For those who have never done a boat trip in Lagos with Bom Dia Boat Trips, here is a detailed picture of what awaits you: from the first contact to the return to the marina, everything is designed to live a safe, relaxed, authentic and memorable experience. Each stage has been designed to ensure not only the comfort and safety of passengers, but also moments of real immersion in the Algarve coast, whether on a traditional sailboat trip or a more intimate tour through the caves.
The Start: Check-in and Reception at the Store
It all starts with the arrival at the Bom Dia Boat Trips store, located in the iconic Lagos Marina. This is where the check-in takes place: we confirm your booking, clarify any last minute doubts and if necessary give some practical recommendations, such as the importance of applying sunscreen before boarding, take a bottle of water and be prepared for the sun, the wind and possible changes in temperature at sea.
Our reception team is always ready to welcome visitors with a smile, offering a personalized and relaxed service, aiming to create, from the beginning, a warm atmosphere. This first contact is crucial as it sets the tone for the whole tour: a leisurely experience where each visitor is treated as part of our family.
Preparation and Boarding
Shortly before departure time, a member of the crew accompanies passengers to the boarding area. This route, made on foot by areas of the Marina of Lagos, offers a privileged view of the historic city, the Ponta da Bandeira Fort, the Meia Praia and the entrance to the bar. During this trip, the guide shares curiosities about what is being seen, explaining, for example, the origins of the city of Lagos, the historical importance of the port and details about the boats that circulate there. This moment transforms the simple way to the boat into an introduction to the maritime and cultural heritage of the region.
Upon arrival at the pier, boarding is done with all care and safety. The crew is attentive to all details, offering special support to children, the elderly or those who for any reason feel less comfortable with boarding. The goal is to create an environment of trust, where everyone can relax and start enjoying the experience.
Security Briefing at the Pier
Before lifting anchor, all passengers receive a safety briefing, held outside the boat, at the boarding dock. This moment is critical to ensure that everyone feels safe and well informed. During this explanation, the basic operation of the boat, the expected behavior during the trip and some important guidelines are presented, such as the location of life jackets, safe areas on board and what to do in case of nausea or discomfort.
This approach allows even those who have never made a boat trip to feel calm, prepared and confident to enjoy the ride without fear.
Tour
As soon as we leave the marina, the real show begins. Depending on the tour chosen, you can sail quietly along the coast, contemplating the majestic golden cliffs of Ponta da Piedade, the small caves carved over thousands of years by the sea, and secret beaches that only reveal themselves from the water.
Throughout the course, our sailors share curiosities about the Algarve coast, point out rock formations with peculiar names, such as the “Cathedral”, the “Elephant” or the “Camel”, and whenever the sea allows, they approach more remote areas, providing unique angles for photographs and moments of contemplation.
On warmer days, some tours include stops for a refreshing swim in crystal clear waters. For those who take mask and tube, it is possible to take advantage of a small snorkeling session, exploring the marine life and observing the submerged rocks in full transparency of the Atlantic.
The Landing and the Call for Feedback
After the tour, we return calmly to the marina. The disembarkation is done with the same attention and care as the boarding, ensuring that everyone leaves safely and calmly.
In the end, many visitors take the opportunity to take a last photo with the crew, clarify doubts about future reservations or simply thank for the experience lived. This is also the moment when we invite everyone to share their experience on social networks, be it Google, TripAdvisor, Instagram or Facebook. This feedback not only helps other travellers get to know our services better, but it is also a valuable way of motivating our team, who work every day to make each tour special. The words and photos shared by our customers are a source of pride for us and help us to continuously improve.
