At Immo Lusitania, we’re always on the lookout for the best local experiences in Portugal to recommend to our clients. And when the opportunity came to spend a day at sea with the exceptional team at Cool Charters Vilamoura, we simply couldn’t resist. As a local who has called the Algarve home for most of my life, I’ve seen the coastline from many angles—but never quite like this.
🌊 Setting Sail from Vilamoura Marina
Our adventure started at the iconic Marina de Vilamoura, one of the Algarve’s most prestigious marinas. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism by Kevin and his crew. The yacht for the day? The Azimut 58 Flybridge, affectionately named Kerry. With its sleek design and luxurious fittings, stepping aboard felt like stepping into a dream.
As we sailed out, champagne was poured, the sun kissed the waters, and the rhythmic hum of the engine set the tone for a perfect day. Our 5-year-old daughter settled comfortably onto the sun deck cushions—so relaxed she drifted off to sleep as the boat glided along the coast.
🏖️ Hidden Coves and Coastal Caves
Our first stop was a secluded cove, ideal for snorkeling and paddleboarding. With crystal-clear waters and gear provided by the crew, we explored the vibrant marine life safely and comfortably. Their attention to safety and our daughter’s needs was genuinely outstanding.
Refueled with local snacks like pastéis de nata, Algarve cheeses, and seasonal fruit, we continued along the coast, discovering the famous Benagil Caves and other hidden grottoes. The rock formations and turquoise waters were unlike anything else in Europe—a natural wonder not to be missed.
🍽️ Lunch with a View
For lunch, the crew anchored in a tranquil bay and laid out a spread of Portuguese delicacies paired with regional wines. The culinary experience matched the luxury of our surroundings. They even prepared a special light meal for our little one—personalized service that went above and beyond.
☀️ Relaxation and Luxury at Sea
The flybridge deck became our sanctuary for the afternoon. With ample space, plush loungers, and sweeping views of the coastline, we felt a world away. Occasionally, we dipped into the sea to cool off or scanned the waters for dolphins—a magical bonus if you’re lucky enough to spot them.
🚤 High-Speed Thrills & Golden Hour
Later in the afternoon, it was time to crank up the speed. Cruising along the Algarve coastline at full throttle was a thrill that even seasoned locals can’t get enough of. The sense of freedom was unforgettable.
As the sun began to set, we slowed to a gentle cruise and raised our glasses once more. The sunset over the Algarve is nothing short of spectacular—pinks, oranges, and purples dancing across the sea. It felt like the day had come full circle in the most poetic way.
