What could be more serene than a morning sailing trip from Marina de Portimão? As our local guide Miguel likes to say, “Out here, you don't just see the Algarve - you feel its rhythm, shaped by wind, water, and time.” Gliding along the coastline towards the striking rock formations of Praia do Vau, you'll quickly understand what he means. With the gentle motion of the boat and the vast Atlantic stretching ahead, this is a chance to experience the region from its most peaceful and authentic perspective.
Onboard, you can unwind with refreshing drinks and tasty tapas as the golden and red cliffs drift by. Take the plunge for a revitalising swim in crystal-clear waters, then relax on deck, drying off in the warm sunshine. The iconic stand-alone rock at Praia do Vau rises like a solitary giant at the edge of the beach, offering a truly memorable sight. It's the perfect backdrop for photos - and an unforgettable moment on one of Europe's most impressive coastlines.
