This private sailing sunset trip from Portimão takes approximately 3 hours. Our modern sailing yachts can take up to 10 guests and are always chartered for private groups only.
Enjoy the sunset on our sailing boat with only yourselves and a personal captain and host to attend to your needs.
While your skipper navigates the Algarvian coastline, your host will serve you bottled water, sparkling wine and dessert to welcome the evening.
You are invited to bring your own drinks and snacks and can make full use of our kitchen and icebox, or request our half catering option Half catering includes; a charcuterie board with local cheese, Portuguese cured meats accompanied by fresh bread, white and rose wines as well as local beer.
Sunset is the most magical time of the day. Especially in the Algarve, where the skies can turn into authentic pieces of art while the sun sets at the horizon.
Given the different times the sun sets around the year, we have three different departure times.
In the early spring we depart at 5:30. The sun sets earlier and lower in the sky so you see the entire ocean reflect the light of the sun as it disappears in the horizon.
In the summer, set sail at 6pm to enjoy the longer evenings and go home later after watching the sun hide behind the cliffs of Ponta João D’Arens, or Ponta Da Piedade. As you sail towards home on your private yacht, the sun will seemingly rise and fall again as we make our way back to Portimão Marina and out of the shadow of the cliffs.
In fall, we embark at 5:30 to watch the sun set further south and meandres more slowly down the sky as it sets over the Atlantic. Watching the sunset while floating on the ocean on a private sailboat is one of the most romantic and awe inspiring experiences you can have.
During your 3 hours out at sea, your captain will hoist the sails in front of Praia da Rocha and head westward to let the evening land breeze propel you onward. Your skipper will find the best spot to drop anchor near Ponta João D’Arens or Praia do Alemão. You can take a dive off the boat and have a short swim, or sit back and relax with our complimentary chilled wine and traditional Portuguese pastries fresh out of the oven.
Lagos and Benagil are some of the most popular destinations on our day trips, but on this sunset trip that would be too far. If you’d like some more time to explore the coastline, check out our full-day private boat trips. Or maybe you prefer a sailing catamaran or motorboat instead of a sailing yacht? We’ve got these options too! Have a look at all our day trips in the Algarve.
