Alvor Boat Trips

About

Alvor Boat Trips, founded in 1997, offers a unique combination of adventure, comfort and eco‑responsibility on Portugal’s first solar‑powered tourist boat, the “Alvor Flor do Sol”. Each excursion is guided by a seasoned Portuguese‑Irish crew that shares insider knowledge of the Algarve’s coastal scenery, wildlife, and hidden coves. Whether you’re a seasoned fisher, a nature enthusiast, or simply looking for a romantic sunset cruise, the company provides a range of options—from family‑friendly fishing trips to a champagne‑lit sunset cruise over the sunset‑lit Atlantic. The fleet is fully licensed, insured, and fitted with all safety equipment, and every trip includes free refreshments, gear, and, for fishing routes, a fishing license. The experience is especially memorable for its sustainable approach, as the solar‑powered design ensures a quiet, low‑emission ride that lets you immerse yourself in the lush Algarve coast without damaging the fragile marine environment. Typical itineraries are 2‑5 hours long, giving ample time to explore scenic spots such as the world‑famous Benagil Cave, the picturesque town of Silves, and secluded coves along the coastline. Each tour requires advance booking during peak season, but a ticket booth is open daily for walk‑in customers. With rates ranging from €20 for a child on a family fishing trip up to €60 for a full day Silves River excursion, the service offers affordable luxury for families, couples, and solo travellers alike. Visiting Alvor Boat Trips means enjoying a uniquely sustainable adventure that blends thrilling fishing, breathtaking sights, and heartfelt hospitality—making it a memorable highlight for any trip to the Algarve.
