Are you getting nostalgic about the approaching end of Summer? Already looking back on the endless afternoons and golden scents of warmth? Or maybe you (like me) live in the north of Europe and did not even have a proper Summer as such? Even if you are reading this from the other side of the globe and just want to cut your Winter short; You should definitely visit this southern european gem of a region - the Algarve.
We are on a Boat, on its mission to help you enjoy our oceans on a sustainable way, provides you with a platform where you can book eco-friendly boats and experiences in different locations of those beautiful southern-Atlantic waters. As a born and raised “Algarvia” myself, let me introduce them to you:
In Portimão, to the western side of the region and where you can find golden cliffs and transparent blue waters, you should definitely take some time to also check the beautiful river “Arade”. Home for hundreds of diverse flora and fauna species, this marshland ecosystem has always held an important role for the local populations, entangling its beautiful landscape in the region’s history and identity. Departing from the “Marina de Portimão” you can yourself experience it without intruding on the natural balance, by booking one of Algarve Sun Boat Trips rental options. This local company, with a fleet of solar boats made in Algarve, is invested in providing you with an unforgettable and zero polluting impact experience. You can choose from their three listings: a sunset party tour, a private half day trip, or a one hour tour;
More to the center of the Algarve, departing from the famous fishermen town of Albufeira, you can book the luxurious catamaran Lagoon 42
for an entire week of sailing along the coast with your family or group of friends. This spacious vessel hosts up to 16 people in its 3 cabins and has all the commodities you could wish for. If you are lucky enough you can maybe even be visited by one of the groups of dolphins who are often spotted playing in these waters. The Lagoon 42 is the perfect option for the sailing aficionados who want to visit the Algarve from coast to coast while minimizing their CO2 impact!
If on the other hand you are heading for a short trip and choose to visit the Sotavento - the eastern side of Algarve - Tavira is then the place to rent your eco-boat. Another estuary city, it is also one of the several municipalities in the region where the Ria Formosa - a vast wetland and protected natural park - spreads into. Considered a paradise for birdwatchers, it is an important stop for many species en route on their Europe-Africa annual migration flights. And what better way to explore such rich diversity than with Solar Moves? This strongly environmentally conscious company uses solar powered boats (yes! The same made in Algarve ones!) to guide you through the natural and cultural history of the Ria Formosa and offers six different rental options for interesting and informative tours around Tavira, but can also accommodate to your own preferences.
So you are set! Just choose your preferred eco-friendly boat trip on www.weareonaboat.com and treat yourself to an endless summer experience in warm Algarve, knowing that you will not be disturbing its important natural ecosystems and sustainably get involved with the magic of its culture and people!
(And yes, I am shamelessly biased here 😉)
