Who we are
Sophia, Sean and Lucy Strevens
We’ve created OceanBlue Oasis because we’re passionate about what the Western Algarve has to offer, and we want to share the kind of adventures and experiences that we enjoy as a family. Originally from Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, we’re a family who love the ocean, build boats and share a passion for everything outdoors.
SEAN STREVENS
Sean started the boat-building company Cheetah Marine when he was a fisherman in Ventnor. Fed up with the fact that traditional fishing boats couldn’t handle the conditions on the south coast, he built a new catamaran that could. Cheetah Catamarans are now sold all over the world. Sean is happiest spear-fishing, surfing or mountain-biking.

Lucy is an oceanographer, personal-trainer and entrepreneur. As well as setting up and running OceanBlue Portugal she has set up OceanBlue Coastal Retreats in Bonchurch, OceanBlue Sea Charters, and professionalised the marketing operations at Cheetah Marine turning it into the global business it is today. Lucy is happiest after an espresso and a run up some steep hills.
