En Portiate, we are committed to providing every client with a warm and memorable experience—just as if they were family. With over 30 years in this incredible business, sharing our passion for the sea is what we love most. Every day, we serve our clients with all the expertise we’ve gathered over the years, along with our well-maintained fleet of both sail and motor boats, ready for you and your family to enjoy.
Founded in 1996 by José Taveira, Portiate is a family-owned company specializing in yacht charters in Portugal, with options for rentals with or without a private skipper. Supported by his wife Anna and their three sons, José launched Portiate as a family endeavor, ensuring that the whole family is involved—from customer service to yacht maintenance and captaining.
Our mission is simple: to create unforgettable moments for our guests through personalized service, driven by a true love of the ocean. Our fleet currently includes three sailing catamarans, two monohulls, and four motor boats, all based at the Marina of Portimão. We operate year-round, offering both day trips and multi-day charters from one day up to a week.
This family ethos is central to every interaction and every charter experience. If you’re planning a trip in the Algarve and are considering a sailboat or motorboat rental but aren’t sure of the best option for you, please feel free to reach out. We’re here to help you make the most of your time on the water with Portiate!
