Sunset Sailing Algarve

Faro, Portugal
6 reviews
Hi, we are Carla and Armando, the heart and soul behind Sunset Sailing Algarve – a couple whose passion for the sea, as well as for each other, is reflected in every private boat tour in the Algarve. Driven by an adventurous spirit, we once crossed the Atlantic aboard their catamaran – a Nautitech 475, which is in fact one of the few in the world. After this remarkable journey, we returned to Portugal to begin a new chapter on the waters of the Ria Formosa in Faro. Our story is not only one of love and freedom, but also of a deep connection with nature. At Sunset Sailing, we invite you to experience more than just a boat trip in the Algarve – instead, it's a chance to reconnect, relax, and explore hidden corners of the Ria Formosa Natural Park with those who truly love what we do. Each tour is therefore a celebration of the sea, of life, and of the moments that bring people closer. So, if you're seeking tranquillity, authenticity, and unforgettable memories on a private boat tour, Sunset Sailing Algarve is the perfect choice.

    Amazing Experience for the Whole Family!

    4 Hr – Morning Tour in Ria Formos • 10 adults

    Carla and Armando were perfect hosts. They were super hospitable, knowledgeable and kind towards my partner’s family that included elderly family members. They took the time to educate us about Ria Formosa, and made sure we had everything we needed to have an amazing boat day! I have been on several boat trips in the past, but this was one of the best due to the great hosts. The catamaran itself is also amazing in person, I highly recommend booking Carla and Armando!

    Melhor experiência num passeio de Catamarã de 7 horas na Ria Formosa

    7 Hr – Tour in Ria Formosa Lagoon

    Fizemos um passeio de 7 horas de catamarã na Ria Formosa com a Sunset Sailing Algarve e foi simplesmente inesquecível. O Armando e a Carla foram extremamente simpáticos e acolhedores, transmitindo sempre segurança e boa disposição. Ao longo do dia, fundeámos duas vezes, o que nos permitiu mergulhar diretamente do catamarã e ainda experimentar as pranchas de paddle que eles disponibilizam a bordo, uma experiência divertida e relaxante. Como o tempo e o mar estavam favoráveis, conseguimos sair da barra e tivemos a sorte incrível de avistar golfinhos comuns, tornando o passeio ainda mais especial. Durante a viagem, o Armando e a Carla partilharam muitas histórias das suas experiências no mar, bem como curiosidades sobre as ilhas da Culatra, Armona e Ilha Deserta. Foi um prazer ouvir os seus relatos e aprender com o seu vasto conhecimento de navegação. Recomendo vivamente a quem procura uma experiência memorável e única no Algarve. Muito obrigado à Carla e ao Armando por esta experiência inesquecível!

    Day Trip with Lunch on the Boat April 2025

    7 Hr – Tour in Ria Formosa Lagoon

    I hired the boat for a full day with Carla and Armando and had the best time ever. We toured around the Ria Formosa with Carla highlighting all the wonders of the area with so many amazing facts! The highlight was the seafood we ate on board. The Oysters were the freshest ever and the Cataplana incredible. We dropped anchor after lunch and swam for a while ands used the paddle board which was super fun, We also relaxed on the nets and beanbags whilst Armando skippered us out to sea for a while, Carla was always on hand with a beer!. Its great you can take your own drinks on board and use the fridge! I loved it so much I bought a Sun Set Sailing top to remind me of the day. I will certainly book with Carla and Armando again!
