Additional Information

Embark on a full day of maritime adventure as you feast your eyes on one of the most breathtaking coastlines in all of Europe.
Setting sail from Portimão, we’ll journey by the charming fishing village of Ferragudo and gaze upon the historic castle that guards the beachfront.
As we leisurely cruise east towards Benagil, make sure to have your camera ready to immortalise the extraordinary seaside backdrop.
Once we reach the caves of Benagil, our nimble boats will guide you through varying caverns filled with awe-inspiring rock formations.
We’ll then conduct a guided transfer of our guests to the beach for some much deserved relaxation and solar indulgence.
On the beach, our crew will treat you to a mouth-watering beach barbecue consisting of bread, Algarve salad, variety of grilled meats, seasonal fruit, a choice of white or red wine, water, and orangeade. During this time, you can unwind under the sun, refresh yourself in our crystal-clear waters, or partake in some fun-filled activities.
As our journey takes us back, our course will lead us by some of the stunning, hidden beach enclaves around Carvoeiro.
This is one day you certainly don’t want to miss!

Day beautiful and repeatable - It was a magnificent experience. We were only traveling two Spaniards in the catamaran and they took care to come with us and explain everything. Very attentive staff, some impressive caves that we were taught in boats, the beach, where we were offered all the food and drink we wanted, was super cool; it was full of seagulls that did not disturb anything and umbrellas, put by the staff, so that we could shelter from the sun. We don't stop taking pictures during the whole excursion. Highly recommended. Repeat them. Thanks for the experience.

Great vibes and very happy with the trip - Had the best day with the catamaran crew. They were all engaging and very friendly and they spoiled us with a trip on the speedboat too to visit the caves and I got to drive it as well. The bbq food was tasty and the secluded beach just gorgeous.

Positives - The scenary... - Positives - The scenary and the caves viewed from small boats. Negatives - the wait at the start, we were there on time and embarked at 9.50 for a supposed 10.00 start. We had to wait over an hour for a coach of passengers to arrive!
