Connect with the elements and discover the Algarve at the pace of the wind. Our 7-hour private sailing charter aboard the elegant Beneteau Oceanis 41.1 is designed for those who appreciate the tranquility, grace, and authenticity of true sailing. Departing from the Marina de Portimão, this full-day journey trades the roar of engines for the gentle sound of waves and the snap of the sails.
The Oceanis 41.1 is renowned for its spacious cockpit, wide swim platform, and smooth handling. With a full day at your disposal, you have the luxury of time to explore the coastline’s hidden gems, anchor in silent bays, and experience the Mediterranean lifestyle at its finest.
Authentic Sailing Experience: Feel the power of the wind as our expert skipper hoists the sails. Experience the unique silence and serenity that only a sailing yacht can provide.
Full-Day Coastal Exploration: 7 hours allows you to venture further. Discover the dramatic cliffs of Benagil or the western charm of Lagos and Alvor.
Spacious Beneteau Design: Relax on a modern 12-meter yacht featuring a large open cockpit, plush seating, and a foldable transom that creates a massive “beach club” at water level.
Secluded Anchorages: Visit secret coves and turquoise lagoons inaccessible to larger tour boats. Enjoy extended stops for swimming and snorkeling in pristine waters.
Bespoke Dining: Opt for a leisurely lunch on board (upon request) or let us drop you at an exclusive seaside restaurant for fresh grilled fish and local wine.
Eco-Friendly Adventure: Minimize your carbon footprint while enjoying the natural beauty of the Algarve’s rock formations and sea caves.
Option 1: The Eastern Route (The Cave Coast) Sail toward the sunrise. We navigate the stunning cliffs of Carvoeiro, passing the “Smugglers’ Caves” and the Arade River mouth. We’ll visit the iconic Benagil area and drop anchor at Praia da Marinha—perfect for a long lunch and an afternoon of snorkeling among the limestone arches.
Option 2: The Western Route (The Golden Arches) Head west toward the historic city of Lagos. Experience the breathtaking beauty of Ponta da Piedade, where the golden rock spires meet the deep blue Atlantic. Explore the crystal-clear waters of Praia do Camilo and the vast, tranquil bay of Alvor, a paradise for those who love quiet, open waters.
If you are looking for more than just a “shuttle to the caves,” the Oceanis 41.1 is your answer. Sailing is about the journey as much as the destination. On a 7-hour charter, the boat becomes your private home on the water. Whether you want to learn the basics of sailing from our skipper or simply lie back on the deck with a glass of chilled wine, this tour offers a level of relaxation that motorboats simply cannot match.
