## Key Operational Notes

- All charters depart from Marina de Lagos (37.1028 N, 8.6732 W).
- Benagil from Lagos: morning only (08:00–09:30). Afternoon and sunset visits to Benagil from Lagos are not advised due to the prevailing NW wind (nortada) on the unsheltered 25 km return leg.
- Sunset experiences from Lagos are recommended along Ponta da Piedade, not toward Benagil.
- Swimming, SUP and kayak entry into Benagil Cave from our boats is not offered; the cave is viewed from the boat.
