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.

Boat was immaculate; weather was perfect; Rocky and Camila were generous and fun hosts! SO much fun to swim in the beautiful water, take the small boat into the Benagil cave, and cruise the gorgeous Tagus River with delicious wine & snacks. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
First class luxury. The crew worked non-stop to make sure we were happy. There was a lot of champagne and wine and beer and hors d'oeuvres.
Great boat ride along the coast. The catamaran was spacious. Rocco and Amanda were wonderful. They were helpful, informative and friendly.
Amazing! It was so worth it. My husband and I often get a private boat but decided to do a some group ride with strangers and it was great! We laughed the whole ride with them. The captain and the hostess were kind and informative. It was worth more than what we paid. Thanks again!
Sailing out on the water was an absolute highlight of our trip! The catamaran was spacious, spotless, and offered plenty of room to stretch out and take in the panoramic views.
What truly made the day unforgettable was the incredible service from Kamila and Rocky. They were incredibly warm, helpful, and attentive the entire time. A standout moment was transferring to a smaller boat to head right into the caves—exploring them up close was such a fun, thrilling experience! To top it all off, the wine served on board was surprisingly excellent and perfectly chilled.
If you are looking for a smooth, top-tier tour with an exceptional crew, do not pass this up!
Such a wonderful experience! It was the highlight of our vacation! The boat was beautiful, and the crew couldn’t have been nicer.
Great from start to finish! Small group with a spectacular Captain and tour guide! Took us directly into Benagil cave in a small dingy from catamaran! Unwind is the choice!!!
Great experience. Very nice boat they took us to the cave and we got off the big boat onto a small boat to go in and explore the cave. Boat driver and hostess were both fantastic
Last day in the Algarve and we wanted to just relax and enjoy the nature. Just what the doctor ordered. Smooth sailing and we actually saw some dolphins. Great captain and crew. Highly recommend. Went with another couple and they equally enjoyed it.
Incredible experience, wonderful crew, beautiful boat! Don’t hesitate to book this, you will love it!
Wonderful trip . Gorgeous catamaran and great crew - Alfonso and Marta - who could not do enough for us. There were 17 of us and it felt really relaxing and not crowded. We met really nice people and all of us loved the trip - highlight of our holiday. Husband enjoyed the wine tasting!
Must do!
This boat was luxurious and spacious. The captain and first mate were informative and friendly. We had light snacks and wine while onboard. The Captin even but the little boat in the water and took us 4 at a time inside the Bengali cave! This is a must do while in the Algarve
Really nice experience. The crew was amazing, polite, friendly attentative! I would highly recommend this! Especially if the weather is good. !!!!
Comfortable and beautiful journey well suited for kids. Polite attendants. Clean yacht. Choice of the menu was smaller than declared.
Beautiful boat with very friendly staff. It was very cold the day we sailed so I would recommend more for summer months. Scenery was spectacular and small group (20) was very private. Highly recommend for warmer day!
The boat is more beautiful and stylish in real life.
We got in the boat and everything was beautiful.
We started well, with a small proseco, the team at board was very nice, especially the captain.
Unfortunely, the food was very, very poor, we glad we had lunch before.
The fruit kebab, smelled and tasted slightely off, no drinks at all until the end of the trip, we was promised drinks throughout the 3 hours trip, it was a bit cold, so the captain kindly said that blankets were going to be brought to us, but never arrived, it was one of the passangers that went to the deck below and brought blankets for all of us.
Then about half hour before the trip finished, we was given one glass of three diferent wines, that we was almost forced to downed to be able to try all the promised wines that we was meant to have throught out the trip.
If wasnt for the food and drinks, I would given a 5 star.
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
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 !! :)
It was a wonderful time the captain, (ROCKY) and crew (Gustav) were very nice and helpful. We went with the whisky and cookies it was a good choice

Brilliant trip, guide Laura was very helpful and knowledgeable and jorge our captain was also great. Highly recommend, boat fantastic.
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
So much better than expected! The Boat was beautiful! The hosts were so kind and had great snacks and wine!
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.
Beautiful boat
Professional crew
Gorgeous views of the coastline and caves
Small groups
Wine tasting
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!
Wonderful boat ride - plenty of space and areas to get sun. Took a dinghy into the benagil caves. Would highly recommend
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!
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! 👍👍👍
