Overview

Neptune is the only boat tour company in Olhão using "bateiras". These are typical boats (have a look on our website to know the full story), wood made and very stable, that can sail with very little water. They provide a calm and relaxing journey, perfect for embracing the slow living lifestyle.
We offer a vast knowledge of various local fishing techniques and shellfishing methods.
A very friendly local guide, as is typical of our company, is your travel companion.

What To Expect

Caique Bom Sucesso (Pass By)

A replica of the boat that, in 1808, crossed the Atlantic Ocean carrying 19 (the official number) fishermen from Olhão to Brazil, where the king of Portugal was in refuge. The mission was to inform the king that the Napoleonic invader had retreated due to the bravery of irregular troops composed of fishermen and peasants from the Olhão area, with the support of a few Portuguese soldiers who had remained during the invasions. The boat is located in front of Olhão Markets, which is the main public fish market in the Algarve. This market, which also includes a building for the sale of agricultural products, was constructed in 1908 to mark the centenary of Olhão's elevation to town status. This was, in fact, another reason for the journey of Bom Sucesso caique to Brazil: to demand from the king the administrative autonomy of Olhão from Faro.
