Cool Charters Vilamoura

Cool Charters Vilamoura has been running private yacht charters from Marina de Vilamoura since 2016, licensed under RNAAT 674/2020. The company operates a single premium vessel, an Azimut 58 Flybridge, taking up to 12 guests with a captain and deckhand included on every trip, positioning itself as a smaller, boutique alternative to the larger multi-boat fleets based in the marina. Charters run as day trips, half-day mornings or afternoons, and sunset cruises with champagne and snacks, with the flagship route heading west along the Algarve coast to the Benagil Cave and other hidden beaches and rock formations. Guests can add water activities such as jet-skiing and pull boats, snorkelling and paddling, and the crew caters for proposals, birthdays, anniversaries and team-building days as well as more general day trips. For getting to the marina, Cool Charters partners with RPlusTransfer for private transfers in luxury vehicles. The team is led by Cool Charters manager Kevin Mester, originally from Belgium and living in Portugal since 1988, alongside a captain with more than ten years of experience at sea, deckhand Diogo, and a small support team handling social media and technical operations. The company asks guests to leave reviews on Google, Facebook and TripAdvisor and says every crew member and third-party supplier, such as chefs or photographers, is vetted by its management team before working on board.
