Fantastic value boat trip, from Alvor to see the caves to the west of Alvor. The crew and on shore staff were all so very friendly and enthusiastic, they made the trip a real joy. Is an absolute must even if you are not fortunate to have sea legs, two of our party were a little anxious prior to the... More

Toby and Pedro treated us to great introduction to sailing on the open seas. It was only an hour trip but Toby was as a great Skipper and treated us to many stories about Avlor and sailing in the area. I took my 3 daughters (all under 10) out for the trip and they all loved the experience. My only... More

As an experienced dinghgy sailor I was keen to get on the water in a proper sailing boat, not the usual diesel engined pretend sailing craft. My grown up son (another Toby) and daughter, who have done quite a bit of sailing, were rather reluctant to start with but came to humour the old man. It being the last day... More

Toby and his guys made sure our recent company trip was an absolute success. We loved all of it: the biking, the sailing, the cave swimming and especially our BBQ day on our own 'private' island. Great organisation and a lot of fun, with the perfect blend of action and relaxation, just the way we had hoped for. We were... More

We had a wonderful afternoon sailing along Alvor Bay. The Kids caught fish and we had a great water fight with the other boat. Rounding the corner towards Portamao, we dropped anchor for a swim with snorkels and then had some sangria [the kids had soft drinks] back on the boat, . Toby then turned up in his speedboat to...

I had never been on a sailing boat before and I enjoyed this so much I wanted to go back, we didn't get to hear much of the touristy stuff as there was man on the boat with us who kept the captains attention nearly the whole way to Lagos. Luckily he disembarked there and we had the the boat... More
