Discover the Best of the Ria Formosa on a Full-Day Private Catamaran
Set sail from Faro Marina and enjoy a full day immersed in the beauty of the Ria Formosa Natural Park — one of Europe’s most unspoiled coastal areas. This private catamaran tour allows you to design your perfect day on the water, whether that means island hopping, swimming in crystal-clear lagoons, snorkeling, or simply soaking up the sun.
Your experienced skipper will suggest the best route based on weather, tides, and your preferences. Visit idyllic barrier islands such as Ilha Deserta, Ilha da Culatra, and Armona, known for their white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. You’ll also explore hidden coves and may even spot some of the park’s abundant birdlife and marine creatures.
Relax onboard with your favorite drink, stop for a fresh seafood lunch, or enjoy a celebratory toast with your group — the day is yours to enjoy at your own pace.
