It seems like you are a passionate globetrotter! I'm sure you are always looking for unique trips and adventures 🌎 I might have something for you ;) Do you feel like an adventure trip on our catamaran along the Portuguese Algarve coast? Find the most beautiful places to surf, drop anchor in secluded bays for a yoga session and sleep outside on deck in the hammock! If you're lucky, you might even catch a fish and watch dolphins or whales. Guitars and ukulele are definitely already on board! Additionally, clean up the ocean a little bit during your trip and collect trash together with us. Don't worry - you don't have to know how to sail! Only the desire for an adventure & the passion for extraordinary journeys you should bring along 🌏 On board the 'Ohana', everyone helps out and lends a hand, just like in a real, small family. And if you feel like it, we'll teach you everything you need to know about sailing. It is our firm belief that it is the goosebump moments and encounters with other people that make travel special. That's why we want to make it possible for everyone to see the world with their own eyes. Sailing is probably the most beautiful means of transportation surrounded by the wonderful nature. But above all, we pay attention to our ecological footprint when we travel. 👣 We use the wind to move around, the salt water to make our own water and use solar energy for our electricity. On board our own boat, we live completely self-sufficiently and in harmony with nature. For us Oceanlover it is infinitely important not only to keep the sea clean on our travels, but also to make it even cleaner. 🌊 On our adventure trip you can connect with like-minded globetrotters and share your experiences and learn something from the others while traveling! 🚀 WHERE DO WE SAIL?🗺️ The Algarve is the beautiful southern coast of Portugal. It is a region of stunning beaches, high cliffs, sea caves, gorgeous bays, sandy islands, picturesque fishing villages and a wonderful climate. Surrounded on two sides by the Atlantic Ocean, it is a surfer's paradise and offers some of the best surfing in Europe, with great waves to learn to surf. OUR BOAT:⛵ We are cruising with our own catamaran (Lagoon 380). This boat has plenty of room for eight people with 4 spacious cabins each, which means you share a double cabin with your tripmate, a salon with kitchen, sofa and stereo. The Algarve coast is a very relaxed sailing area, there are no big waves, so there is very little wobble, so you don't have to worry about seasickness :-) 🏄♂️🏄♀️ The trip includes two full days of surfing at a local surf school and 2 yoga sessions with a certified yoga coach. For fun besides sailing, we also have 2 stand-up paddle boards and snorkel sets on board. And if the waves are not good, we just go skateboarding on the beach, what do you think? We definitely have a few boards with us as well! THE CREW: I'm the skipper, Ben. I sailed around the world with a buddy for about 5 years. On our trip we experienced a lot, met great people and made a lot of music (we are musicians and studied sound engineers). We filmed the whole thing and our travel documentary "Blown Away" was shown in many German cinemas in 2019. More on www.blownaway-movie.de And I am the skipper, Elena. Once on board a boat and I never left the sea. Together with Ben, I now live on our beautiful catamaran in the most beautiful place in the world in southern Portugal. "Life is too short for sometime" - I just love to live crazy, free and different and to follow a path that fulfills you. For 3 years now I work with social media and capture our different life on photos and videos. www.instagram.com/elenamarisa_ So, be part of it! Together we will explore the beautiful Algarve coast, sail, surf, swim, dive, fish 🐟 , do yoga 🧘♀ , soak up the sun☀ , clean the ocean 🌊, chat and music, music, music🎼 And when we anchor we can make a campfire on the beach and grill our self caught fish! Ditch the car and sail right into the middle of the adventure. That's what it really means to get away from it all. Are you with us? 😊 Then send us a message in a bottle! :) We look forward to seeing you!
This ship has sailed!
Unfortunately this trip has commenced or been completed already. But don't worry! We have a lot more similar trips that you could check out.
After a hearty and healthy breakfast we cast off and set sail! Since we are always dependent on the wind and weather and to find the best surf spots, the sailing route can change a little and must be adapted to the weather conditions. Our first landfall is in Lagos. Lagos is known for its walled old town, cliffs and Atlantic beaches. Steep wooden steps lead to the sandy cove of Praia do Camilo. The nearby cliffs of Ponta de Piedade offer a magnificent view of the headland and a lighthouse.

Portimão
Day 2-3
Portimão is the largest city in the Western Algarve and was traditionally a center for shipbuilding, sardine fishing and fish processing. Today, most of this industry has been replaced by tourism, leisure and retail, making Portimão a large city with many residential areas. There is quite a lot to see in the city. The city's old and once busy fishing docks have been responsibly transformed into a picturesque promenade.
3
Alvor
Day 3-4
Alvor is one of the most beautiful resorts in the Algarve and the ideal destination if you want to spend a relaxing day on the beach. Historically, Alvor was a fortified town and fishing port. The town sits on the banks of the Alvor Estuary overlooking the protected marshlands of the Ria de Alvor Nature Reserve, while to the south is Praia do Alvor, one of the largest sandy beaches in the Algarve. Alvor is a delightful town with a typical Portuguese appearance. There are traditional whitewashed houses, narrow cobblestone streets and small fishing boats stopped on the banks of the river.
4
Zavial
Day 4-5
The next day we drop anchor in Zavial. Here the long and tubular waves are ideal for surfing and bodyboarding, but Zavial Beach has other attractions to offer. Surrounded by high and often steep cliffs that protect from all strong winds, this beach is very popular. Let's snorkel or go into the water with our boards! Zavial is located east of the town of Sagres and is one of the most famous waves in southern Portugal. It can be fast and hollow and gets offshore winds most of the time, so smaller waves can set up. The beach is not as exposed to westerly winds, but there are good waves that wrap around it and hit it. It is a clean hollow wave and with small swells it is ideal for beginners and advanced surfers. Also, Zavial is a great beach to relax and take a relaxing swim when the waves are not breaking.
5
Sagres
Day 5-6
Tonal Beach is within walking distance from the center of Sagres and is a great beach for surfing for beginners to advanced surfers. The waves are consistent but varied. There are waves all year round and in the winter months it can swell a lot, which can be spectacular. Tonal Beach is easy to reach from Sagres and when conditions are good it is one of the most beautiful surfing beaches in the Algarve. The small, elongated village of Sagres overlooks some of the most dramatic scenery in the Algarve and seems like the end of the world. High above the foaming ocean are cliffs with windswept forts that link it to Portugal's intense nautical past. It is the only place in the world where white storks nest on cliffs.
6
Praia do Beliche
Day 6-7
Beliche is a small sheltered beach north of Sagres and offers a great wave with the right swell. The large cliffs make Beliche a spectacular beach to surf and the best months to surf here are before and after the main summer months. A boon of wave and beach for surfing for intermediate and advanced surfers. Praia do Beliche is located south of the towering and strangely flat cliffs of Cabo Sao Vicente. Not only does this provide a spectacular backdrop, but it also offers a bit of protection from the strong Atlantic waves that hit the coast further north. This is not to say that there are no waves here - quite the opposite. It is one of the best surfing beaches in Sagres, with the waves often a little more manageable than the other beaches around the headland.
7
Portimão
Day 7-8
We sail south again. Unfortunately, our adventurous and entertaining week is coming to an end and we have to slowly return to Portimão. Will we make it? Or will we just sail on to America instead? Who is with us? Let's see...
