We travelled to see the... - We travelled to see the caves, we were told before the trip started that sea conditions were not ideal due to the winds…our two 14 yr olds left there sea legs on shore and needed the assistance of the crew who made sure the lads were looked after. The guys were a credit to the company.

Fun and comfortable cruise - 18/5 with Algarve Charters from Albufeira made a cruise along the coastline to the caves of Benagil. We had a daughter in wheelchair with us. This was notified in advance and went fine. From the booking office the captain walked with us to the boat (also helped us down slope at the jetty) We were the first to board and had a spot on the deck, where the wheelchair fit right into recess above the catamaran glider. On the way there, a guide broadcast several views in English and Portuguese. Great experience. Is very comfortable sailing with this catamaran (bar and toilet on board) With this boat you do not need to wear a life jacket.

Fantastic experience! - Beautiful scenery! Very helpful & kind crew. It was great to have drinks available for purchase & a complimentary glass of sparkling wine. Three hours was the perfect length of time for the trip to the Benagil cave. We chose this catamaran as it had a bathroom and comfortable seating. We would highly recommend this trip to all ages!

Gawwwwgeous! - This excursion was excellent! Our crew really made our group of 8 feel at home. Relaxing few hours of enjoying the sea breeze, the beautiful views of Benagil Beach and the Caves, we’d totally do this again. Fair price for the adventure! Definitely plan to spend a little time around the Marina. Great place to take very aesthetic photos. Gawgeous!

The seas were very rough.... - The seas were very rough. There were 6 members in my party and only 1 person was sick. The staff was Amazing and extremely helpful with our sick friend. It would be a better trip if the seas were calm.

A bit boring nice crew. - It was good on the first half. The way back was uneventful with no commentary and quite a bit away from the shore. The champagne was cheap sparkling wine and a very small pour. No swim and no explanation as to why.
