Spend quality time on the water aboard a private yacht designed for relaxed cruising, swimming stops, and unhurried coastal exploration. Each trip offers a professional crew, drinks, and water toys to enhance the experience. Whether you want a full day, a half day, or a sunset outing, the tour can be tailored to suit your pace and interests, with total privacy for your group.
The day begins with a welcome briefing and safety instructions, after which the yacht sets off to explore the coast at your chosen pace. The full-day tour allows you to cruise longer distances, stopping at hidden coves and beaches for swimming or snorkelling. Relax on spacious sun decks, enjoy drinks from the bar, or take advantage of the SUBLUE underwater scooter for an exciting underwater adventure. Your crew will provide guidance on the best spots to visit, ensuring the itinerary is personalised to your group.
Half-day trips condense the highlights, focusing on key points of interest such as Benagil Cave, Praia da Marinha, or Ponta da Piedade. Even with a shorter duration, there is ample opportunity to swim, paddleboard, or simply relax and take in the views. Sunset tours shift the experience toward atmosphere, letting you enjoy the changing colours of the sky while the yacht glides along calm waters. These trips are ideal for photography, celebrations, or a romantic end-of-day cruise.
All trips maintain flexibility to accommodate the needs and interests of your group. The crew ensures safety and comfort throughout, including careful monitoring during swim stops, guidance on using onboard equipment, and attentive service for drinks and lunch arrangements.
Departures are from Portimão Marina in Portimão, a convenient and central location along the Algarve coast. From here, the yacht can navigate east toward the world-famous Benagil Cave and the nearby Praia da Marinha, or west to explore Alvor, Meia Praia, Ponta da Piedade, and Praia da Luz.
Routes are adapted to daily conditions, including wind, sea state, and tides. Local knowledge ensures that stops are made in sheltered areas that are ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and paddleboarding, while avoiding crowded tourist spots whenever possible. The flexibility allows guests to enjoy both popular landmarks and more secluded areas along the coastline.
No boating experience is needed, as the yacht is fully crewed. Children are welcome and provided with life jackets. Guests should be comfortable moving on board and following basic safety guidance during swimming or water activity stops.
All participants should be able to spend time in the sun and on the water. It is recommended to wear swimwear and bring sun protection, sunglasses, and a hat, as well as any personal items you may need for a day trip.
Trips focus on personalisation, flexibility, and comfort. Unlike standard tours, you have the freedom to choose the pace, stops, and activities throughout your journey. The crew uses local knowledge to ensure the best routes, swimming spots, and viewpoints, enhancing your time at sea.
Attention is given to every detail, from ambient music and drinks to the layout of sunbathing and seating areas. The atmosphere is relaxed yet attentive, allowing groups to enjoy their time together without feeling rushed. The combination of professional service, high-quality equipment, and flexibility creates a memorable day tailored entirely to your group.

Half-day trips condense the experience to key highlights, focusing on iconic spots without spending a full day at sea. Sunset tours prioritise atmosphere and light, offering shorter distances but perfect opportunities for photos, romantic moments, and a relaxed end-of-day experience.
