About the experience

Step aboard the Spindrift, a Lock Crowter catamaran designed for both performance and comfort, and set sail for a full day of exploration along the breathtaking Algarve coast.

Whether you’re seeking the thrill of an exhilarating sail or a leisurely cruise, our experienced skippers will tailor the journey to your preferences. Glide across crystal-clear waters, take in the stunning coastal landscapes, and enjoy plenty of opportunities to swim, snorkel, or paddleboard in the region’s most beautiful spots.

Departure & Itinerary
We depart from Alvor, a picturesque fishing village, and sail towards either Lagos or Ferragudo. Along the Ferragudo route, we can anchor at the spectacular Praia João de Arens caves, where you can explore hidden grottoes by paddleboard. If you prefer, we can navigate towards the famous Lagos caves—just let our captain know. A stop at Alvor Lagoon is also an option, offering a perfect spot for a swim and a chance to watch kite surfers in action.

Capacity: Up to 18 guests, ideal for families, groups of friends, or special occasions.

Spend a full day at sea, embracing the beauty of the Algarve while creating unforgettable memories. Feel free to send me a message on Click&Boat platform if you have any question!

    We really enjoyed our trip with David and Julia. Being on the boat, enjoying the sun and cooling off in the sea while anchoring was really nice. At the end it was also possible to see the sundown. Absolutely beautiful for sure, but also a wholesome experience. At all the money was well spent and everybody had a fun day.

    Our catamaran trip with the David and Julia was perfect! It was windy the day we went but they were able to make it comfortable for everyone. We were able to explore the beautiful sights of the Alvor area and swim through some caves. I have already recommended them to a friend that wants to visit Portugal. They also provided and delicious lunch. An overall 5/5 experience!!

    Skippers David and Emma gave us a fantastic morning trip. We sailed to the caves and explored them on three SUPs. Wonderful sailing in Portugal. Beautiful surroundings.

    The boat and tour was amazing. We were coming from about 40mins away and they offered to drive us to them once we were in Alvor. Even though we were a bit late they were very hospitable. They were okay with us just chilling on the net and bringing our own drinks and snacks. I would definitely recommend and I really want to go again!

    This was definitely a highlight and good start of our trip in the Algarve area! Emma and David were amazing and, as a group of 4 girls, we felt comfortable and safe the whole time. The Catamaran was the perfect size for our group and we extremely appreciated having the boards to go to the caves. 100% recommended!

    We had an amazing time with Theodorus and David. The crew are fantastic and it is a great boat. They know the right places to take you. The restaurant at the end based on their recommendation was one of our favourites in the Algarve.

    We had an amazing time! David was a very friendly skipper and helped us feel welcome and safe out on the water. We had time to relax, enjoy the beautiful coastline scenery, and explore little caves and beaches on paddle boards. Can’t recommend enough!

    Theodorus was absolutely brilliant and communicated really well on the day regarding the change of weather. He even suggested delaying our booking into the afternoon in order for us to get better weather and a better experience on the boat - which we definitely did! We were able to get plenty of soft drinks, wine, and sangria on board! It was a lovely experience and I would thoroughly recommend it.

    What a wonderful day we had with our family with 4 teenagers aged 16. In the morning the weather was not quite perfect, and in consultation we were able to arrive an hour later. We were received by the captain and his 2 crew members. The welcome, the explanation and the whole day was super relaxing. The captain's stories were inspiring. We have been to beautiful caves where the normal tourist does not come. Really very special. Until next time!
