Charter a private yacht in the Algarve
Discover the beauty of the Ria Formosa Natural Park on a private half-day motor yacht experience departing from Faro.
Cruise through the calm, sheltered waters of the lagoon aboard your own private yacht, enjoying beautiful views, quiet anchorages and some of the most charming islands and beaches of the Ria Formosa.
During the tour, your skipper will take you through the natural channels of the park, with the possibility to stop near islands such as Deserta, Farol or Culatra, depending on the tide and conditions. Drop anchor in a peaceful bay, swim in crystal-clear waters, try our paddle boards or simply relax on board and enjoy the Algarve sunshine.
