Who Are We
Carla and Armando are the heart and soul behind Sunset Sailing Algarve – a couple whose passion for the sea, as well as for each other, is reflected in every private boat tour in the Algarve.
Driven by an adventurous spirit, they once crossed the Atlantic aboard their catamaran – a Nautitech 475, which is in fact one of the few in the world. After this remarkable journey, they returned to Portugal to begin a new chapter on the waters of the Ria Formosa in Faro.
Their story is not only one of love and freedom, but also of a deep connection with nature. At Sunset Sailing, they invite you to experience more than just a boat trip in the Algarve – instead, it’s a chance to reconnect, relax, and explore hidden corners of the Ria Formosa Natural Park with those who truly love what they do.
Each tour is therefore a celebration of the sea, of life, and of the moments that bring people closer. So, if you’re seeking tranquillity, authenticity, and unforgettable memories on a private boat tour, Sunset Sailing Algarve is the perfect choice.
