Catamarano Mara Grotte, Nuoto & Cibo

Great day out — just know the BBQ is gone Really enjoyed this trip. The coastline and caves are stunning and the whole thing was relaxed and well run. Heads up for anyone booking: there's no beach BBQ anymore they served us sandwiches instead. Still perfectly fine, just don't go expecting the grill some older reviews mention. The crew played good music the whole way, which added to the vibe. Nice touch that the tour was run in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, so everyone on board could follow along. Would recommend — just book it for the boat, the scenery and the swim rather than the food.

Unbeatable value for money, we saw the entire Portuguese coast, we were able to swim in the middle of the trip, and even watch the dolphins! The meal was included as well as 2 drinks and a glass of sparkling wine. The team was super friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was very nice, I highly recommend!

We had a great time on the Catamaran Mara yesterday. The crew were very friendly and helpful. Lots of caves and rock formations to see along the way. There's a bit of a queue of boats to get near the Benagil caves and due to the size of the boat you can't go all the way in, so don't quite see it as the photos show, but still very worthwhile. The highlight for us was the chance to jump off the boat and have a swim the lovely blue sea. This wasn't rushed at all and lunch is served at the same time, so you can swim again after lunch. Lunch and two drinks are included with the trip, so we didn't need to spend any extra money on board. You can move around the boat whilst on it as well, so don't need to stay seated. Would definitely recommend this trip :)

Everything about this trip was perfect. The crew were polite and entertaining and the quality of the food was exceptional. Very impressed with Trip Advisor

Positive points: a nice boat trip along the Algarve coast, the staff was very friendly, a meal break off the coast of a beach with the possibility of swimming. Negative points: 1 . The meal: the chicken wrap was really not good and overall the meal is not up to par (that famous wrap with very dry and hard breaded chicken, Mexican chips and a small tomato, cucumber, onion salad, a slice of melon for dessert and two drinks included). 2 . The price: initially this excursion included a barbecue on a beach but as that is now prohibited, the providers have adapted but the price has remained just as high with much lower quality services.

We had a great time. The crew was great. Very friendly and informative. Food was really good and the cave and coastline was beautiful to see.

Very relaxed atmosphere, okay food and nice views. Great staff, great locations to see and great service throughout the trip. Can recommend this!

We had an amazing time on our catamaran cruise to the Benagil Caves with Algarve Charters! The boat was clean, and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the stunning Algarve coastline. The views of the dramatic cliffs, hidden beaches, and sea caves were absolutely breathtaking. Seeing the Benagil Cave from the water was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. The crew made sure everyone had a great view for photos. One of our favorite parts of the day was anchoring offshore and swimming in the clear water right from the decks of the catamaran. It was so much fun and made the experience even more memorable.. A special thank you to our guide, Deward, who truly went above and beyond. He frequently checked in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.

The staff was very nice, and overall totally worth the money. Food and drinks were served and good music was playing.

Nice tour with the family! Nice lookout, sat/tanned at the back of the boat the whole family, good that we took a motion sickness tablet before. Ok food with chicken wrap and salad. Bath and sun.
