Private Catamaran Tour to Benagil Cave and Marinha Beach
An exclusive voyage along the golden cliffs of the Algarve, tailored entirely to your group.
This private catamaran tour departing from Portimão takes your group on a curated three-hour journey along one of Europe's most celebrated coastlines, visiting the iconic Benagil Cave and the pristine shores of Praia da Marinha. With a 13-metre catamaran reserved exclusively for your party of up to 28 guests, every detail of the experience is shaped around your occasion.
The Algarve's dramatic limestone formations, hidden sea caves, and translucent waters are best appreciated from the water, where you gain perspectives impossible to reach on foot. A dedicated captain and assistant manage all navigation and safety logistics, leaving you free to focus entirely on the scenery and the company around you.
Whether you are marking a milestone birthday, gathering family from afar, or simply seeking a memorable afternoon with friends, the flexible itinerary and on-board amenities make this one of the most adaptable private experiences available from Portimão. Kayaks are available on board for guests who wish to paddle directly into sea caves or explore tucked-away coves at close range.
