We absolutely loved this boat trip and couldn’t recommend it more! We went at sunset, and it was truly one of the highlights of our time in Lagos. The captain and crew were so helpful, welcoming, and attentive throughout the entire experience. They provided a beautiful charcuterie board, gave us an amazing tour of the coastline, and took us incredibly close to some of the most breathtaking cliffs and scenery. The views were absolutely stunning, and the crew made sure we had plenty of opportunities to take it all in. The best part was when they found the perfect spot to park the boat so we could relax, enjoy our charcuterie, and watch the sunset over the water. It was such a special and memorable experience. If you’re visiting Lagos, this is an absolute must-do! We would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you to the captain and crew for such a wonderful evenin

The best activity for her hen party, and was honestly the highlight of our trip! Steven our skipper was amazing, and would definitely reccomend booking this when visiting Lagos!
We had a wonderful trip. Our boat captain was great and very accommodating. He had a really nice personality and was very friendly. The boat was very nice and clean and operated well. There were 6of us and we all enjoyed the tour very much. Would highly recommend this for anyone.
Such an amazing experience with Esteban!! We had an amazing 3 and half hour boat trip for our friend’s birthday! Esteban is such a great skipper and took amazing care of us! Would book again!
We did a 5 hour tour with Esteban and it was one of the top highlights of our 2 week holiday to Portugal. It was beautiful, relaxing and very comfortable. Esteban was very knowledgeable and shared so much information with us about the history and culture of the area. The boat was super clean and a very professional experience (but also warm and personable). I highly recommend this for a specific add on to your time here.
Enjoyed every single minute of this tour. Esteban, our captain, was fantastic, had excellent humour and was very knowledgeable about the coast!!!!. Highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to book a boat along the Algarve coast.
Highly recommend! I booked this boat trip for my birthday and it was the highlight of the day! Our guides were so great, the boat was beautiful, and the views of the coastline were unreal. I loved that we had time to get out and swim/paddleboard. It was the perfect excursion!
Our trip with Magic Moments was absolutely magnificent! We experienced magic more than once. First, we were blown away by the breathtaking beauty of Portugal’s coastline—the stunning caves, golden beaches, and the endless ocean. Then came another unforgettable surprise: a birthday cake delivered to us on a SUP board! It was such a unique and memorable moment. We’re incredibly grateful to the Magic Moments team for creating such a special experience and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Portugal!
We had a great time with Magic moments. Esteban was our captain and he and his companion were very insightful and showed us around and told us about the scenery and stories. We also got a food platter and drinks after spending time jumping in the ocean. All around a great tour and highly recommended.
Experience was super. Michael was brilliant and made us feel very welcome amd willing to go the extra mile to make us enjoy the trip even more. Highly recommend these guys. Very clean tidy and has the essentials you neeed. Thank you for making our memories magical.
What a great afternoon my wife and 2 college aged daughters had. The boat was so cool, the tour of the shoreline and caves came alive, the swim and paddle boards to to the beaches, the food and drink and a big celebration of my daughter's 21st' birthday. You guys made this day very special and memorable. Highly recommend for any family staying in Lagos. Worth every Euro we spent.
Stefan and Michael were amazing hosts. The boat was perfect and comfortable. We had the best time exploring the history and natural beauty of the rock formations and stunning beaches along the shoreline and jumping in the gorgeous water!
We had a wonderful time out on the Algarve coast seeing the sights with Estevan. The trip was both educational and relaxing with great wine and cheese. We saw the caves as well as the sunset on our ride back to the marina. We highly recommend doing a private boat tour with Magic Moments
They went above and beyond to make our day special! They even gave us some cheese and wine, which was an added bonus! This is a must do!
We had a lovely half day trip. Great boat, great captains, highly recommend. This was my favorite day in Lagos. We loved learning about the rock formations and taking a swim and did some paddleboarding too!
What a great experience!! Steven and Michael were great. They were very attentive and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed the tour along the shore then to the "lake" for some paddleboarding , swimming and wine drinking. Good times!
