The hull cuts a low golden line across the Atlantic as the sun leans toward the horizon, and Albufeira’s cliffs sharpen into relief. On a private sunset yacht charter the coast contracts into a sequence of caves, arches and honeycomb cliffs — Benagil’s famous sea mouth among them — while the skipper trims sails and the crew lays out cheeses, fruit and a glass of vinho.
