Top 15 Albufeira Catamaran & Yacht Cruises

16 reviewed

A wide deck, a swim stop in a hidden cove and the cliffs sliding past make one of the easiest good days Albufeira offers. These are the best catamaran and yacht cruises from the marina: family sailings with a BBQ on board, adults-only sunset trips with an open bar, private charters if you want the boat to yourselves. What is included, how many share the deck and the going rate are below.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 267 reviews · from $77

Catamaran BBQ cruise from Albufeira to the Benagil caves with beach lunch, champagne, Wi-Fi, and time to swim.

“The crew is excellent but the boat trip is not great! You spend too long to get to the place and an actual short period on the beach. The catamaran is packed with people and you have to endure a long trip with poor resources. Again, the crew is great for the poor resources in the catamaran.”

“This was a very nice boat and definitely a luxury experience. We had a hospitable crew and captain and really enjoyed seeing the gorgeous caves and coastline of the Algarve region. My only complaint is that an address that was online as a meet-up location (there must have been different ones listed) was incorrect and caused us to roam around in error for 45 mins looking for the proper location. Good thing we left early for this excursion of it would have eaten into our very expensive charter. All in all, a lovely morning on the water without the tourist crowds and that is what you are paying for.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 3 hours · from $942

Private 3-hour catamaran charter from Albufeira with Benagil Cave views, swim stops, snorkeling or paddle-boarding, and wine + cheese.

“This tour was amazing!! We had a group of 15 (mix of adults and children) and it was perfect. The boat was clean, the captain and guide were awesome, price was reasonable for a private catamaran (it was hard to find boats that accommodated more than 12 people) and it was just enough time- not too short or not too long- just enough time to enjoy the ride and swim in the ocean. We did the 10am tour and were back by 1 allowing us to enjoy the rest of the day. They were very communicative before the tour and accommodating. Highly recommended!! Thank you!!”
