Your experience begins at Marina de Portimão, where you'll step aboard a classic sailing yacht and be welcomed by your skipper before setting sail along one of the Algarve's most beautiful stretches of coastline. Leaving the marina behind, you'll cruise towards João d'Arens, an area renowned for its dramatic golden cliffs, secluded coves and crystal-clear waters.

Throughout the experience, sparkling wine is served, adding an extra touch of celebration to the evening.
As the sun begins to lower towards the horizon, the coastline takes on warm shades of gold, orange and pink. Whenever weather and sea conditions permit, the return journey is completed under sail, creating a quiet and authentic sailing experience powered only by the wind. The gentle movement of the yacht, the sound of the sea and the changing colours of the sky combine to create a memorable end to your time on the water before returning to Portimão.

Safety always comes first, so swimming opportunities are dependent on conditions on the day. The skipper will assess the sea state and choose the safest and most enjoyable location for any swimming stop.
It is recommended that you bring a towel if you intend to swim, along with suitable swimwear underneath your clothing. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat are also useful, particularly during the warmer months when the Algarve enjoys long sunny evenings.
Even during summer, temperatures can feel cooler once the sun begins to set and the yacht is moving. Bringing a light jacket or jumper is often a good idea, especially during spring and autumn departures.
The safety of guests is always the highest priority. If weather or sea conditions are considered unsuitable for sailing, the trip may need to be rescheduled or cancelled. This decision is made by the skipper based on local forecasts and conditions at sea.
