The boat slips free of the marina as golden light leans across the Algarve; salt air pushes at your jacket and the yacht’s wake draws a silver trail behind you. Guests settle on cushioned benches while the coastline of Falesia and Olhos de Água slides past—chalky cliffs darkening into sharp silhouettes as the sun descends.
