The catamaran slips from Albufeira’s marina as the Atlantic light thins, the breeze urging the hull along cliffs carved into arches and caves. On a private 2.5-hour sunset cruise you’ll drift past São Rafael toward Senhora da Rocha, watching golden cliffs sharpen into silhouettes while seabirds wheel overhead.
