Yachting Lifestyle is a Lagos- and Faro-based charter company offering private yachting and catamaran experiences along the Algarve coast. The company operates a fleet that includes the Lagoon 440 catamaran, the Capelli Tempest 850 RIB, and the Sunseeker Portofino 47, delivering private half-day and full-day trips tailored for families, couples, and small groups.
Trips include water sports sessions with wakeboarding, water skiing, and inflatable fun; cave and grotto explorations aboard catamaran; luxury yacht escapes with sunbathing and gourmet snacks; dolphin-watching excursions; and bespoke celebrations such as birthdays or corporate events. Many experiences feature swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking, with guided visits to landmarks like Ponta da Piedade and the Benagil sea cave.
Private skippers and dedicated crews manage navigation, safety briefings, and local route selection to access secluded coves and popular sights. Booking options accommodate intimate groups and larger gatherings — catamaran cruises welcome up to 16 guests while smaller powerboats host close-knit parties. Safety equipment, life jackets, and standard insurance coverage are provided as part of each charter.
