Alvor Bay

Protected from the open Atlantic by the dunes of the Ria de Alvor, this wide bay offers some of the calmest waters on the coast. On a clear day, the shallows turn shades of turquoise, creating a landscape that feels far removed from the busier beaches nearby. We anchor over sand for swimming, paddleboarding, and time to simply enjoy the peace of the bay. On lower tides, sandbanks emerge from the water, inviting a short walk across one of the Algarve's most beautiful natural settings.

Routes are decided on the morning of the charter. If conditions favour Alvor Bay, the captain reads the wind at the marina and shapes the day around what the sea is doing — never around a fixed schedule.
