Drinks and games were available on the catamaran which was nice. The staff had ginger on board and helped one person who got sea sick. They were prepared! The captain (Rui?) helped my friends and I out when we encountered some problems getting back to our Airbnb after. He also made some great restaurant recommendations (crab curry in Alvor was delicious!)”
