Lagos Exklusive private Bootsfahrt mit Snacks und Wein!

Dear Madison, Thank you so much for your beautiful words! It was an absolute pleasure having you and Tate with us on board, and I’m truly happy to hear that your six-hour cruise became one of the highlights of your trip. Sharing those hidden beaches, the caves, the fishing village, and those special moments swimming and paddle boarding between the rocks with you made the day memorable for me too. I’m so glad you felt that the experience was more than just a boat trip. That’s exactly what we hope to create for our guests. As Fernando Pessoa beautifully wrote, “Tudo vale a pena se a alma não é pequena.” — “Everything is worthwhile if the soul is not small.” Your review certainly made our day a little brighter. Thank you again for choosing us and for allowing me to be part of such a special day in the Algarve. I hope the sea brings you back to us someday! Warmest regards, Max & the Algarve On Board Team

Dear Diane, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure having you, Rob, Paulette, Bruce, Randa, and Jesse on board. We’re delighted to hear that the whole group had such a fabulous time exploring the Algarve coast. It was a pleasure sharing the beauty of the ocean and the area with all of you, and I’m so glad I could help make your day special. We hope to welcome you all back on board for another memorable adventure in the Algarve! Warm regards, Max & the Algarve On Board Team

Dear Daniella, I absolutely love welcoming couples on their honeymoon, and having you and Kevin on board today, celebrating your love, made this day especially meaningful for all of us. The full moon was simply magical tonight. You were invited for the sunset and moonrise experience without knowing exactly what I had in mind… but I knew. That’s why I wanted to give you some extra time on board, so you could experience the full moon rising over the Algarve from the sea. Some moments are simply too special to rush. At Algarve On Board, we don’t worry about the clock. We adapt to the conditions of nature and to the moments that the sea gives us, always trying to create the best possible experience for our guests. Today was a wonderful example of that. You came aboard to celebrate your love, and we had the opportunity to give you a little more than what was originally planned. At Algarve On Board, that’s how we like to do things. We are here to share our experience, our passion for the ocean, and the beauty of this incredible coastline. And how lucky we are to have guests like you, celebrating your honeymoon, allowing us to be part of such a special moment. As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote: “Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.” Thank you, Daniella and Kevin, for sharing this beautiful evening with me and trusting your honeymoon with us. May this moonlight be one of the many wonderful memories you carry with you from your honeymoon in Portugal. We'll remember it for ever for sure! I hope the sea brings us together again someday. (Before the kids... lol Or with them too...) Warmest regards, Max & the Algarve On Board Team

Dear Angela, I believe there may have been a misunderstanding, as it seems you may have reviewed the wrong company. We are based at Lagos Marina. We do not operate from a trailer, and our team is highly experienced. We also do not have queues for boarding, as all of our cruises are private. Our guests are welcomed on board and receive a wonderful picnic basket with wine (white or rosé), soft drinks, water, fresh fruit, bread, pastéis de nata, and other little treats that we carefully provide as part of our experience. Unfortunately, based on the details you have described, we were not the company that provided your cruise. I believe you may be referring to a small company operating from Portimão, which has a trailer at a more remote location, very similar to the one you describe in your review. For this reason, we will contact Tripadvisor/Viator and request that your review be removed, as it clearly appears to refer to a different operator. We are proud that our reviews consistently reflect the experience our guests receive with us (we receive only 5 stars at the end of our tours), and we are currently ranked #1 among 235 Tours & Activities in Lagos. Nevertheless, we would be delighted to welcome you on a future visit to the Algarve and give you the experience we are known for, with the same level of quality and care that our guests receive from the moment they arrive at the marina, even before stepping aboard one of our boats with our communication. Thank you very much for your understanding. We sincerely hope that any experience that did not meet your expectations in the Algarve will not overshadow the quality and dedication of the many other companies working hard to provide wonderful experiences in the region. Warmest regards, Max Fercondini Algarve On Board Director & the Algarve On Board Team

Dear Anon, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your private boat cruise along the Algarve coast and found the experience both informative and enjoyable. We’re glad you appreciated the beauty of the coastline on the way to the Benagil caves. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you back to the Algarve for another unforgettable experience! Warmest regards, The Algarve On Board Team

