Private boat hire in Vilamoura with skipper
Your own yacht and crew for the day
Hiring a private boat in Vilamoura means the yacht, the captain and the day belong to your group alone. You board at Vilamoura Marina, and within minutes you are cruising along one of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe, with golden cliffs, quiet coves and clear water for swimming.
Choose the length that suits your day. A 3-hour morning or afternoon charter is perfect for a swim and a cruise along the cliffs; 4 hours gives time to reach the caves; a 2 or 3-hour sunset is the most romantic; and a full day of 7 or 10 hours lets you explore the coast at your own pace.
Every charter includes the captain and crew, fuel for the coastal route, cava, wine, beer, soft drinks, snacks, snorkelling gear and paddleboards. See all four yachts in our fleet.

A typical afternoon charter
Your captain welcomes you on board, talks you through the plan and sets off along the coast. Most guests head for a calm cove to swim, snorkel and try the paddleboards, then cruise back past the cliffs with music on and a glass of cava in hand.
Tell us what you want from the day before you sail: quiet sunbathing, a lively celebration or a long lunch at anchor. Your crew will plan the route around the sea conditions on the day.
