Absolutely incredible experience! Our private boat tour of the Algarve was hands-down the highlight of our entire trip to Portugal. The scenery was breathtaking, and getting to explore the coastline from the water made it all the more magical. Our guide was amazing—so funny, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. The best part? We saw dolphins! It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Couldn’t recommend it more!

excellent trip!Will certainly recommend to everyone visiting this beautiful area. Very nice and knowledgeable skipper.

Highly Recommend!

Visesh_K, Dec 2025
We had an amazing private boat tour, and Luis truly made the experience exceptional. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was enjoyable and personalized. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests, his country, and especially Lagos—it was refreshing to see the pride and love he has for where he’s from. One of the best parts of the private tour was being able to take great photos without crowds or people in the way, and Luis always gave us plenty of time to get the perfect pictures. The private boat tour is absolutely worth it and I highly recommend it and ask for Luis if you can!

Exceptional

Shweta_K, Dec 2025
We loved it! Best decision was to book this private boat tour. Experience was on another level. Reaching to the point and checking in was so smooth. John(Our boat rider) was an amazing person. He explained us every single detail about sorroundings on our trip. He also let us drive the boat for pictures and videos. Offered us snacks and juices. Such an amazing person! Overall we had most wonderful time with this trip!

Exceptional Experience of Ponte de Piedade Coastline

Samantha_S, Oct 2025
One of the best experiences EVER- and we’ve done a lot of traveling! With Marta as our skipper/ guide, our private tour for my husband and I was at the end of the day. The magic of the Golden Coast was on full display. Marta expertly explored every inch of the Ponte de Piedade monoliths and caves while sharing so much knowledge. And then a pod of dolphins joined us to complete this exceptional experience. This proved to be far more stunning than a tour we took of Benagil earlier in the day (with a different tour operator).

Once in a lifetime experience!

Sofia_Q, Sep 2025
This 1:1 boat experience was incredible! Exceptionally nice vessel, guided by our wonderful captain: Luis. We arguably had one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. Huge shoutout to Luis and to the folks at BlueFleet! P.S. We also had the opportunity to jump right into the refreshing but coldddd water, and I can safely say that I didn’t chicken out! 🙂

Private 2 hour with George

megan_s, Sep 2025
This was a fantastic experience with our skipper George. He shared a wealth of knowledge about the Ponte de peodade and Lagos coast and took us into every nook and cranny of these stunning cliffs plus a nice swim at the end. Checkin inside train station was easy and a short 5 min walk to the boat which was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Coastline was more beautiful than expected and Captain Louis was great!

Linda_N, Sep 2025
This was an easy reasonably priced private boat excursion out of Lagos. We went in the morning when it was less windy and less busy out on the water. Captain Louis made us feel very comfortable and he maneuvered the boat professionally. And told lots of jokes! The coastline was beautiful with unique caves and rock formations. Well worth it!

Best experience in Lagos

Alexander_K, Sep 2025
The guide George was absolutely spectacular, highlight of our Lagos trip. Very informative and accommodating, 100% pleased with the experience.

So much fune, great alterantive to the kayaks

ryan_s, Sep 2025
Very professional, great guide, boats in excellent condition and they take their time - some of the other providers looked like they rushed to the caves and back. Highly recommend

Joao was awesome!!

Rita_C, Aug 2025
Our skipper was Joao P. He was fun, funny and had great playlist. He made the experience so relaxing. It was such an enjoyable time! A true gentleman and overall great guy. Would recommend him and the experience to all!

Great way send the afternoon visiting the coastal cliffs. Our skipper John really made the excursion relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Don’t miss this tour.

John_S, Aug 2025
Marta was amazing!! Having a local person guide the tour add so much authenticity and information to the tour. Marta was a wonderful captain and host and we highly recommend this tour for a quick ocean view of the amazing coast of Portugal.

Wonderful private tour with Luis in the Algarve!!!

brianryoshida, Aug 2025
Luis was a fantastic host who took us to the regular tourist sights and got us into position for all the best pictures, but he also took us to a quiet area where we could swim for 20-30 minutes. It was like paradise being able to swim out in the ocean with the blue and green hues of the water all around us. Would recommend to anyone. Well worth the extra cost to take a private boat tour as opposed to the bigger boats with all the noise and young children crying, etc. My three kids were with us but they are adults now and we also took a larger boat tour that just didn’t compare.

Lovely experience along the coast

Katie_V, Aug 2025
We had a lovely trip, as a family of 5. George was our guide and looked after us perfectly. He was knowledgable about the area and made the trip fun. The stop off to swim was the highlight.

We had such a great time!!! Johnny really looked after us and the sites were amazing. We got to stop for a swim which was beautiful!

Hit all the spots in two hours

David_H, Jul 2025
Got much more than we thought. So many beautiful beaches and caves. History lessons from our captain George. Really relaxed and nice atmosphere with the captain and the five of us. Went swimming in a lovely cove. Really great value for money and a highlight of any of our European holidays.

Worst Customer Service

Gina_L, Jul 2025
This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I found out I was pregnant on my trip. I am from NY so there is a 5 hour time difference. When I spoke with my doctor she said for me to not go on this small boat due to my pregnancy and medical history. I tried to cancel 12 hours before since that is when my doctor returned my call ( I know it’s a 24 hour policy) but I explained my emergency medical situation. First the company said no it’s safe… even though my doctor said no.. then they said they would refund it with a doctors note. I said okay. When I returned to NY I got the note from my doctors office and sent it. Now they only refunded a partial refund since I didn’t give the note the day of. I had ZERO internet in Portugal and I couldn’t download any notes from my doctor. When I went onto the WIFI my patient portal to my doctors office wouldn’t work since it thought I was hacking my account using Portugal Internet. I had to wait until I was home to get the note since I spoke to them on the phone. This company is ridiculous.

Great to see these...

Karen_v, Jul 2025
Great to see this beautiful act of nature added with the experiences and knowledge of our enthusiastic guide Jorge (George).

Jerome_T, Jul 2025
Total relaxation, great time to spend with the family. Crew was fantastic and very friendly. A great way to see all the sites in a relaxed boat ride

Perfect Boat Option

Nadine_K, Jul 2025
Marta - our captain and guide was very knowledgable. It was a great way to see the caves and sites with the comfort of our own boat and pace. Stopping to swim in a quiet place was a highlight.

Amazing

Beverly_A, Jul 2025
George was fantastic! Very personable and knowledgeable. He stopped where we wasted to take pictures once it was safe to do so. Scenery was amazing. Weather was great. Only disappointment was that the water was too cold to go for a swim

Great boat, beautiful tour and gracious Captain 100%

Arturo_Z, Jun 2025
Excellent boat ride in beautiful Praia Dona Ana, nice modern comfortable boat for 8 passengers with shade in the back )a must during summer), George (captain) was great would totally recommend.
