Benagil Cave Charter

Elite Yacht Charters Algarve runs private, crewed trips from Marina de Vilamoura out to the Benagil sea caves, one of the most photographed stretches of coastline in the Algarve. Guests charter the whole yacht rather than joining a shared tour boat, choosing from a fleet of eight vessels that ranges from the 47ft Azimut Atlantis and Fairline Targa up to the 80ft Azimut Albatroz, plus a 47ft catamaran, with capacities from around 8 up to 19 guests depending on the boat.

Every yacht carries SUP boards and snorkelling gear as standard, so guests can get in the water once the boat reaches the caves rather than only viewing them from the deck. The crew handles navigation and timing around tides and swell, since the caves are best seen and entered in calm conditions.

Prices are set per yacht rather than per person and start from EUR 900 for the smallest boat in the fleet, the Azimut Atlantis, rising to EUR 3,500 for the 72ft Sunseeker Predator; the final price depends on which yacht is chosen and how long the charter runs. Bookings go through the company's own online booking portal, or directly by WhatsApp or phone.
