Quite honestly, I have expected way more for the price of this trip. The sunset was nice, however the fishing and the trip experience itself was poor. The boat crew consisted of 3 people and only 1 spoke with us (he was OK and answered my questions), the other 2 most likely did not speak any English, which would not be any problem, but they looked truly bothered. They did not even say hello or bye to us, even if in their language. Also, the boat was quite dirty. I cant even compare with the other company (X Wing) we had a full day trip with in Setubal, as the attitude of the X wing and Captain Nuno was on a completely different level and he really made us a nice experience. The feedback for Dreamboats is supposed to be a constructive feedback, so they can improve their service in future.

This Dreamboats trip looks like a bait and switch. At a price of more than 500 euros for 3 people, this trip was very disappointing. First, the boat was not the clean shiny Pacifico boat pictured, but much older and dirty. Second, the description states that you can keep what you catch, lunch is included and that the crew would happily fire up the grill and serve the fish you catch. None of that happened. The captain did not speak English and we did not speak Portuguese, so communication was tough. On a positive note, the captain’s helper was friendly, and we did catch some small fish. After complaining when we came back to shore, we got a 30 euro refund for the missing lunch. PS. I would upload pictures but constantly running into a script error, even after allowing cookies, pop-ups, etc.
Update 7/5/2023 Fishingbooker contacted us after review was posted and explained the situation. Apparently, the description of the trip had not been updated on the site and still mentioned the lunch as included, even though it was no longer available for the Dreamboats half-day trips. I appreciate the effort by Fishingbooker to clarify this for us.

Thank you for your choice!
It was excellent weather at the end of February. Waves weren‘t so high. Always take Care of Wind and Waves when you are out on the Atlantic.
