Yacht charter prices in the Algarve
What a private yacht charter really costs
Here are our yacht charter prices in the Algarve, in full. Many websites show a single “from” figure and ask you to enquire for the rest; we would rather you could plan with real numbers. Below you will find the set prices for every yacht in our fleet, port by port, so you can compare like with like before you get in touch.
Every price is for the whole yacht, not per person, and includes VAT, skipper and crew, fuel for the agreed route, drinks and snacks. There are no harbour fees or fuel supplements added on the day. A two-hour sunset on one of our Vilamoura yachts starts at €700, a half day of three hours on our flagship NOON is €1,300, and a full day on the 60-foot Sunseeker Predator Serenity in Albufeira starts at €3,950 for eight hours.
Divide the price by your group and a private yacht is often closer to a good dinner out than people expect. Ten friends on São Lourenço for a three-hour charter is €100 each, with drinks, snacks and paddleboards included. A full day on Atlantis for the same group works out at €190 each.
If you already know where you want to go, start with the departure port: Vilamoura, Albufeira, Portimão or Lagos. Or compare all 40 yachts in our Algarve yacht charter fleet.
