Hi Biffa ? Im still waiting for answer to my question please?
Concerning that catamaran ferry from Faro?

Hi Ellie

You can't book - just turn up and wait for the boat at 10 am or 11,30 am. Boat holds 100 so usually no problem. 7 euros there and back deliberately priced to dissuade too many wanting to go they tell me!

Yes smooth ride as you are still within the sand bars although the actual beach faces open sea.

It is part of Ria Formosa and they do nature trips by boat as well as the straightforward ferry.

Thank you for your kind words.

As my close friends will know I have simply given up drinking and eating and get up at 3 am each morning to slave over te keyboard!
