Algarve: your private yacht leaves from Vilamoura Marina
Golden cliffs, caves you can only reach by sea and crystal-clear water. Pick your route and let the crew take care of the rest.
You’re going to love the Algarve
The Algarve is Portugal’s southern coast at its best: golden cliffs carved by the Atlantic into arches, sea caves and hidden beaches, with fishing villages, pine-covered hills and around 300 days of sun a year. Vilamoura, in the centre of the coast, has one of the largest marinas in the country and is the starting point for some of the most spectacular boat trips in Europe.
Many of the Algarve’s best sights, such as the Benagil cave, the Marinha beach and the rock formations of Albufeira, are only fully appreciated from the sea. A short sail takes you under the cliffs, through caves and into coves where there is no road.

Boat trips and attractions in the Algarve
The Algarve’s most famous sights are better by boat. The Benagil cave, hidden beaches and sea arches are far easier to reach and far more impressive from the water, and a trip from Vilamoura combines caves, swimming stops and a sunset over the Atlantic.
