“The beach has been part of my life since I was a child”, Rui Martins, the company’s founder, told Central Magazine. “I grew up in Armação de Pera, and it was this connection to the sea that led me to create Moments Watersports in 2014 and, later, Tridente Boat Trips. Being surrounded by such a beautiful coastline makes you appreciate what we have here in the Algarve. Even today, I feel proud to be able to share this region with visitors from all over the world.”

“We started with one boat and a simple goal: to offer visitors a more personal and authentic way to discover the Algarve coastline. It was a natural step in a journey that had already begun several years earlier”, he recounted. “Today, Moments Watersports and Tridente Boat Trips complement each other and represent different aspects of the same passion for the sea.”

An authentic experience

Tridente Boat Trips provides a sea-bound tour that stretches from Armação de Pera beach to the iconic Benagil Cave. “This coastline is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful areas in Portugal”, he stated. “Along the route, visitors can admire hidden beaches, impressive cliffs, unique rock formations and some of the world’s most famous sea caves. Naturally, Benagil Cave is one of the main highlights and one of the most sought-after attractions in the Algarve. One of the advantages of our tours is that we operate with small boats, which allows us to get much closer to the coastline and enter several caves, creating a more immersive and authentic experience.”

The company’s standard offer is a group tour, where people from all walks of life are gathered aboard and taken out to sea, their experience bolstered by professional guides with deep knowledge of the area. It’s worth noting that these tours are pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your best friend for the ride. Apart from these group tours, they also offer private ones, allowing for a personalised experience where guests can enjoy the trip with just their family and friends, exploring the coastline at their own pace.

More than just a destination

“The Algarve is an incredibly complete destination, with something to offer everyone,” he mentioned. “This is a destination where people can create unforgettable memories together, both on land and at sea, and I believe that is one of the reasons why so many visitors return year after year. Most importantly, I hope people continue to enjoy everything this region has to offer while helping to preserve its natural beauty for future generations.”

Rui is contributing to this ideal of tourism himself through Moments Watersports and Tridente Boat Trips, focusing on creating even better experiences for guests. “Our goal is to continue growing sustainably, while maintaining the personal approach that defines our companies and helping to promote Armação de Pêra and the Algarve as leading destinations for maritime tourism”, he concluded.
