How it works
Paddle Away:
We provide the gear, the life jacket, and a quick safety demo
Bags? Change of clothes? We got you!
Come as you are! We provide a convenient place for you to change before heading out. You can also safely leave your bags, shoes, towels, and other belongings with us while you enjoy your time on the water.
Water proof, but not sink proof...
For items you'd prefer to bring along, we provide waterproof containers to keep your phone and small electronics safe and dry on the water.
First time? There's a first time for everything

Safety First
Safety is Our Standard (Not an Option)
At Aquaholic, we don’t just rent equipment; we manage your safety from the moment you step onto the sand until you’re back on shore.
The Gear You Need
Life Vests for Every Body
Safety doesn't have a "one size fits all." We provide Life Jackets in all sizes—from infants and babies to XXL adults.
Protect Your Tech
Don't worry about your phone or keys. We provide waterproof dry boxes with every rental so you can capture the memories without the water damage.
Our "Rapid Response" Guarantee
Unlike many smaller operations, we don’t just watch you from the shore with binoculars. We have a dedicated motorized support boat on standby at all times. Whether you need a quick tip, a change of gear, or a tow back because the wind shifted, we are ready to reach you in a moment’s notice.
⚠️ A Note on Your Safety: Choose Licensed Professionals
As water sports, cave and cliffs sightseeing, become more popular in Portimão, “pop-up” rental stands have begun appearing along the coast. Many of these are unlicensed, uninsured, and operate without safety protocols.
When choosing a rental partner, always look for:
Official Licensing: We are a fully registered and regulated maritime-tourism business.
Insurance: We carry comprehensive liability insurance for all our guests.
Quality Equipment: Our fleet is inspected once at the start of the season by local authorities and daily by us for structural integrity.
DON’T GAMBLE WITH YOUR SAFETY IN THE WATER. An “extra few Euros” saved with an unauthorized vendor isn’t worth the risk of faulty gear or a lack of rescue support. Stick with the established locals who know these waters best.
