Take a Cruise on an Authentic Pirate Ship

If you’re looking for something more exciting and untraditional among the various Praia da Rocha cruises, you will surely find it on board of the authentic pirate ship Santa Bernarda. The ship offers various cruise options, but you should consider taking their Robinson Tour, which is an 8-hour cruise around the beaches of Algrave.

Santa Bernarda

The Santa Bernarda is a two-masted sailing vessel which was modified to accommodate tourists. It is actually not a real pirate ship but a fishing vessel which was fully reconstructed in 1996 to look like an authentic pirate ship. Santa Bernarda is equipped with an excellent bar which serves various drinks and snacks. The ship has reliable safety equipment which complies with the latest regulations. Before it sails, the captain will give detailed instructions on how to use the safety jackets and boats. 

Robinson Tour

The Robinson Tour is the most exciting and longest trip offered by Santa Bernarda. Starting from Praia da Rocha, the ship sails east, near the coastline of Carvoeiro and anchors at Benagil. There you jump off board and explore some marvelous caves. You are then transferred to a nice beach which is accessible only by sea. Enjoy lunch and have the chance to swim and sunbath. You will spend the rest of the day sailing, finally returning back to Praia da Rocha.
