Formosamar

Formosamar operates boat tours out of the Doca de Recreio (marina) in Faro, running trips into the Ria Formosa natural park and out to the barrier islands. The company holds RNAAT licence number 123/2009 and carries Turismo de Portugal's Clean and Safe certification. The tour range covers dolphin-watching trips out into the open Atlantic, guided bird-watching in the Ria Formosa's channels and salt marshes, and island trips to spots including Ilha Deserta and Ilha do Farol, alongside private charter bookings for groups. Tours are booked through a FareHarbor booking system embedded directly on the company's own site, with published 2026 prices running from EUR 25 up to EUR 135 depending on the trip. Formosamar's boats depart directly from central Faro, making it one of the more accessible Ria Formosa operators for visitors staying in the city itself rather than the coastal resort towns. The company maintains active Instagram and Facebook pages and collects reviews through Google.
