Our yachts at Marina de Vilamoura

Vilamoura is the most central marina on the coast and where 22 of our yachts are berthed. A yacht charter in Vilamoura starts in one of the best-known marinas in Portugal, lined with restaurants and an easy drive from Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Albufeira and Faro airport.

The fleet runs from sports yachts for eight to superyachts for 18. NOON, our Sunseeker San Remo 485, is the flagship, refitted in 2025, with two en-suite cabins and room for 11. Majestic, a Sunseeker Portofino 53, takes up to eight, and São Lourenço, a Fairline Targa 47, and Atlantis, an Atlantis 47, each welcome up to 10 and offer excellent value.

For larger groups, the Azimut 80 takes up to 18, the Sunseeker Manhattan 74 and the 19.7 m flybridge A Mar up to 16, and the catamaran Morningstar offers around 200 m² of space for 18. In between are Sunseekers, Princesses and an Azimut 58 for 8 to 12 guests, from Doris of Rock and YOLO 1 to BACO, a Sunseeker Predator 72.

Every charter includes skipper and crew, fuel, drinks and snacks. NOON, Majestic, São Lourenço and Atlantis are booked online with a 50% deposit or full payment by card, and booking online saves 10%. For the other yachts we confirm availability and send a secure link for a 25% deposit, and Morningstar is booked directly on WhatsApp.

What makes Vilamoura special is the choice of direction. Turn west for the red cliffs of Falésia, the coves of Albufeira and the Benagil caves; turn east for the sandbanks and lagoon of the Ria Formosa. Or simply stay close and watch the sun go down on a sunset cruise.

Because the marina sits in the middle of the coast, even a three-hour charter gives you real choice, and a full day lets you combine cliffs, coves and a long lunch at anchor without ever feeling rushed.

Our Vilamoura yachts

Meeting point and timings

NOON, Majestic, São Lourenço and Atlantis depart from Gate A3, in front of Il Lamparo restaurant, on the main promenade of Vilamoura Marina; for the other yachts we send the exact meeting point and times with your confirmation. Please arrive 15 minutes before departure; your crew will meet you and help with bags.

Typical timings on the four yachts with online booking:

  • Morning: 09:30 or 10:00, for three or four hours.
  • Afternoon: 13:30 or 14:00, for three or four hours.

  • Full day: from 10:00, for seven hours, or ten hours on an extended day.

There is parking around the marina, and taxis can drop you nearby. If you are staying in Quinta do Lago or Vale do Lobo, allow about 20 to 25 minutes by car.

Sunseeker yacht below the golden cliffs on the way to Benagil

West: Falésia, Albufeira and Benagil

Most guests turn west. Within 10 to 15 minutes you are below the red and ochre cliffs of Praia da Falésia, one of the longest beaches in the Algarve. Continue for about 25 to 35 minutes and the coast breaks up into the coves, arches and sea stacks of Albufeira: São Rafael, Arrifes and Coelha.

Benagil and Praia da Marinha are about 45 to 60 minutes away, depending on the yacht and sea conditions, so a four-hour charter is ideal. The cave itself is protected: yachts stay outside and swimming into it is not permitted, but the cliffs around it are spectacular from the water. See our Golden Cliffs signature cruise.

Atlantis 47 yacht at anchor in turquoise water

East: the Ria Formosa islands

Turn east and the landscape changes completely. Cliffs give way to long sandbanks, dunes and the shallow channels of the Ria Formosa natural park, about 45 to 60 minutes from Vilamoura.

Your captain anchors off the barrier islands near Faro and the lighthouse of Ilha do Farol, where the water is calm and clear on settled days. It is a gentler, quieter day, ideal for families and swimmers. With a full day you can continue towards Culatra and the Olhão side of the lagoon; see boat trips to Olhão and the Ria Formosa or our Island Day signature cruise.
