A full day luxury yacht charter cruising from Vilamoura along the Algarve coastline in the south of Portugal.

Why is the Algarve is the best place for full day charters in Europe?

Simply put the coastline is amazing and boasts such diversity in such a short geographical stretch, this combined with over 300 days of sunshine per year and we have a paradise that is still raw and ready for you to discover. 

A Full day boat trip is ideal to explore and sample a bit of everything and is a favourite choice for people visiting the Algarve. Choose from a selection of yachts below to tailor this experience to your group size, budget and tastes.

The full day cruise offers plenty of time to truly immerse yourself in the wonders of the Algarve Coastline and lifestyle as we take lunch at a selection of wonderful beachfront restaurants.

Typically the full day (7 Hour)  cruise will depart from Vilamoura Marina at around 10.00 or 13.00.   The later option will offer the same experience but with a chance to see the stunning sunset at the end of the cruise. (The departure times vary at different times of the year).

From Vilamoura Marina we have a choice to go west or east and as this is a private charter then its entirely up to you. In our experience we would select West.... here´s why: 

The coastline to the west of Vilamoura is much more dramatic and is the location of the cliffs and sea caves that typify the postcard images of the Algarve´s stunning coastline.

We have the Xorino Caves and of course we have the famous Benagil Cave which people travel from across the globe just to see. 

On a full day cruise we have some flexibility to plan the exact route and schedule based on the days sea conditions and weather. We will always try to get as close to the caves as possible and even inside a few of them if the sea conditions allow. We will also try to stop for time to swim, snorkel, use the SUP (Stand Up Paddle) or the inflatable RIB depending again on sea conditions.

Having worked up an appetite we will then stop at one of our favourite beach front restaurants for lunch and a chance to enjoy some amazing seafood and other local and super fresh specialties. Next we will have some time to just simply cruise and savour the natural sights and sounds with a selection of beverages to suit your mood.

The Full Day Private Yacht Charter option can also head East as mentioned and the principal differences are as follows: 

The coastline is much more calm and typified by long sandy beaches. As the beaches are accessible to the public we are not permitted to go within 300metres, We will cruise for approximately 1.5hours at which point we can enter the islands of the Ria Formosa. These are the islands that you likely see when arriving into Faro airport by airplane. The waters inside are calm and quite sheltered which can be an advantage on a day with higher wind or waves. We can also fine some private beaches here for you to have a break and relax.  One highlight is Ilha Deserta and a restaurant called Estaminé. It is simply a desert island with only one construction which is an amazing seafood restaurant. The meal alone here compliments the trip perfectly. 

Cruising east is a more serene and relaxing experience whilst to go west offers more dramatic coastline and more breathtaking scenery. It also offers more potential activities.

On all cruise options we will have two experienced and full qualified crew to guide you and help you make the best of your day.
