Have you ever thought about chartering a yacht as a celebration of a event like an important birthday or anniversary?  Algarve Reteats can arrange this for you with a yacht charter company based in Lagos Marina.  There is a full fleet of sail, power and sports boats for half day, day and week charters.  Choose from the Bavaria 38 or Beneteau 411 celebration yachts or the Quicksilver 630, Maxum 2000 SR 3 and Sunseeker fleet of Portofino 46, Superhawk 48 or Camargue 44.  On full day charters, picnics can be provided or restaurant stops arranged. 

Alternatively, book your place on the daily Dolphin Discovery Tour in the Valiant Rib 850.

It's not just about sailing - you can surf, windsurf, waterski and fish.  You don't have to be able to sail - your very own skipper will show you the ropes and you choose where you want to go but if you have a Coastal Skipper licence, you are free to charter a boat and explore the coast for yourself - it's also an ideal way of building experience and sea miles.  Yachtmaster practical preparation courses and sailing instruction is also available.
