Summary:
Despite the sea being rough with large swell, the excellent crew made every effort to maintain our comfort and ensure we had a good time. Including letting us know and offering refunds before the excursion. Service was excellent with knowledgeable crew and a very comfortable boat. I would definitely recommend them.

Summary:
This was an amazing excursion and I really recommend it! The staff were all really nice, super helpful, and fun. The views were great and it was a nice day out on the water. Drinks and games were available on the catamaran which was nice. The staff had ginger on board and helped one person who got sea sick. They were prepared! The captain (Rui?) helped my friends and I out when we encountered some problems getting back to our Airbnb after. He also made some great restaurant recommendations (crab curry in Alvor was delicious!)
