We had Captain Nuno and crew Laura, both were fantastic. The ride to the Benagil Caves took about a hour, was beautiful and both took the time to narrate what were seeing. Once at the cave entrance we boarded a small dingy to enter the Benagil Cave, simply beautiful. On the return they offered wine, cookies and chocolate. Great value to the money and would highly recommend this tour

Benagail Coastline tour was a highlight of our trip. A definite tour not to be missed. The seas were rough and our tasting catamaran tour was changed but we were very happy with the change and ecstatic that we were able to go in the cave. It was beautiful. The crew was great and the scenery was breathtaking.

      Small group luxury

      Incredible catamaran experience! I booked this over the lower cost boat cruises with the hope it would be more private and it delivered! My husband said it felt like we were the only ones on the boat. The boat was gorgeous and the crew was friendly and knowledgeable.

      Definitely a chill and relaxing cruise to the Benegil caves. Our pilot was very informative and friendly as was his co pilot. Would definitely recommend this

      November Bliss

      gillian_m, Nov 2025
      Myself and my daughter had a beautiful cruise eon this gorgeous Catamaran. November, sun is shining, breeze in the air (blankets provided), fresh fruit platter and bottled water on arrival and the most gorgeous scenery along the coastline. Captain Rocky (I think) very chill guy and very informative. We jumped onto the speedboat to approach the caves and what a great experience this was. The journey back sitting at the front of the Catamaran, blanket around us and served 3 lovely glasses of wine whilst taking in breath taking surroundings as the sunset. November bliss, calm, chill experience and just the right amount of people on board, especially when we seen other vessels full to the brim. Pay the little extra, it is so worth it !! Ps nicest Catamaran I have bene on, and there have been a few. Cabin toilets nicer than apartment !! :)

      Great time to unwind

      Amazing boat! Great hosts!

      So much better than expected! The Boat was beautiful! The hosts were so kind and had great snacks and wine!

      A lovely way to experience the Caves in Algarve

      Grahamme_M, Sep 2025
      Great day out on the water and a terrific way to see The Algarve area from the water with only another 16 guests (so not so crowded). Rocky (captain) and his 1st hand were great. Rocky had the best sense of humour and was really a lot of fun. The caves and other water experiences were really amazing. We loved the whole day. There was some fruit and wine provided. The only suggestion I would have to improve the experience would be for them to have served some cheese and crackers with the wine. i would not have minded if I had to pay for them, because I don't like just drinking wine during the day without a little snack. Otherwise a fabulous day.

      The boat was Beautiful neat and clean! The Captain Roku was entertaining and very informative. Explaining all the different rock formations and caves ! Excellent day on the water!

      Must do! Small group & great boat

      Moira_C, Aug 2025
      Wonderful boat ride - plenty of space and areas to get sun. Took a dinghy into the benagil caves. Would highly recommend

      10/10 experience!

      Maria_T, Aug 2025
      It was so comfortable since they only allow a maximum of 20 people on the boat. Everyone had a seat, and we sailed past all the other tourist boats that are so full of people that they are like herring in a barrel. The crew was amazing, the boat was nice and clean, the wine was very good - overall we had a great experience on this trip and I would highly recommend it!

      The very BEST !!

      Nathalie_M, Jul 2025
      We had an incredible experience visiting the Benagil caves! The beautiful yacht we went on was fantastic, with plenty of space for the 20 guests allowed—much more comfortable than other tours with larger crowds. Rita, our guide, did a fantastic job highlighting all the fascinating sights along the coast. Captain Rocky was skilled at navigating the boat (no one got seasick! 😁) and expertly maneuvered the dinghy to explore the caves. My 9-year-old absolutely loved the dinghy ride! The crew was exceptional, providing fresh fruit and wine for everyone on board. From start to finish, everything was perfect. I highly recommend this tour! 👍👍👍

      Amazing Experience

      Deborah_T, May 2025
      Such an amazing experience! I highly recommend this trip. The catamaran was beautiful, clean and comfortable. I loved when the captain anchored the boat and took us by dinghy inside the cave.

      Glamorous boat trip

      Donna_F, May 2025
      One of the best boat trips I’ve had . The catamaran was brand new , it was extremely clean and classy . The views were amazing and crew were very attentive
