Top Portimao Sailing Tours

The Algarve coast is wonderfully scenic, but most travelers end up only seeing it from land. Admire it from the sea for much of the day—without a costly private boat charter—and enjoy a beach BBQ and visit to Benagil’s caves on this cruise from Portimao. Board a luxury Ophelia cataraman, gaze over cliffs and villages as you sail to Benagil, explore the caves by small boat and relax with a BBQ lunch and open bar before cruising back.

Portugal’s Benagil Caves are a popular destination for travelers, but they’re only accessible by boat. Take the stress out of renting your own boat and navigating unfamiliar water with this Benagil Caves Cruise from Portimao. This cruise near the Algarve coast gives you great views of the area and opportunities to catch sight of dolphins in their natural habitat before stopping for a swim and time to explore the caves.

This trip of around two hours and thirty minutes, departing from the Marina of Portimão, offers two magnificent experiences: the observation of cetaceans (dolphins and whales) and the observation of our Algarve coast with a visit to the famous Benagil Cave.
