Building the route out of Vilamoura

Leave the harbour — the Vilamoura marina, one of Portugal’s largest and oldest — then string the anchorages together: the Benagil caves to the west, the Falésia cliffs and the Ria Formosa lagoons towards Faro. The local rule: run the exposed leg in the morning, come home in shelter.

Reading the water

Moderate south-westerly breezes inshore, the nortada arriving weakened on this side of the cape. A RIB shrugs off the chop better than its crew does: adjust speed and trim.

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 Vilamoura 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.
