Yacht charter in the Algarve
Elite Charters Algarve brings together private luxury yachts along the whole of the Algarve coast. At Vilamoura Marina our fleet of 22 yachts is led by the flagship NOON, a Sunseeker San Remo, with yachts from the Sunseeker Portofino 53 Majestic and the Fairline Targa 47 São Lourenço to the Azimut 80, the Sunseeker Manhattan 74 and the 18-guest catamaran Morningstar. Along the coast, our yachts and catamarans in Albufeira, Portimão and Lagos mean your day can start close to your hotel or villa.
Every charter is private. The yacht, the crew and the route are yours alone, and the price is for the whole boat, not per person. Head west to the golden cliffs of Benagil and Praia da Marinha, east to the sandbanks of the Ria Formosa, or stay close to Vilamoura for a relaxed swim below the red cliffs of Falésia. As the light softens, a sunset and champagne cruise is the perfect way to end a day in the Algarve.
We plan birthdays, hen parties, proposals, family days and corporate and golf groups, and our signature cruises give you a ready-made route that we can still tailor to you. Skipper, crew, fuel, drinks and snacks are always included. Explore the full Algarve fleet, compare prices, or read our Algarve coast guide for ideas.

Where do the yachts depart from?
Our yachts are based at Vilamoura Marina, Albufeira, Portimão and Lagos, so you can start close to where you are staying.
What is included?
Every charter is private and includes the skipper and crew, fuel for the planned route, drinks and snacks. Most yachts also carry snorkelling gear and paddleboards. Catering, decorations and other extras can be arranged on request.
Can we visit the Benagil caves?
Yes, Benagil is a popular route. Yachts stay outside the protected cave, where swimming in or landing is not permitted, and you enjoy Marinha and the surrounding coves from the water. Read more on our Benagil yacht charter page.
How do I book?
NOON, Majestic, São Lourenço and Atlantis in Vilamoura can be booked online with a 50% deposit or full payment, and booking online saves 10%. For our other yachts we confirm availability first and then send a secure link to pay the deposit. You can also message us on WhatsApp at any time.
What if the weather is bad?
Safety comes first. If the skipper cancels because of the weather or sea conditions, you can move to another date or receive a full refund.
