There is also a table with two chairs at the stern of the boat for meals. Lastly and for a beautiful swim there is a wooden platform at the rear of the boat house that will allow you to dive and climb onto the boat via a ladder that sits in the water.

The Mulubinba is the way to live this mixture of sea, ria, beach and boat life. Comfortable and cosy, she gives you the chance to live the Ria the best possible way, aboard a classic boat. ##### Fernando T.

Amazing location off quiet beach beautiful boat great hosts. Will stay again in spring. ##### Erik L. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise 30 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We spent an incredible three nights aboard the Mulunbinba. Thank you to Tiago, Ivan and team for your care and attention leading up to our stay. It was the perfect place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary! We enjoyed a comfortable, relaxing time and made the most of lazy evenings on the top deck enjoying the beautiful sunsets, foraging for cockles on the shore of Cultura Island, exploring nearby desert islands by the motor boat or SUP provided within the boat booking. We can’t wait to return next year and stay this time for longer! ##### Denise Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy W. 7 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Weekend Stay We had a fabulous weekend on the boat. The hosts met us at the dock and took us out there, explained how everything worked. There were also a few nice surprises left for us ! We were with our 2 sons age 11 and 15 and they had a fabulous time jumping off the top of the boat, paddle boarding, swimming over to the nearby beach and driving around in the dingy. We went over to the village of Culatra which was a wonderful traditional fishing village - all on the beach with no roads! We walked along the walkways to the beach on the south side of the Island, literally miles of pristine white sand and clear blue water. At the end there was a little town called Faro, with a lighthouse and nice beach bar for lunch and back to the boat for the lovely sunset. All in a fantastic experience ! Would have liked to stay another couple of days! ##### Amy W.
