WHO WE ARE
Company formed in 2018 with a multidisciplinary team that presents a luxury boat and that has the objective to fill a gap in the maritime-tourism area in Olhão and presenting high quality services tailored to the most demanding customer.
On board of our comfortable boat ("Quinta do Porto I") you can explore all the labyrinths of the Ria Formosa channels, get to know all its aquatic life, bathe in the most beautiful beaches in the World, toasted with the history and curious traditions of the villages that we find in this region.
Strolling along its crystal clear waters, you can learn about the centuries-old techniques of shellfish farming, such as clams and oysters, which make this activity indispensable in the socio-economic context of this region.
On board we provide binoculars and guides, so that you can observe shellfish farmers and birds up close.
Our aim is to provide our clients with a mixture
of positive moments and sensations so that they can remember them with much
happiness.