Dear Nikki, Thank you so much for your wonderful words! It was an absolute pleasure having you and your family on board, and I’m truly happy to know that your day with us became such a special memory from your trip to Portugal. As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote, “Life is a journey, not a destination.” And for me, the best part of this journey is sharing these beautiful places and special moments with wonderful families like yours. Your family will always be welcome on board, and I hope this was just the beginning of many more adventures together. Next year, we’ll have our new catamaran ready, and I would love to welcome you back for a completely different experience. Staying on board for one, two, or even three nights and exploring even more of the Algarve from the sea. Thank you again for choosing Algarve On Board and for trusting me to make your family day special. It was a pleasure having you with us, Nikki, and I truly hope to see you all again next year! Warm regards, Max & the Algarve On Board Team

Dear Shari, I truly loved meeting your family and sharing a little bit of the Algarve with you. I’ll be looking forward to your next visit! When you return to the Algarve, I would love to welcome you all aboard my catamaran for an overnight experience. That way, you can wake up on the water, enjoy the magic of sleeping aboard, and we can explore even more of the Algarve coastline together. There is still so much more I’d love to show you, from visiting the local fishermen’s yard, to sailing to a beautiful winery with its own private pier for a wine tasting, and of course, plenty of hidden spots and unforgettable moments along the coast. Thank you for your kind words and for being such wonderful guests. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know you and your family, and I’m so happy to hear that you had such a memorable day with me on the boat. I hope to see you and your family back in the Algarve very soon! Warmest regards, Max & the Algarve On Board Team

My dear Hiral, I’ll respond to your lovely review with a poem. I hope my words can somehow capture the incredible day I had the privilege of sharing with all of you. Dear friends, at fifty, life seems to say, There’s still so much to discover along the way. With friendships that grow richer, deeper, and true, And memories made special when shared with a crew. The sea has a magic, both timeless and wide, It carries our stories with every new tide. And what better way to celebrate fifty years Than with laughter, good friends, and a toast without fears? Your kind words mean more than you’ll ever know, They’re treasures I’ll carry wherever I go. To be your captain, your host, and your guide, And share the Algarve’s beauty and sea with pride. Thank you for trusting me with such a wonderful day, For the laughter, the smiles, and the joy along the way. May fifty be not a milestone, but merely the start Of many more adventures, with sea in your heart. And should you return, as I truly hope you do, I’ll be waiting once more with the ocean and blue. Because life is best lived with friends by your side— And perhaps, once again, with the Algarve tide. With gratitude and a big smile, Max & the Algarve On Board Team

Thank you so much for your beautiful words, Keff! It was truly a pleasure having you and your wife on board the Massimo Sinatra and sharing those special moments with you both in the Algarve. We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that we could make your day unforgettable. Natika was especially happy to read your message. It means a lot to all of us from Algarve On Board that you appreciated all the little details we put into making your day special. It was a pleasure from beginning to end, and we hope to welcome you back one day for another unforgettable adventure along the Algarve coast! Warmest regards, Max & the Algarve On Board Team

Dear Beth, What a wonderful review! Thank you so much for taking the time to share these wonderful words with us. It truly means the world to hear that your day on the water was everything you hoped for and more. We loved having all six of you with us (you, Randolph, Darlene, Joseph, Jeffrey and Donna), and sharing those little moments that make a day at sea so special; exploring the caves, discovering the razor clams, and then sitting down together in a small fishing village to taste what you had just harvested. For us, the best part of what we do is exactly what you described: sharing our love for the ocean, our experience and creating moments that people will carry with them long after they leave Portugal. Knowing that we were the highlight of your trip is an incredible compliment, and one we will not forget. And please know that your kind words about Natika, Gabriel and me have made all of us smile. It was a real pleasure spending the day with you, and we would be absolutely delighted to have you back on board if your travels bring you to the Algarve again. We’ll happily save you a spot on the water — or perhaps several days on our catamaran! As the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa wrote, “Life is what we make of it.” Thank you for making that day such a beautiful part of our lives too. Our warmest regards, Max & the Algarve On Board Team
