About the experience

Take advantage of the best daylight to discover the secrets of the Algarve coast. Departing from Vilamoura Marina between 10:00 and 14:00, this 4-hour tour aboard our RHIB "Skipper Portugal" (Clubman 21) offers the perfect balance between adrenaline and relaxation.

What to expect from your morning at sea:

Visit to the Benagil Caves: Sail to the iconic "Algar de Benagil", one of the world's most famous natural wonders, accessible only by sea.

Agile and Safe Navigation: Thanks to the design of our semi-rigid boat (RHIB), we can safely enter caves and narrow passages where larger boats cannot reach, providing a close and unique view of the rock formations.

Premium Comfort: The Clubman 21 has a spacious sun deck at the bow for sunbathing and a relaxation area at the stern, ideal for groups of friends or families (up to 12 people).

Exploring the Coast: Beyond Benagil, we will pass by deserted beaches and dramatic cliffs typical of the Algarve, with the possibility of stopping for a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters.

    It was an amazing experience! Our group of 10 people enjoyed the boat cruise so much. Andre took us to the most wonderful caves, then to lunch in very nice restaurant. Everything was discussed with us first, so the plan was flexible. We rent waterskis and waterboard too and that was the best part of trip. Highly recommended!

    Manuel and our skipper Andre were fantastic! They were so helpful, going out of their way to pick us up from a different pontoon - note for future visits, turn right on entry to the port and follow it all the way round! We had the best time on the boat, Andre was so lovely and took us to some amazing spots. We dropped anchor in a couple of bays and went for a swim. The ultimate girls day, we loved it! Thank you both!

    Our day with Andre and Ines was absolutely magical! Manuel (the owner) made booking effortless, and the boat was comfortable and perfectly equipped on time. Andre's knowledge of the Algarve coast is incredible - he shared fascinating insights about every beach, town, and geological formation we passed. The highlights? Andre navigated us into breathtaking caves and grottos, took us to completely secluded beaches where we had paradise completely to ourselves, showed us amazing snorkeling spots, and treated us to exhilarating tubing. Most impressive was Andre's talent for finding dolphins - we had these magnificent creatures swimming right alongside our boat we could almost touch them - an unforgettable experience! Don't even think about it - just book it. This isn't just a boat trip; it's the ultimate Algarve adventure. You absolutely won't regret it!

    Manuel was a pleasure to deal with and his RIB was great. We had a fabulous outing to Ria Formosa and although there was a bit of wind the boat handled really well. I hired without a skipper and was in touch with Manuel in the days before the hire to discuss the weather which at one stage was looking quite bad. Manuel had lot of practical advice and was very helpful and thorough. Will definitely hire again when we come back to the area.

    Amazing experience, we added a skipper to our trip , and what an experience. Andre the skipper was extremely knowledgeable of the coast . Andre offered an outstanding experience. We were able to see everything we wanted to see and more . Even let me drive the boat and teach me docking maneuvers. Mr. Manuel the owner was very friendly and great personality. Five stars is the most I can give but it was more like 10 stars . Thank you very much Mr. Manuel and thank you Andre .

    The Owner had great communication with us and provided a great introduction to the boat with the easy to use GPS helping with easy navigation towards the Benagil Caves. The boat itself is easy to drive and with a group of nine adults (including skipper) had enough space for all to be comfortable.

    We had a great day today with the brand new Joker Clubman 21. With 5 adults and 7 children, the 115 hp Mercury outboard engine had the RIB planing in no time. Manuel is a really fantastic landlord. He received us very professionally and ensured that we could become familiar with the maneuvering of the RIB in the port and beyond. He gave me a lot of confidence as a skipper. We visited the caves and even saw dolphins jumping. All in all a perfect day out for our group! Thank you Manuel
