When the wind says no
Some mornings the bay is not at its best. The boat stays in, the day becomes the old town, a vineyard or the pool, and the session moves to another morning.
The Week
Seven nights, one easy rhythm.
Days start on the water. Afternoons are yours. Evenings come together around the table.
Faro to Faro, fully organized.
A day at a glance
A typical day of your Algarve week in Lagos.
A rhythm, not a schedule. If the water is perfect, we go. If everyone wants the beach, we stay. Times are a guide.
- 6:30 AM
- Coffee, or yoga on the terrace
- Coffee and the sound of the sea as the light comes up, with yoga on the terrace if you like. Nobody is asked to do anything before the boat.
- 7:00 AM
- On the water, first light
- Out on the bay off Meia Praia while the bay is usually at its calmest. Riders take turns behind the boat with the coach on board; everyone in the group is welcome aboard, rider or not.
- 10:30 AM
- Back to the villa
- Salt on your skin and the stories already starting. A shower, the pool, and a first look at the morning’s footage.
- 1:30 PM
- A long brunch
- The chef’s brunch runs as long as it needs to: eggs, fruit, fish, warm bread and good coffee, at a table nobody hurries to leave.
- 3:00 PM
- Coast, town, beach or nothing
- The coves below Ponta da Piedade, the old town and its market, a tasting at a vineyard inland, a massage, or the shade by the pool. The afternoon is yours.
- 8:00 PM
- Chef’s dinner and wine
- Dinner on the terrace from the open kitchen, every wine poured and explained. Then the stars, and conversation that runs late.
- Midweek
- The boat stays at the marina
- On Wednesday the boat rests: a long lunch in the old town, a vineyard, or a whole day of doing very little.
- Group
- A small group, never more than 12
- Couples, friends and solo travelers who may arrive as strangers and leave as friends. Private groups can have the whole week to themselves.

Every evening
Where the day comes together.
Salt still in your hair, the terrace lit by candles and the sea going gold below. The stories from the water get better with every course.

Your Lagos itinerary, day by day
One week in the Algarve, day by day.
From the moment you land to the last dinner. Follow the trail.
DAY 01Arrival
Land in Faro and find your driver waiting at arrivals. An hour along the coast, the villa comes into view, the pool already holding the afternoon light. Unpack, swim, and gather on the terrace for the chef’s welcome dinner as the first sunset goes down over the Atlantic.
DAY 02On the water
The boat leaves at first light, while the bay is usually at its calmest. A short briefing, then your first sessions with the coach, pitched to your level, whether this is your first ride or your next trick. Back at the villa, a long brunch, and the afternoon is yours.
DAY 03A day ashore
A day ashore for the coast. Riders with time can take a morning session first; then the boat trip along the cliffs to Ponta da Piedade, past Praia Dona Ana and Praia do Camilo, threading between sea stacks and into grottoes where the water turns clear and green. A swim in a cove when the sea allows, lunch back at the villa, then a quiet beach or a tasting at one of the wine estates inland. Dinner is the chef’s table.
DAY 04More sessions
Back on the water early, building on the days before. In the afternoon, sit down with your coach and the footage, and choose the one thing to work on next. Massage or yoga at the villa; the pool needs no arranging at all.
DAY 05Rest day
Wednesday, and the boat stays at the marina. A slower day in town: The Mercado da Avenida by the river, the old town walls and the gilded Igreja de Santo António, a long lunch nobody hurries, and the cliff trail to the Ponta da Piedade lighthouse as the light softens.
DAY 06Your day
Another day ashore, yours to shape. Riders with time can take a morning session first. Then the pool, a vineyard, or Sagres and Cape St. Vincent, about 40 minutes west, where the land runs out and the sun drops into the Atlantic.
DAY 07Final night
A last morning on the water, then the final dinner: a long table, Portuguese wine, the week’s footage, and stories that have grown a little with every telling.
DAY 08Departure
Breakfast on the terrace one more time, then the transfer back to Faro airport, included, and the flight home.
Your afternoons
Nothing on the schedule.
Pool, shade and a long lunch between sessions. Read, sleep or head into the old town. Then golden hour, and the table again. Guests who don’t ride are just as welcome on the boat, at the villa or in town, because the week is one package and every part of it is theirs. The afternoons belong to everyone.
- Mornings on the water
- Afternoons are yours
- Dinner together
Good to know
A week that bends.
We never sell a weather guarantee. We sell a team that knows how to run the week around the conditions.
Riders at every level
Beginners and experienced riders share the boat, with the coach working at each person’s level. Guests who don’t ride are just as welcome.
A slow start, if you want one
Yoga by the pool is included, or simply coffee on the terrace while the light comes up over the Atlantic.
Your crew
A small crew that knows the water.
The people who run the week walk down to the boat with you each morning: a coach who watches how you ride, a crew with the boards and gear ready, a chef who knows what you will want when you come back hungry. They carry the plan so that you can leave it behind.
