The Sunset Party Boat: what to expect

The sunset cruise is the most relaxed thing we offer — and for a lot of visitors, the highlight of the trip.

You board at Marina de Lagos in the early evening and head out along the coast as the sun drops. There's music, a drink in hand, and the cliffs of Ponta da Piedade glowing in the last light. It's social, easy and very Algarve.

It runs once a night and the boat is limited, so in July and August it books out days ahead — reserve early. Bring a light layer for when the sun's gone; the breeze picks up on the way back in.

It's an adults-and-families evening rather than a wild party — think golden hour and good company more than a nightclub afloat.
