Chilled and peaceful tour - Amazing and very chilled tour in a great company. We strongly recommend Goncalo, our guide, he puts his whole heart in what he does.

Beautiful boat outing - Good experience with a great captain, Ricardo.

A sailing day to remember. - A spectacular outing. Ricardo teaches you basic navigation skills, and you can even steer the sailboat under his supervision. He is very friendly and shares interesting things about the place, his work, local anecdotes, and it is clear that he loves his job. It has been wonderful to discover the Ria in his company. An ideal activity for family or friends. We totally recommend it and will gladly return. Thank you, Ricardo, for this experience.

The beautiful Algarve coast (departs from Fuseta) - My neighbors invited me to do 1/2 day sailing experience that departs from Fuseta (Ria Formosa). It was lots of fun and really enjoyed the beauty of sailing along the coast of the Algarve. Ricardo was our excursion guide. Ricardo speaks English does an awesome job explaining the running of sailboat (even gives you chance to be the helmsman), and also explains what we are seeing. I had a wonderful time. Also, just in case you are visiting from United States of America. The excursion operator is called “Passeios Ria Formosa”. Last year in September, 2026 when my daughter visited with friends … the sailboat excursion wasn’t available so we did the excursion that takes you to all the islands in Ria Formosa. This excursion starts at 10 am and ends 5 pm. You get to catch lunch on one of the islands and the other islands you have free time to swim or explore the island. This was lots of fun and everyone enjoyed swimming in the beautiful Ria Formosa. The Ria Formosa Natural Park is a large coastal lagoon and is protected nature park. The water reminds me of Hawaii. Again, loved both experiences and plan this year to take my cousin when she visits to see the islands of Ria Formosa (she will be here in September, 2026).

Exceptional - It was four spectacular hours, where the good disposition of the whole group did not lack. The adrenaline was constant (north wind). Keaper, a professional who knows his work. Thank you Ricardo. The Ria Formosa is beautiful, I highly recommend this Tour, promoted by the Ria Formosa tours, was the third I did and I will repeat.

Fantastic ***** - It was the 13th time I took the sailing ride. Magnificent experience of sailing to the taste of the wind with the highest safety and quality. Unforgettable tour under the leadership of Ricardo and Ria Formosa Tours. I recommend!!! I will repeat!!!!

MAGICAL 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Ricardo & Ari took us for a fantastic sail to a magical island. 🏝️ They were great. Highly recommend. - This was a magical day sailing. The islands of Ria Formosa are considered the Gems of Europe. Ricardo, the Captain lets you sail hands on & explains the different sails etc. Highly recommend.

Fantastic 4 hours spent - Ricardo was fantastic captain for our trip, showed us how the boat and sails worked and luckily with the weather we got the spinaker up. All of us toon turns steering the boat in which my daughter got a great thrill out of it so hopefully she takes an interest I. Sailing back home.

Dolphins and Whales from Fuseta - The sea was quite rough once we got into the Atlantic but we felt safe. After an hour or so we saw huge flocks of sea birds diving into the water ahead and realised they were fishing for sardines. As we got closer there were dozens of dolphins catching the sardines as well. They were leaping out of the water, swimming under our boat and the sea was so clear we could see them easily. Suddenly amongst all of this two huge whales appeared. We stayed there for over an hour and the crew were as thrilled as we were. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone staying in the area.

Super skipper - Very nice sea trip with explanations and swimming. Skipper Ricardo's great and he speaks French. We had a very good day
