⭐ Rated 4.8/5 · based on 23,000+ verified traveller reviews
On a private boat the route is yours: linger at the cave, skip the crowded beach, stop to swim where you like. Prices here are per boat rather than per person, which is why a private charter often works out cheaper than it looks once you are four or more. Most operators run two to four hours along the Benagil coastline and take groups up to eight or twelve.

Check availability →The private listings share a destination, the Benagil coast, but they differ a lot in the boat you get. There are yachts with a roomy deck, a rib or a sailing boat, and the length runs from 75 minutes to as much as six hours on one yacht cruise. Most trips sit at around two to two and a half hours.
Group size is the next thing to check. Each boat has a cap, and the listings range from six to fifteen people. The price covers the whole boat, so a full boat is where private pays off: a two-hour rib for up to twelve starts at €306, while a 75-minute trip for up to eight starts at €203. One couples sailing trip is priced per person instead, from €120, with drinks and snacks on board.
For couples, that sailing format or the sunset charter (two hours, up to fourteen people, from €540) is the calmer choice. Families and friends who want to split the cost do better with the larger yachts and ribs. Anyone prone to seasickness will find the 75-minute trip easier to take than the longer cruises.
Departures are from Portimão Marina, Ferragudo or Alvor, depending on the listing. Drinks, snacks and swim stops vary from boat to boat, from a Port wine tasting to snorkelling and paddling.
Good to know: Compare the total boat price against the shared per-person price times your group size before assuming private is the expensive option. From roughly six people it frequently is not.
Good to know
Almost all private tours are priced per boat, with a maximum number of guests stated on each listing, between six and fifteen. Only the couples sailing trip is priced per person. Always read the unit next to the “from” price before you compare.
The listings run from 75 minutes to up to six hours. Two hours is enough to reach Benagil and Praia da Marinha at an easy pace. Choose two and a half hours or more if you want a swim stop, drinks on board or time to simply stay put.
It can be, if you want a quiet pace. The couples sailing trip from Ferragudo is priced per person and includes drinks and snacks, so two people pay for two. Boats priced per vessel start at €203 for 75 minutes, which only really pays off for larger groups.
