Yacht rental in Portimão

Chartering a yacht in Portimão means delegating: the crew handles the boat, you handle the plan.

The fleet out of Portimão

Fast day boats and 15-25 metre flybridges dominate the day charter. Departure: the Portimão marina, at the estuary mouth, briefing aboard, then whichever heading the day calls for: the Benagil cave and Carvoeiro cliffs to the east, the fishing village of Ferragudo and Alvor to the west.

The lunch anchorage

The high point of the day — the skipper picks it that very morning, sea state depending, on the Arade estuary in the heart of the cliff-lined Algarve, between Ferragudo and Praia da Rocha.

How it works

Rather than juggling four tabs, run one search: the catalogues of Boataround, SamBoat, Click&Boat and GlobeSailor are queried in parallel and the boats in Portimão ranked at the price actually displayed. You then book directly with the operator, at no extra cost. To understand how the platforms differ, here is our comparison.
