Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll sail along Portugal's most beautiful coastline at golden hour
  • There's plenty of tasty tapas and icy drinks to keep you fuelled on board
  • You can take a dip in the ocean by João d' Arens beach and its rock formations
What to expect

If you're looking for the perfect spot to truly appreciate the beauty of the Algarve, then this is it. From aboard a classic boat, you'll be taking in the sweeping bays and peninsulas of the Algarve's artfully carved coastline.

From Marina de Portimão, you'll be cruising onboard the Gageiro, one of the last traditional sailing ships from 1947. It's a comfy place to be soaking up every inch of the Algarve's coastline as you head towards the beach at João d' Arens, where the rocks wrap themselves around the shore to make a protected bay. There's plenty of time here to take a dip in the refreshing waters and splash about. . Once you've dried off, you can tuck into some tasty tapas onboard, quench your thirst and have a glass of local wine.

Then, with dusk approaching, the real adventure begins, as the engine is turned off and the sails are raised. Feel the power of the wind as you set sail with a coastal sunset view to rival the best in Europe.

    The experience was amazing and perfect for my sister’s birthday. They all really took care of my 7 year nephew and made sure he was ok the whole time from pick up to drop off. The tapas was great alongside the chance to swim while exploring the sea, everyone on board made the experience amazing, funny and safe.

    Getränke und Essen liebevoll zubereitet und serviert. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Sehr angenehme und sprachlich versierte Skipper. Gemütlich, erholsam und am Ende ein sehenswerter Sonnenuntergang. Die Fahrt hin und zurück war nicht gut. Der Fahrer hat gleich gemotzt, weil wir angeblich 10 Minuten zu spät waren, obwohl wir 5 Minuten vor der Abholzeit (von TUI) da waren. Die Fahrt war mit 40 Min. angegeben und hat 80 Min. gedauert, obwohl der Fahrer geheizt. Wir fühlten uns nicht sicher im Auto.
