1. Is it possible to rent boats all year round?
Yes, Bolhas Tours offers private boat rentals with crew for several purposes all year round.
2. I have a boating license, is it possible to rent a boat to spend a few hours with my group of friends?
Sesimbra coastal area is a protected maritime area with restricted navigation zones, sandbanks and submerged rocks. Bolhas Tours therefore only rents its boats with its own seasoned staff and crews thus ensure the total safety of the charters.

Yes, in addition to tourist boats, Bolhas Tours also owns boats registered as Local Auxiliary (mandatory for professional works) and its crews have a maritime license in addition to being recreational boaters, which allows them to carry out professional work.
