Full description

Embark on an adventure by catamaran. Discover the caves and outstanding beauty of the Benagil coastline, and take a swim as you go.

Departing from the Albufeira Marina, you’ll start by cruising westward along the coastline of the south of Portugal. Learn about the places and sights that you pass by from the skipper and crew – in particular, you’ll get a great view of the rock formations and caves of the areas of Benagil, Galé, and Carvoeiro. During the cruise the captain will choose a nice protected place to stop the boat so everyone who wants to can take a dive and swim in the ocean with the supervision of the crew. Take advantage of free wi-fi on board the vessel. On the way back, before you reach the Marina again, you will be served a cup of champagne while the background music is still playing, to toast the end of a relaxing cruise.

Wonderful experience, definitely recommend. My gf and I loved the views and noticed how wonderful the crew was. There were heavy winds and loads of waves, but the crew remained kind and helpful. They even offered extra care for sea sickness. Hopefully you’ll get to experience all of this with less wind and less rough waves!!

Great excursion, super nice crew, information about beaches, caves and sights was announced in three languages over the outside loudspeaker at the end of the trip everyone got a glass of sparkling wine on board you could buy drinks at very reasonable prices the price-performance ratio is great happy to thank you again

Great cruise. The catamaran is well looked after and the crew is friendly. It is a pity that there was no 'naval biologist' on board, as this is stated in the description. However, the crew is also willing to answer questions and are also very helpful. Keep in mind that with this (rather large) catamaran you stay some distance from the entrance of the benagil cave. If you want to see the Benagil cave from the inside, it is better to rent a kayak near Benagil or go with a speedboat.
