Brunch and Benagil Caves Catamaran Tour from Vilamoura

Sail the Algarve coastline, explore an iconic cave, and enjoy a regional brunch at sea


The Benagil Cave catamaran tour from Vilamoura brings together the dramatic rock formations of the Algarve coast, a visit to one of the world's most photographed sea caves, and an authentic brunch served on board while anchored near a sheltered cove.

Departing from Vilamoura Marina, the catamaran Belize follows the shoreline past Falésia Beach and a series of hidden sea arches before reaching the Benagil Cave. The natural skylight carved into the cave's ceiling creates a remarkable play of light inside the chamber, making it a genuinely memorable stop on any Algarve itinerary.

After the cave visit, the boat anchors near a calm beach where guests can swim or simply rest on deck. A two-course regional brunch is then served, drawing on Algarve and Alentejo produce, with an open bar included throughout the experience.

The pace is unhurried, and the format suits families, couples and groups of friends equally well. Children up to two years of age board free of charge, and the crew remains on hand during the swimming stop to ensure safety at all times.