Esteban and Miguel were very knowledgeable, and have great demeanor and energy! It was a very fun afternoon, and well worth it.
Esteban was very nice and shared a lot of the region’s history through the trip. He was helpful and cautious with the paddleboard. Also helped me with a proposal and shared some complementary champagne to celebrate :) Would definitely recommend the trip.
This is an absolute must do experience if you come to Lagos. Surreal way to see all the ochre rock formations, cliffs and beaches in a way that makes this place even more beautiful. The crew is amazing, very warm and kind and very familiarized with the place. You can relax with a few drinks and a nice meal, and even swim or padel on a board while the ship is anchored. The ship is very comfortable and has a lot of space for sit, lay or eat with your guests. Would do it 1000 more times! Thank you guys for the journey!
Esteban and Felix were the best hosts. What a fun relaxing day lounging on the boat. We had fun paddle boarding and learning about Portugal. You don’t want to miss this magical day on the water.
We went with Steven and Carol. They were AMAZING!!!! Really catered to our needs and we’re all round the absolute best. Would recommend to anyone! Would go again.
Trip was canceled by the operator the morning of due to weather. Confirmed later that morning that the boat would not go out and was told I’d be refunded. No refund was given despite the cancellation initiated by the operator. I’m now having to dispute with my credit card company.
We have been coming to lagos for the past 14 years and have been doing the bigger boat trips , this has been by far the best experience we have had in all that time . It was much more intimate and a lot of fun on paddle boards and crazy sofa float for kids and captain stayed out to let us watch the sunset. Would highly recommend for a small group . We will be most certainly doing this again. Best day in lagos. Thanks
Exceptional boat trip today with great skipper Stephen and Carol.. They were both very informative and attentive. I would highly recommend this trip as part of your visit to Lagos.
Amazing experience, book this now. They were great with the kids and were very knowledgeable about the area. Thanks for the wine!!!
This day on the boat was a perfect way to see the Lagos/ Luz area of southern Portugal. The tame at Magic Moments were wonderful from communication to service. We had the day of our lives in such a beautiful location.
Charlie & his wife were an absolute dream! They made us feel so comfortable and really catered to what we wanted to do/ see on the cruise! We were on a friends trip, but this experience could really work for any kind of group (family/ couple/ friends/ even solo)! Couldn’t recommend this experience more :)
Highly recommend if you are looking for a personal experience, which doesn’t feel touristic. The hosts were very nice, shared interesting stories and were able to accommodate our preferences.
Nice boat! Captain Michael was kind and informative. He took his time explaining the area. He gave up plenty of time to relax and enjoy the beautiful views and sunset.
This tour was top-notch! Our family had the most fun afternoon on our own private boat. First, the views. It looked like a post card. So beautiful. Our captain shared so much history of this amazing coast. Then we anchored and took out the stand up boards, swam and just had the most relaxing and luxurious afternoon. Charles was very attentive and had all kinds of drinks and snacks for us. Even opened a bottle of Vino Verde when we came back on the boat.
The ocean was gorgeous! We went swimming and paddle boarding! definitely do recommend this booking this boat as it will be an amazing experience! We found loads of fish big and small aswell!
We first stopped at alvor and had a quick bite to eat.Then we looked for a nice place to snorkel but some rocks then we had a nice paddle board
Charles was a great guide. Gave us history, took us swimming and SUPing, and went out of his way to make our trip a success. One of the best outings of our vacation. Boat was very nice, provided drinks, towels, water, everything we needed. Left us with recommendations for restaurants, sight seeing, and his favorites in the Algarve. Highly recommend Charles and Magic Moments.
This is worth every penny! It was like a limousine on the beautiful water. The caves and small beaches were a stunning view from the boat which you wouldn’t see by car. Michael was a fantastic host and so informative about the history of the area also had Prosecco and wine on board which was not expected he even stopped so we could have a swim so thank you Michael! Overall an amazing trip and one of the highlights of our holiday.
