About

Rent a boat with or without skipper and enjoy Ria Formosa at your own pace and time

For your convenience, we can also provide a skipper to take you to the best places in the safest way.

To rent our boats, the nominated skipper must be over 18 years old and have the relevant Navigation License.

The Authorized Navigation Area is only inside the Ria Formosa Lagoon and it's not allowed to exit to the ocean.

Boat: 3DTender XPRO 535 - 5,3 meters Engine: 60hp 4 strokes Capacity: 6 people

Exclusions:

  • Fuel
  • Damage Deposit - 1.000€ to be paid before boarding

Please note: The person in charge of the crew must be of legal age, responsible for the boat and the people in it. ISea Charter reserves the right to deny the delivery of the boat if the responsible does not appear apt to assume its responsibilities. In this case, only the amount of the rental will be refunded. The person responsible for the crew shall take possession of the vessel after completion of the formalities (security, inventory), the collection of administrative documents and the necessary training and navigation instructions. The renter must comply with the current navigation regulations and the instructions he receives from ISea Charter and from the local maritime authorities. Night navigation, towing, lending or boat hire are prohibited.

FUEL

The vessels are delivered with the deposits full and must be returned under the same conditions. If the boat is not returned with the deposits full, a fee of € 150 will be charged for each deposit of fuel used. If, due to tides, it is not possible to enter the dock at the end of the day to refuel the boats, ISea Charter will calculate the fuel consumed and this will be charged to the customer.

What to bring

  • Skipper License
  • Passport
  • We recommend comfortable clothes, sports shoes and, for sunset tours, warmer clothes, although most of the nights are relatively warm. On the summer, bring your Bathing Suits, Beach Towels, Sunscreen and hats.

Adventure Tips

Check Tide Schedules

Tides strongly influence water depth in the lagoon; plan rentals around high tide to avoid shallow areas.

Bring Waterproof Bags

Keep your belongings dry due to potential spray or light waves when piloting the RIB on open water.

Wear Sun Protection

Use sunscreen, hats, and polarized sunglasses to limit sun exposure on the water’s reflective surface.

Confirm Local Regulations

If you rent without a skipper, ensure you understand local boating rules and speed limits to navigate safely.
