Sailing in the Algarve

The warm waters of the Algarve provide the perfect conditions for sailing. On the refreshing Atlantic Ocean, the Algarve Coast is Portugal's most popular seaside resort, the setting for a unique holiday experience. Proud of its year-round mild climate, it offers 150 km of superb coastline, with the finest of beaches nestling between dunes and cliffs.

Get a different perspective and take a cruise along the coast. Explore the Algarve by sea.

Have an unforgettable experience discovering the sea caves and grottoes along the coast at Lagos. Alternatively, zip between the rocky formations and sheer cliffs. Drop anchor off an isolated beach, and if wished, the service includes a sardine barbecue with music, be it live or to your own choosing.

The Ria Formosa is a lagoon system stretching for some 60 kilometres. Simply let the wind carry you past its peninsulas, islands and natural canals.

On Ilha Deserta, including the Cape of Santa Maria, there is a vast stretch of sand, natural vegetation and an ocean beach with crystalline waters, one of the natural highlights in the east of cosmopolitan Algarve.
