Review of a private Lagos yacht day with drinks, tapas, paddle boards, kayaking, Ponta da Piedade, and Benagil options.
“Absolutely amazing day! Of our ten days in Portugal, this was by far the most favorite thing we did. Ricardo and Rodrigo were amazing hosts, full of knowledge, fun to talk to and did a great job balancing interacting with us and proving a relaxing space. They made sure we were always happy and our glasses were always full. Seriously the best way to see the Algarve! I can’t wait to go back to Lagos and spend a day on the boat again! Thank you Ricardo and Rodrigo!”
