Ideal Cruise Durations for Exploring Benagil

While the thrill of the Benagil Caves can be enjoyed during shorter outings, we recommend dedicating enough time to fully immerse yourself in their beauty. Whether you opt for a four-hour, five-hour, or full-day adventure, each option promises its own unique way to experience the Algarve’s iconic coastline.

1. Four-Hour Cruise
   For those on a tighter schedule, this half-day option provides a mesmerizing snapshot of southern Portugal’s most renowned cave system. You’ll sail directly to the Benagil Cave to witness its dramatic rock formations and distinctive natural skylight, snap a few pictures, enjoy a refreshing swim, and still have time to savor the coastal scenery. It’s the ideal introduction to one of the Algarve’s top destinations—without taking too big a bite out of your day.

2. Five-Hour Cruise
   If you’re looking to explore a bit more of the region’s coves and grottoes, the five-hour cruise offers a balanced itinerary. You’ll have an extra hour to linger around hidden bays, try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and fully unwind in the sun. This flexible duration lets you combine sightseeing with leisurely moments on board the MY 40S—perfect for travellers who want just a bit more time on the water.

3. Seven-Hour Full-Day Adventure
   For a truly immersive experience, choose the full-day cruise. In addition to visiting the iconic Benagil Cave, you’ll have ample time to explore neighbouring cliffs, pause at secluded coves, and maybe even anchor for lunch at a local seaside restaurant (meal not included). Longer outings allow you to take advantage of every amenity on the Fountaine Pajot MY 40S—enjoy sunbathing on the roomy deck, retreat to the air-conditioned interior, and raise a toast to the Algarve’s breathtaking seascapes.
