Boat trips
Full description
From sea caves to sizzling grills—enjoy the Algarve’s coast and a beach barbecue in one perfect trip.
Start your adventure with a smooth check-in at Albufeira Marina before boarding MARA, a comfortable and spacious catamaran designed for relaxation. As you depart, the crew will deliver a safety briefing and then it’s time to unwind as you sail past the dramatic cliffs and hidden coves of the Algarve coast.
Enjoy commentary from your experienced captain and crew, as you pass scenic highlights and approach the Benagil and Carvoeiro area - home to the region’s most famous sea caves. We’ll get as close as safety allows, offering exceptional views of the Benagil Cave, its iconic dome, and the stunning contrast of sea and stone.
After exploring the coast, we’ll anchor near a secluded beach where you'll disembark to enjoy a laid-back beach barbecue prepared by our crew. Relax under umbrellas and savor grilled meat, fish and sausages with classic Algarvian sides, followed by seasonal fruit and drinks including wine, beer, juice and water.
Back aboard MARA, we begin our return to Albufeira Marina, wrapping up with a celebratory glass of Champagne as you take in the final coastal views. This is an unforgettable blend of adventure, local flavors and leisure—perfect for those seeking a full day on the Algarve’s iconic waters.
