Catamaran Beach BBQ Cruise with Algarve Charters in Albufeira

Albufeira, positioned along Portugal’s southern Algarve coast, offers a distinct combination of dramatic cliffs, sea caves, and golden beaches, making it a prime spot for coastal adventures. Algarve Charters Lda. stands out in this landscape by delivering a unique six-hour catamaran journey that captures the rugged beauty of the region’s shoreline. This isn’t just a boat trip — it’s an immersive day on the water, punctuated with natural wonders and genuine local flavor.

Board the catamaran MARA and head westward from Albufeira toward the iconic Benagil cave, famed for its expansive, naturally lit interior carved into limestone cliffs. Along the way, the coastline reveals jagged rock formations and small sea grottos unique to the region, shaped by millennia of ocean and wind erosion. The geological diversity here includes tufa stone and other sedimentary formations that create sculptural shapes against the turquoise Atlantic.

Halfway through the cruise, the vessel anchors near a pristine beach framed by cliffs. Here, guests are treated to an open-air BBQ lunch featuring local ingredients grilled fresh on the spot. After the meal, beach activities ranging from swimming to light games invite you to stretch your legs and enjoy the warm Algarve sun. The catamaran’s spacious deck also offers comfortable lounging spots for those who prefer to absorb the coastal panorama and sea breeze.
