AboutYou send · 80–150 words
Maré Viva plans incentives, meetings and premium group programs across mainland Portugal and Madeira. The team is Lisbon-born and Porto-raised, and still walks every venue before it goes into a proposal.
Most programs mix one big set piece — a private sail, a market buy-out, a dinner facing the river — with quiet, local time that guests talk about afterwards.
- Incentive trips of 40–250 guests
- Product launches and kick-offs
- Medical and pharma congresses
- Premium small groups

Questions planners askYou send · 3–5 answers in your words
Do you take groups under 20?+
Yes, for premium small groups and board retreats. Below 12 guests we usually recommend a partner.
Do you work with agencies as well as corporates?+
Both. Around two-thirds of our work comes through agencies, and we never contact your client directly.
How fast do we get a first proposal?+
Within two working days for most briefs, with costed options and venue holds where needed.
Can you run programs outside Lisbon and Porto?+
Yes. Alentejo and the Douro are run by our own team; Madeira and the Algarve with long-standing partners and a Maré Viva lead on site.

Why confirm your profile
Your page, found by people looking for a DMC.
01
Published for search
Research profiles are kept out of Google. Once you confirm yours, it is published for indexing — in your words, with your photos.
02
Readable by AI assistants
jyper.ai welcomes AI crawlers and serves every directory page as clean text, so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity can read accurate facts about you instead of guessing.
03
Your own AI assistant
Planners ask about programs, seasons and budgets and get answers instantly, plus an indicative estimate from your price guide. It only knows what you choose to share.
04
Briefs, only if you want them
Planners can shortlist up to ten DMCs and send one brief. We only pass briefs to companies that confirm their profile and opt in.
05
Free, and yours to change
Nothing to sign up for or buy. Update it whenever you like, or ask us to remove it.
