# Seaborn Catamaran trips

**Guidekin's take:** A catamaran cruise that combines the dolphin and whale search with a look at the Cabo Girão cliff from the water and a drink on deck, on a stable boat that suits families. The operator is upfront that sightings are not guaranteed, and nothing beyond the cruise is included. 4.52 from 524 reviews at €35 per person.

**First boat trip?:** Choose Seaborn for a shared catamaran with Cabo Girão views: 3h at €35 per person, 4.52 from 524 reviews; sightings are not guaranteed. Trade-off: Sightings are not guaranteed. (last checked September 15, 2026)
