Catamaran charter in Portimão

Two hulls, no heel: in Portimão, the catamaran takes aboard everyone who would rather not sail at an angle.

Waters cut out for two hulls

The Arade estuary in the heart of the cliff-lined Algarve, between Ferragudo and Praia da Rocha. On this ground the catamaran strings the stops together — the Benagil cave and Carvoeiro cliffs to the east, the fishing village of Ferragudo and Alvor to the west — without wearing the crew out.

Booking ahead

Catamarans go first: demand peaks from May to October, Benagil demanding an early start to beat the boat train, and the best units book months out.
