We had an absolutely wonderful day aboard this beautiful sailing ship. The crew was exceptionally friendly, and the BBQ was excellent — all at a very reasonable price. We spent more than seven hours at sea, enjoying spectacular views of the cliffs and rock formations along the Algarve coast.
The ship is extremely well maintained, with a charming and comfortable bar area inside. However, the weather and scenery were so stunning that we preferred to stay on deck for almost the entire trip.
A truly memorable experience and one we would gladly repeat. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Algarve.
An unmissable wonderful experience
Found the trip on TripAdvisor during a stay in Olhas De Agua, however start time of the trip was unclear, so we drove to Vilamoura, and located the sales hut in the marina. The lady that served us was very pleasant and knowledgable about all of the trips. We were three adults and my mother-in-law at 81 had a reduced price, which wasn’t available on trip advisor. So it was €32 (£28) for adults and €25 (£22) for seniors. The trip leave the harbour round by the Tivoli Marina hotel, asked to be there 30 mins before we set sail. The boats capacity is 80, but will sail with at least half. We were around 50 in total which was a nice number with lots of room to move around. The trip was an amazing, v.clean, toilets and bar area. Soft drinks (€3), coffee (€1.70), aperol spritz (€8), wine (€3). We sailed up to the Bengali caves with the helpful staff pointing out areas and beaches, we then had a wonderful rib ride over and around the caves which were wonderful and the opportunity for a swim in the sea, which wasn’t cold as expected. At this time of year we had wonderful weather, and the sun was on its way down as returned at 6pm. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Parking was free and close by at the back of the marina, with plenty of places for food and drinks. Much better to do this longer trip, than pay the same for very short trips to the caves. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. The staff were experts, very caring and supportive helping mum-in-law onto the rib and into and out of the sea as she swam as well. They were all brilliant 🤩

Barco, praia, churrasco, que dia.
Tivemos um dia fantástico no Condor de Vilamoura. Vimos a costa e fomos muito bem informados sobre as praias pelo maravilhoso pessoal. O descanso e banho em uma praia de descanso muito privado ea churrasqueira foram ótimos. Podíamos escolher entre peixe e carne, pasta e salada e vinhas adoráveis. Tivemos um dia inesquecível e sempre olharemos para trás. Obrigado.
Went on the 7 hour tour today. What an amazing experience. Everyone in this company is fantastic. From booking to departure it was positive. The cruise itself was amazing. The views from the boat were spectacular. The crew points out all the towns down the coast ( get ready for a quiz from the captain!!). We stopped and swam from the boat. Then got a tour of the caves before stopping on our private beach for a fantastic lunch and more swimming/sunning. The trip back gave us a chance to chat with fellow passengers and the very attentive captain and crew. Don’t hesitate to book with this company. You will not regret the experience.

Wow, thanks for that amazing review.
Uma viagem para lembrar.
Que experiência fantástica e uma que você deve ter certeza de não perder. Tudo declarado no folheto foi entregue em abundância, e bem vale o dinheiro. A equipe foi muito simpática, útil e informativa. Um navio deslumbrante, um dingy para ver as cavernas e baías dos resorts costeiros e uma fantástica churrasqueira de praia com comida de excelente qualidade. A cereja no bolo estava sendo capaz de mergulhar do barco e nadar no mar, antes de voltar para o porto de Villamora cerca de sete horas a partir do início da navegação. Recomendo vivamente esta excursão.
