Santa Bernarda Pirate Ship – sail to the Benagil sea cave, explore secret beaches, and delight in the unique experience of sailboat cruising along the Algarve coast.
Santa Bernarda is quite a unique boat. Like something out of Pirates of the Caribbean, the Santa Bernarda is a graceful ship with
two masts and
seven sails, cutting a majestic swathe through the Atlantic waters, as it cruises by the golden beaches and intricate coastline of the Algarve. As you relax on board you will be lulled by the hypnotic sounds of the wind in the sails and the waves lapping the ship’s hull. Close your eyes and you can easily imagine yourself living a pirate adventure in times gone by.
