Sunset Boat Party
Two hours on the water for golden hour, with your own playlist and a swim stop
Sail out of Marina de Lagos for two hours along the Algarve coast, with the cliffs turning gold as the sun drops. Bring your own playlist, jump off the boat, swim in clear Atlantic water, and take the kayaks out while we are anchored.
The boat takes twelve, so it stays social rather than crowded. Good for a birthday, a stag or hen group, or just an evening that beats another bar.

What else should I know about the Sunset Boat Party?

- Meeting point: from Marina de Lagos, walk towards the Pearl Food Trailer, continue past the Pirate Boat, then follow the waterfront path to the Boomshaka meeting point. A crew member checks you in there and walks you to the boat.
- Please do not go onto the pontoons or board any boat without a crew member
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund. Inside 24 hours the booking is non refundable.
- If the sea or the weather makes it unsafe, you choose: another date, or a full refund.
- Run by a licensed local boat operator. Jah Shaka takes the booking.
When does the Sunset Boat Party run?
We sail in the late afternoon so you are on the water for sunset. The exact departure time moves with the sunset through the season, so we confirm your time by email when we confirm the booking.
When it runs:
- September: every day
- October: Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays
- November to spring: the boat does not sail. The Atlantic gets too rough and the sunsets come too early to make it worth it.
If you are here outside the season, message us. We will point you at what is still running.

Good to know before you book
Where we meet, the best months to go, and how a booking with Jah Shaka works.
Where do we meet?
Where you meet us depends on the activity.
- Boat tours (catamaran, dolphin watching, fishing) depart from Marina de Lagos
- Kayak tours of Ponta da Piedade meet at Praia da Batata
- Surf lessons and surf guiding meet at Meia Praia or Porto de Mós

When is the best time for Sunset Boat Party?
Boat trips out of Lagos run from April to October, with the most stable weather and the calmest sea in May and September. Mornings are usually flatter than afternoons, so an early departure is the safer bet if anyone in the group gets seasick.
How booking works
Sunset Boat Party starts at €45 per person. Pick your date, then pay securely with Stripe at checkout. We then confirm your place with the operator. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Once we have the booking confirmed with the operator, we email you everything you need for the day. Meeting points move now and then, so the email is always the version to trust.
Booked through the shop, run by locals
We are a booking hub, not the operator: every activity is run by a certified local partner, and we tell you who you are meeting and where before you go. One message reaches a real person here for the whole trip, whether that is an activity, a surf lesson or a board rental for the days in between.
Booking with us also unlocks 10% off products in the shop that week. Retail products only: it excludes selected technical products, and does not apply to lessons, rentals or other activities.
