About the experience

Set off from the heart of Funchal on a three-hour voyage along the spectacular southern coast of Madeira. With only a small group on board and a local skipper at the helm, this intimate experience offers a quiet, refreshing escape from the busy streets and a chance to see the island from a completely different perspective.

There’s no rigid plan—this tour is about going with the flow. Depending on the sea conditions and your interests, the skipper will navigate to some of the most beautiful and peaceful stretches of coastline. You might cruise alongside soaring cliffs, pass by traditional fishing villages nestled into the hillsides, or drop anchor in a sheltered bay with calm, clear waters ideal for swimming. The emphasis is on slowing down, enjoying the scenery, and letting the moment guide the journey.

Along the way, you’ll have the chance to ask questions about the island, its coastal geology, or local traditions. Or you may prefer to simply sit back and take in the views with a refreshing drink in hand as the sun warms the deck. Sightings of dolphins, seabirds, and even sea turtles are possible, especially during the warmer months, adding an extra touch of magic to the experience.

Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks on board, making it easy to enjoy a picnic at sea or toast the view with your favorite beverage. Whether you're visiting Madeira for the first time or returning to see it from a new angle, this coastal discovery tour offers a balance of freedom, comfort, and quiet wonder.

With no crowds, no strict schedule, and no distractions—just the sea, the island, and a few hours to enjoy them both—this is a simple, memorable way to connect with the wild, beautiful edge of Madeira.

    We had a wonderful boat trip; the skippers were very friendly and shared lots of interesting facts about the area. They really listened to our needs, and that's partly why we had a wonderful afternoon!

    The truth is that I don't usually post comments, but when the experience far exceeds your expectations due to how well things are done, I think it's fair and necessary to say it, and yesterday's experience with Gloria and Gustavo was incredible, one to repeat without a doubt. They were very friendly and explained many things about the island and Funchal. The route was very beautiful, seeing incredible cliffs and caves, and we took a swim where we could see fish while snorkeling. The boat was very spacious for the 5 of us, and we were able to play our music and bring food and drinks. The nice detail they had for us was a bottle of rosé wine, accompanied by grapes and pineapple, very rich and cool. Thank you very much to Gloria and Gustavo for the wonderful day yesterday.
