The Algarve coastline is spectacularly beautiful - and one of the best ways to appreciate it is from the sea. Board the Ophelia catamaran for a relaxing cruise that is a feast for your eyes. Visit the spectacular Benagil cave as well as the many other amazing rock caverns along the coast.
The Ophelia is a large and comfortable catamaran. Very stable in the water, the Ophelia has an inner lounge, shaded decks and sundecks, bar, WC and wi-fi on board. You can board the Ophelia (departures from Portimão) and enjoy trips along the coast, to see the famous caves and grottoes and maybe even spot some dolphins.
