About us

Do you LOVE the sea as I do? Does cruising the water, swimming and snorkeling in clear water, and finding secluded beaches with nothing but sand?

Hi! I'm Captain Mark. Originally from Long Island, New York, now living in the downtown Historic section of Setubal by the mouth of the River Sado. I just got my Portuguese boating license and have started exploring the beautiful coastlines between Setubal and Sesimbra as well as the sandy beaches and historic ruins on the shores of Troia.

Whether you have a boat or not, if you love the water this group is for you!

I rent small powerboats suitable for 6 to 10 of us to enjoy a half day or full day cruising, swimming, and exploring and/or fishing. I post planned cruises with date, details of the boat reserved, the plan for the cruise, and the cost. Members can sign up to reserve a spot on the cruise. The cost will be the boat rental and gas expenses divided by the number of attendees (typically 60-80€ per person. Everyone brings their own food and drink, though sharing is encouraged 😊

All ages 18-88 are welcomed - no boating experience necessary!
