Cabo de Rama Run
South along the coast to the cape with the old fort on it. Two and a half hours from the Sal to Canaguinim and Cabo de Rama, under red cliffs no road reaches, with a snorkel and a swim off the boat and the fort's cave seen the way it was meant to be seen: from the sea.
The run begins on the Sal: green water and mangroves, the trawler fleet at Cutbona, the dolphins at the mouth on most mornings. Then the boat crosses the bar, Betul beach slides past on the left, and the coast changes. The sand gives out. Red laterite cliffs rise straight from the water, headland after headland, with no road behind them and nothing on top but scrub and the odd palm. Canaguinim comes first, a crescent of pale sand cut into the cliffs, empty on most days because the only other way in is a long climb down. Beyond it the land lifts again, to the cape.
Cabo de Rama is the headland the trip is named for. The old fort runs along the top of it, its walls following the cliff edge; at the foot of the cliff a cave opens at the waterline, and the way to see the two together is from the water. Below the fort there is a small beach, and the sea off the cape is where the boat stops: a snorkel when the water is clear, best in the morning, a swim, a line for anyone who wants one. On the way back the crew point out the rock the fishermen call the Crocodile mouth and the hill line they call the Sleeping Buddha, then the lighthouse, the temples and the cross on the shore, and the fishermen's village at Betul. On board: water, soft drinks, juice, ice, dry fruits, fresh fruit salad and a music system. Departures run from morning to a sunset slot.

Green river and mangroves, the trawler fleet at Cutbona, dolphins at the mouth on most mornings. Then the bar, Betul beach on the left, and the boat turns south into open water. From here the trip is its own.
A crescent of pale sand cut into the red cliffs, reached by boat or a long climb down, so it is empty on most days. From the water it is yours.
The cape itself: the old fort along the cliff top, the small beach beneath it and the cave opening at the waterline, all from the sea, where they can be seen together.
A stop off the cape, at the captain's call, to snorkel and swim, with a line in the water for anyone who wants one. Mornings have the clearest water.
The same coast the other way round: the rock the fishermen call the Crocodile mouth, the hill line they call the Sleeping Buddha, then the lighthouse, the temples, the cross and the fishermen's village at Betul.
Water, soft drinks, juice, ice, dry fruits and fresh fruit salad, and a music system for your playlist.

Good to know
When does the Cabo de Rama Run operate?
From September to April, when the Arabian Sea is calm enough for the coast run. Through the monsoon the open-water route is not offered. Departures run from morning through to a sunset slot; mornings give the clearest water for the snorkel and the best chance of dolphins on the way out.
Is the snorkel part of the trip?
Yes. The boat stops off Cabo de Rama for a snorkel and a swim when conditions allow, and the morning departures have the clearest water. Tell us when you book and we will confirm what gear is on board for your group.
How many guests can come, and on which yacht?
Up to 15. The run uses two yachts, one carrying up to 12 guests and one up to 15, assigned to your group by size and availability. Both are private: no shared departures.
What is there to see at Cabo de Rama from the sea?
The headland itself, with the old fort running along the cliff top and its walls following the edge; the cave that opens at the waterline at the foot of the cliff; the small beach below the fort; and the red laterite cliffs running north to the cove at Canaguinim. On the way back the crew point out the rock the fishermen call the Crocodile mouth, the hill line known as the Sleeping Buddha, the lighthouse on the Betul headland, the temples and the cross on the shore, and the fishing village at Betul.
How is this different from the Sea Escape?
The Sea Escape is three hours on a yacht or catamaran with appetisers and beers included, priced from four guests, along the cliffs and hidden beaches south of Betul. The Cabo de Rama Run is the furthest south we go: two and a half hours on a sports cruiser to Canaguinim and the cape, with the fort, the cave and a snorkel stop.