We spent a magical day to celebrate my birthday with close friends , a tour of the caves and then we spent a few hours at Praia da Luz bay on paddle boards eating and drinking and spending quality time with friends, this is very special and Michael was a perfect skipper for the day!
We had such an amazing time on our afternoon boat trip. Our boat driver Michael did a great job. So much fun. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an incredible boat trip yesterday with Magic Moments in Lagos! From start to finish everything was perfect for us – and that was in huge part down to our amazing skipper, Meycon. Meycon went above and beyond to make our experience extra special. He was not friendly, professional and extremely passionate about making sure we had a great time. He personally prepared fresh oysters for us on board which was a thoughtful and unexpected touch that really made the day feel extra luxurious and unique! The views were breathtaking, the atmosphere was relaxed, and we felt completely taken care of. If you’re looking for a memorable boat tour with amazing service and a personal touch, this is it. Thank you, Meycon and Magic Moments – we’re excited for our next trip already!
Fabulous boat tour starting at Lagos marina and travelling along the coast, viewing the caves and rock formations. Then we dropped anchor and were able to swim in the sea. Michael was a great skipper and we all had a wonderful time.
It was an amazing experience. One of my favourite boat tours. The boat captain showed us the amazing caves and also allowed us to choose how long we wanted to spend at each location which was brilliant. Would recommend this boat to anyone.
Excellent experience! Maycon and Sergei were great and the boat was fantastic. Would completely recommend for a full your of the coast
We had such a fantastic boat trip yesterday with Magic Moments in Lagos! Our skipper, Meycon, was an absolute legend. He went above and beyond to make sure we were having the best time – navigating the beautiful coastline, bringing us to see different caves and sharing some history along the way too! And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better… he went to collect some fresh local oysters and prepared them for us! They were delicious!! The whole experience was relaxed, fun, and full of little surprises that made it truly memorable. If you’re thinking of booking with Magic Moments – do it. And if you get Meycon as your skipper, you’re in for a treat.
From start to finish, our experience with this boat company was absolutely seamless! The booking process was effortless, and the customer service was nothing short of exceptional. Our boat driver, Meycon, was brilliant —friendly, knowledgeable, and an incredibly skilled captain. He truly went above and beyond to make our day special, even taking the time to fetch fresh oysters for us! He also drove around the caves and told us lots of fun facts. The boat itself was stunning, impeccably maintained, and equipped with paddle boards. The food Meycon prepared was delicious, making our time on the water even more enjoyable. It was the perfect day out. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful experience. I can’t wait to come back and I will 100% book magic moments boat!!
This was an amazing trip! We enjoyed the experience and the crew was very nice and helpful. We would recommend this charter to anyone who is interested.
We had such a great time! The boat was super comfy, the views were amazing, and the whole vibe was just perfect. We got to check out the caves, do some stand-up paddle, swim a bit — everything was fun and super chill. Maycon was awesome, really friendly and made sure everything went smoothly. Totally recommend it!
⸻ I just had the best experience during a day of sailing! I totally recommend the service—Micon was a fantastic host: incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. Thank you so much for making the day unforgettable. Obrigada!
Great experience and great time at sea. Delivered with care. Highly recommend. Team are thorough on explaining giving you options which adds up.
We had the best time on our private boat trip with Magic Moments in Lagos! From start to finish, it was just perfect. The boat itself is gorgeous, really clean, comfy, and had plenty of space for all of us to relax, sunbathe, and enjoy the views. Cruising along the coastline, especially around the caves and cliffs near Ponta da Piedade, was just stunning. We seen so many dolphins . We stopped for a swim in the water and had some great snacks and drinks on board too. Honestly one of the highlights of our trip to the Algarve. Can’t recommend Magic Moments enough if you’re looking for something a bit special while you’re in Lagos!
Great family trip today, a great experience our kids had a great day. Highly recommend if you are visiting Lagos and want to charter your own boat
Amazing views, a great way to experience the best of Algarve in an organized way. The crew was professional and clearly knew what they were doing. Highly recommend!
