoyed staying on the paddle board to enjoy the water.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hi Shehzad, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted that you and your family still had a great experience.

The whole experience was amazing, would recommend to anyone visiting Lagos! Nick and sue were both very friendly and helpful. They had a lot of knowledge of Lagos and some interesting facts! They were both extremely helpful and provided amazing service! They helped teach me how to stand up on a paddle board which was also great to takeaway! The drink and snack service was also great - 10/10 all round!

Chris_F, Jul 2025
Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with my family on Pocahontas! Nick and Vera were wonderful hosts pointing out rock formations and sharing a bit about the history of the area. Nick taught my kids to do Standup paddleboard and had fun navigating the surf and the rock formations....maybe even a bit too much fun as they tested the boundaries and Nick towed them back in...smiling. My parents enjoyed the time in the sun and watching their grandchildren have fun in the sun and surf. Thanks for making a great holiday memory !

Nick was amazing as a boat captain and navigator but Sue was even better!! They are a great time and work well together, showcasing history, views and a good time! They even allowed us to be out for 30 minutes longer than our time slot and never made an obstacles for my wife and I. We simply enjoyed! The snacks were a great treat and drinks were provided too!
My wife and I would certainly recommend this to anyone visiting Lagos. PLEASE GO TO THEM!! You won't regret it :)

Cristiana_C, Jun 2025
Nick and Lev were excellent hosts on their boat ! Jenny was amazing at communicating via the app/email. And when I asked to via WhatsApp she did. We went as a family to a half day private boat tour. It was sooooo gorgeous! Then we chose to paddle board through the rock formations and caves. We actually see a whale travel across the waters!! Amazing!! As a snack they provided melon with prosciutto. So good!
I highly recommend it for anyone!! I would love to do it again already!!

Vera & Nick were super accommodating & knowledgable.
The itinerary was very good and it was interesting to learn bit of lagos history during the cruise.

Nick and Sue who are the crew on board were phenomenal. They made this trip above and beyond what we expected. The entire trip itself however far exceeded our expectations with the deliberate thought and planning the tour company and the crew put into it. I give this a 10/10 and highly recommend to anyone in Lagos. Will 100% be doing this again next time I’m in the Algarve coast with Nick and Sue especially they really made us feel like family onboard.
