“We had an absolutely fabulous experience on this tour! The captain and crew were very friendly and accommodating. They provided information on the beautiful formations and caves along the coast. The BBQ on the beach was fun and the food was delicious. We would highly recommend this tour!”
Sail west from Albufeira with guides including Miguel and Brazil, view Benagil, Galé, and Carvoeiro from the water, then land on a secluded beach for a BBQ, swimming, drinks, and a champagne toast. Expect a small group and some time motoring rather than sailing.

“This was one of the best tours in Portugal! The ship was gorgeous, the staff were just amazing with delicious food and funny tricks. The caves were amazing and the beach was beautiful!”
