Azores Boat Adventures is a Rabo de Peixe–based boat operator on São Miguel island offering private and guided coastal experiences along the island’s north shore. From the Port of Rabo de Peixe the company runs a curated selection of trips designed to showcase volcanic caves, hidden beaches, prime surf breaks, and abundant marine life. Trip options include a private 3‑hour Sunset Tour for swimming, cave exploration, and sea-front sunset viewing; a four‑hour Coastal Fishing trip that highlights local techniques from coastal sledding to deep‑sea fishing aboard a fully equipped boat; a three‑hour Cave Tour departing Rabo de Peixe’s Port with opportunities to snorkel and search for dolphins and turtles; and a Surf Tour + Boat Tour that accesses exclusive surf spots reachable only by boat.
Crews are described in trip materials as knowledgeable guides familiar with the north coast and local conditions. Boats operate from Rabo de Peixe, part of the Azores (Açores), and itineraries emphasize safety, natural scenery, and small-group experiences. Equipment for snorkeling, fishing, and surfing access is provided according to each trip’s description. Booking information, exact departure times, and group size limits are published with each tour option. Azores Boat Adventures focuses on short, activity-packed outings that let guests experience São Miguel’s marine landscapes without long offshore passages.
