boat hire in Canical · Privilege — 51 (1998)

Sailing Sensation is a 15-metre Privilege catamaran built in France in 1998, designed for real sailing and Atlantic conditions rather than luxury cruising. She offers 4 double Nautalins and 4 bathrooms, a spacious saloon with two dining tables, and a large cockpit with shaded seating for social moments. On deck, guests can relax on the bow trampolines or access the sea easily via the two stern sugar scoops. The yacht is fully equipped with a galley, fridge and freezer, sound system, outdoor shower and snorkelling gear. Safety is a priority, with life jackets for all guests, liferaft, VHF radio, and reliable navigation equipment. She sails comfortably at around 6 knots, offering stability and confidence at sea. Before becoming part of Sailing Sensation, the yacht lived an active sailing life, including offshore passages and regattas. Today, she continues that spirit through family outings, long sails with friends, and carefully curated experiences for guests. Always focused on authenticity rather than luxury. The yacht is based at Marina da Quinta do Lorde, on the quieter east coast of Madeira Island. From here, guests can explore dramatic cliffs, hidden coves only accessible by boat, and crystal-clear waters around Ponta de São Lourenço, as well as sail further to the golden beaches of Porto Santo. The area offers excellent swimming, snorkelling, dolphin and whale watching, and relaxed seaside restaurants serving fresh local fish. We chose this yacht because she reflects our values: freedom, simplicity and a genuine connection to the sea. One quiet morning sail at sunrise, accompanied by dolphins and absolute silence, reminded us why we do this and that feeling is what we aim to share with everyone who steps on board.
