NOON is the flagship of Champagne Cruises Vilamoura and the yacht we reach for when the occasion matters. If you are looking for a boat charter in the Algarve that feels properly special, this is where to start: a Sunseeker San Remo 485, 53 ft long, built in 2013 and fully refitted in 2025.
She takes up to 11 guests, the largest group of any yacht in our fleet, and has two en-suite cabins below deck. Up top, the aft deck has generous seating around a table for drinks and snacks, while the saloon below, with its panoramic windows, gives you shade and a quiet corner whenever you want one.
NOON leaves from Vilamoura Marina with a professional captain and crew. The charter is private, so the yacht, the music and the route are yours alone. Cava, wine, beer, soft drinks, water and snacks are on board, along with snorkelling gear, paddleboards, Wi-Fi and insurance. Fuel for the standard coastal route is included.
She is at her best in the evening. A sunset cruise on NOON, with cava on deck and the Falésia cliffs glowing in the last light, is our most requested Sunseeker yacht charter in Vilamoura. She is just as comfortable on a full day east to the Ria Formosa islands or west to Benagil.
Prices start at €1,000 for a two-hour sunset, per yacht and including VAT. Book online below and save 10%.

Three or four hours to São Rafael and Coelha, with a swim at anchor and paddleboards in the water.
Benagil and Praia da Marinha

Seven or ten hours east to the islands near Faro, Culatra and Farol, with long stops for swimming and lunch.
Why NOON is our first choice for a boat charter in the Algarve
The 2025 refit gave NOON fresh upholstery, updated systems and a finish that feels new. She is a Sunseeker through and through: a deep, confident hull that handles the Atlantic swell comfortably, and decks laid out for living outdoors.
The aft deck is where groups gather. There is room for everyone to sit together, a table for drinks and plates, and the swim platform just behind, where the crew sets out paddleboards and snorkels at anchor. Forward, the bow is the favourite spot at sunset.
Below, the saloon offers shade and panoramic sea views, and the two en-suite cabins give you somewhere private to change after a swim. For groups of nine to eleven, NOON is the only yacht in our fleet that fits everyone, and she does so without feeling crowded.
Your crew of two looks after the details: drinks topped up, the anchor set in the calmest cove, a towel ready when you come out of the water. They know this coast well and will adjust the route to the day’s conditions.
Sunsets, proposals and celebrations on board
NOON is the natural choice for a champagne sunset cruise. In summer the two-hour sunset charter leaves at 19:00 and the three-hour charter at 18:30, timed so you are at sea when the sun drops behind the cliffs.
Cava is included on every charter. For a birthday, an anniversary or a proposal, we can add a bottle of champagne, a cake, decorations, catering or a photographer on request at extra cost. Tell us what you have in mind when you book and we will have it ready on board before you arrive.
Many guests choose a slow route west to Falésia, where the red and gold cliffs catch the evening light, then a pause at anchor for a toast before the run home. With up to 11 guests, NOON also suits family gatherings and small company events that want a private luxury yacht charter in the Algarve without the formality of a larger vessel.
NOON prices: private yacht charter in the Algarve
All prices are for the whole yacht, not per person, and include VAT, captain and crew, fuel for the standard coastal route, drinks, snacks and water toys.
- Sunset, 2 hours: €1,000
- Sunset, 3 hours: €1,300
- Morning or afternoon, 3 hours: €1,300
- Morning or afternoon, 4 hours: €1,650
- Full day, 7 hours: €2,450
- Extended day, 10 hours: €3,650
Morning charters leave at 09:30 or 10:00 and afternoon charters at 13:30 or 14:00. Full days leave at 10:00. For Benagil, choose four hours or more: the run west takes 45 to 60 minutes each way, and three hours leaves little time to swim.
An extended day of ten hours gives you the whole coast at an easy pace: west to Benagil and Carvoeiro, or east to the sandbanks of the Ria Formosa, with long swims and a relaxed lunch at anchor. For groups of nine to eleven, NOON is the only yacht in our fleet that keeps everyone together on one deck.
