The experience

You step aboard at Marina de Lagos onto a spacious catamaran, where the mood is relaxed, the music is good and the local crew is friendly. Stretch out on one of the front nets to sunbathe or simply relax while the boat gets under way.

Then the coast opens up. You cruise past golden cliffs, sea caves and hidden beaches, with the rock formations of Ponta da Piedade rising ahead. Snacks and drinks are served on board, so you can eat and drink while the cliffs slide past.

Eventually the boat slips into a sheltered bay with crystal-clear water. Jump in for a swim, or try snorkelling or paddleboarding. The equipment is already on board, so you can head straight into the water once you arrive.
