About Us

Born from the Ria,
built for you

Formosa Club was born from a simple belief — that the Ria Formosa deserves to be experienced properly. Not rushed, not overcrowded. Just you, the water, and someone who genuinely loves this place.

We are a family-run operation based in Faro Marina, offering private and small-group boat experiences across one of Europe's most extraordinary natural parks.
