Meeting point:

Please go to the entrance of Pier A/B, in Portimão Marina. The captain will meet you there in person. The pier entrance is at the exact location shown on the map. It's a glass gate that says A/B, in a pedestrian area with a yellow pavement behind the parking lot. Give yourself some extra time to park. During summer, it may be difficult to park near the pier, but there's sufficient parking near the Marina's entrance roundabout. In July and August, there may also be more traffic than normal, so it's essential that you check your route and travel as far in advance as necessary.
