These waters from a catamaran
The cruising grounds — the central Algarve coast, a festival of sculpted cliffs, arches and sea caves — suit a catamaran's shallow draught: anchoring right off the beaches, bound for the nearby Benagil cave and Praia da Marinha, and the parade of coves towards Galé and Armação de Pêra.
The catamaran season in Albufeira
The catamaran season runs from May to October, caves best visited early to beat the boat parade; the day's anchorage, meanwhile, is picked off the morning forecast.
