⭐ Rated 4.8/5 · based on 23,000+ verified traveller reviews
A catamaran sits on two hulls instead of one, so it barely rolls – the reason it is the go-to boat for anyone who gets seasick, and for families with small children. You trade speed for space: sun decks, shade, a toilet on board and usually food and drinks included. Catamarans cannot slip into the narrow caves, so most trips pair the coastline with a swimming stop.

Check availability →Not every catamaran trip is the same trip. The eight on this page range from a one-hour sunset sail on an electric catamaran to a four-hour cruise on a two-deck boat with lunch and an open bar, and the price follows the length: from €18 at the short end, from €46 for the long day out.
Choose by what you want from the day. Families and groups who like to spread out suit the big two-deck boat, which adds water activities to the cruise. The eco catamarans run on electric or electro-solar power, and the sunset departures show the cliffs in golden light. Three of the eight trips are sunset departures: the one-hour electric cruise, a 2 h 30 min catamaran cruise and the three-hour eco catamaran. If you want to see the caves from the water, the kayak tour uses a catamaran to bring you to the paddling area.
Before you pay, check the listing for the duration, whether lunch or only a bar is included, whether there is a swim stop and how many people the boat takes.
If you want the whole boat to yourselves, the luxury catamaran is priced per group of up to six instead of per person and runs three to six hours. Every other trip here is a shared boat.
Good to know: If getting inside the caves matters more to you than comfort, book a small boat or kayak instead. Catamarans stay outside and view the cliffs from the water.
Good to know
The electric sunset cruise takes one hour and starts from €18, with views of Praia da Rocha, Ferragudo and Portimão. Most other trips last two and a half to three hours, and the lunch cruise on the two-deck catamaran takes four. Check the duration on each listing before you pick a time.
It depends on the tour. The four-hour cruise lists lunch and an open bar, while the sunset trips mention a bar on board, which may mean drinks are bought separately. Read the inclusions on the booking page, and ask the operator if it is unclear, before you decide whether to bring snacks of your own.
It is priced per group of up to six, from €910, for three to six hours, and the boat is not shared with other guests. Even with six aboard, the share per head is higher than on any shared trip here, where prices start at €18 per person. You are paying for exclusivity, not for savings.
