About Oceanis 55

At 16.8 m, the Bénéteau Oceanis 55 is the largest sailing yacht in our Algarve fleet and one of the few that can take a group of fourteen under sail. She has a long, wide cockpit with twin helms, a fold-down bathing platform at the stern that turns into a swimming deck at anchor, and a sleek deck layout that leaves plenty of room to sit forward and watch the bow cut through the water.

She is the yacht to choose if you want the quiet of sailing with a larger group – extended families, friends’ reunions or a team day out. Your skipper sets the route around the wind on the day. A typical 3 h 30 sail from Portimão Marina heads past Praia da Rocha and along the honey-coloured cliffs towards Carvoeiro, with a stop at anchor for swimming and paddleboarding, or west towards Alvor. The 2 h 30 sunset sail is the most atmospheric option, while a 7-hour full day lets you reach the sea caves near Benagil – viewed from outside, as the cave is protected – or sail west towards Ponta da Piedade when conditions allow.

The skipper, fuel, insurance, sparkling, white and rosé wine, beer, soft drinks, juices, water and snacks are included, along with towels, snorkels and a paddleboard. Prices are per yacht. After we confirm availability you pay a 20% deposit via a secure link. Compare her with other boats on our Portimão page.
