Luxury Yacht Charter in the Algarve
Compare our four yachts and every charter, from a two-hour sunset to a ten-hour day.
A luxury yacht charter in the Algarve should be simple to plan. This page sets out everything in one place: our four private yachts, the charter types they offer and the price of each, so you can choose with confidence.
All four yachts leave from Vilamoura Marina, in the middle of the Algarve coast, with a professional captain and crew. Every charter is private. The same inclusions apply on every yacht: cava, wine, beer, soft drinks, water and snacks, snorkelling gear and paddleboards, Wi-Fi and music, insurance and fuel for the standard coastal route.
What changes is the yacht itself. NOON is our Sunseeker flagship for up to 11 guests. Majestic is a sleek Sunseeker sports yacht for up to 8. São Lourenço is a sporty Fairline for up to 10, and Atlantis a relaxed, spacious yacht for up to 10 at our best price.
Then there is the time of day. A morning or afternoon charter of three or four hours suits most guests. A sunset charter of two or three hours is the classic evening on the water. A full day of seven hours or an extended day of ten opens up Benagil, Carvoeiro or the Ria Formosa islands.
Prices are per yacht and include VAT, from €700 for a two-hour sunset. Booking online on any yacht page saves 10%. If you would like advice on which Algarve yacht charter suits your group, message us on WhatsApp.

Luxury yacht charter Algarve: compare the fleet
Choose by group size first, then by style.
- NOON, Sunseeker San Remo 485, 53 ft, refitted 2025, up to 11 guests, two en-suite cabins. The flagship for sunsets and celebrations. From €1,000 for a two-hour sunset to €3,650 for ten hours.
- Majestic, Sunseeker Portofino 53, 53 ft, refitted 2022, up to 8 guests, two en-suite cabins. Sleek and intimate for couples and small groups. From €800 to €3,150.
- São Lourenço, Fairline Targa 47, 47 ft, refitted 2025, up to 10 guests, two en-suite cabins. Sporty, great value and our first pick for Benagil. From €700 to €3,000.
- Atlantis, Atlantis 47, 47 ft, refitted 2023, up to 10 guests, two cabins. Relaxed and spacious, the best value for families. From €700 to €2,500.
For nine to eleven guests, NOON is the only option. For a couple, Majestic is the most romantic. For ten friends heading west, São Lourenço. For ten family members staying close to the marina, Atlantis. Every yacht carries the same drinks, snacks, water toys and crew of two, so the choice is about space, style and budget rather than what is included.
Morning, afternoon and sunset charters
Morning charters leave at 09:30 or 10:00 and last three or four hours. The sea is often calmest early in the day, which makes mornings ideal for families and for snorkelling. Prices run from €900 (Atlantis, 3 hours) to €1,650 (NOON, 4 hours).
Afternoon charters leave at 13:30 or 14:00, with the same durations and prices. This is the warmest part of the day for swimming and paddleboarding at anchor.
Sunset charters leave at 19:00 for two hours or 18:30 for three hours in summer. Most head west to the Falésia cliffs, which glow red and gold in the evening light. Two hours costs €700 on Atlantis or São Lourenço, €800 on Majestic and €1,000 on NOON. Our champagne sunset cruise page has the full details.
Three hours is enough for Falésia, Olhos de Água and the Albufeira coves. For anything further west, choose four hours or more. Four hours also suits groups who simply want a longer swim stop and a slower lunch on deck.
Full days, extended days and Benagil
A full day of seven hours leaves at 10:00 and gives you time to travel and to linger. Prices are €1,900 on Atlantis, €2,100 on São Lourenço, €2,150 on Majestic and €2,450 on NOON. An extended day of ten hours runs from €2,500 to €3,650.
Longer days open up two classic routes. West lies Benagil, Praia da Marinha and Carvoeiro, 45 to 60 minutes away depending on sea conditions. East lie the Ria Formosa islands near Faro, Culatra and Farol, also 45 to 60 minutes, with sandbanks and quiet water ideal for a long lunch at anchor.
Benagil can be reached on a four-hour charter, though a full day is more relaxed. The Benagil cave is a protected area: yachts stay outside and swimming into the cave is not allowed. You see the entrance, the arches and the cliffs from the deck, then swim in nearby coves where conditions and local rules allow. See our private Benagil cave tour for more.
Celebrations and special occasions
Birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, hen and stag groups who prefer cava to chaos: a private yacht is a fine way to mark the day.
Cava is included on every charter. On request and at extra cost, we can add a bottle of champagne, catering, a cake, decorations or a photographer. Let us know when you book and everything will be on board when you arrive.
For celebrations, we usually suggest NOON: she takes the most guests and is at her best at sunset. For a proposal or an anniversary for two, Majestic offers a quieter, more intimate setting. And for a larger birthday on a budget, São Lourenço and Atlantis both take ten.
Timing matters too. A sunset charter is the classic choice for a toast, while a full day suits a relaxed family celebration with swims, lunch at anchor and plenty of time to talk. Whatever you plan, the yacht is private, so the music, the pace and the route are yours to choose.
