Ricardo was a wonderful host! So kind and attentive. We had technological issues switching from our USA SIM cards to Portuguese SIM cards so we could not figure out how to reach him. We showed up to the marina and the front desk ladies called him right away. He was on his way over and showed us the boat and had some wonderful recommendations for eating and getting around. The boat was clean, quiet, and just what we were looking for. It was incredibly relaxing drinking wine in the evening on the deck.
A note for future travelers: This is very close to the airport. About a 6 euro taxi ride. Its also about 20 minutes walking distance to the Oriente train station. We had roller bags which took a bit of a beating on the cobbled streets and sidewalks. There are lots of restaurants and grocery stores within a 5-10 minute walk. I easily found toiletries in the grocery stores and pharmacies so don't bother packing those things.
About the boat: one reviewer said this is like glamping and I totally agree. There is a fully working WC on the boat but it is tight. There are full showers, large toilet stalls, and sink areas in the marina cabin-about 100 yards away. So we only used the WC on the boat for middle of the night trips. Lastly, the marina is gated and there is a key to get in but we couldn't figure out how to get out....there is a button on the underside of the railing as you go up the ramp to the gate that will open the gate when you are trying to leave the marina.
Thanks for a lovely stay Ricardo!
