Boat Trip from Portimão to the Medieval City of Silves

Join us on this relaxing boat trip from Portimão to the medieval city of Silves as we go along the Arade River. You will meet our experienced crew in Portimão and head directly towards Silves. We have various boats such as motorboats, catamarans and traditional boats where we can accommodate different group sizes and preferences.

With its rich history and its characteristic red-brick castle, an excursion to Silves is something you can't miss. Once we arrive, you will be able to walk around Silves for 1.5 hours and get to know its charming churches and landmarks, such as Sé Catedral de Silves and the famous Castelo de Silves. Our knowledgable crew will be sure to share with you some of its history and recommend you the best places to try some local delicacies.

We will have a 15-minute stop that you can use to take a refreshing swim, or relax and enjoy your complimentary iced tea. On our way back to Portimão, make sure to get a good look at some animals along the Arade River such as flamingos, turtles and storks.
