We loved the captains, lunch and jumping off the boat to swim at the 1st stop. But we felt the journey on the way back felt SUPER LONG with out a second stop to swim since the sun is so strong at that time. It would have also been useful to provide some sort of shade on the deck besides going down to the galley where u can feel sea sick. If this existed I would give a 10 out of 10 since the food was amazing and the Spotify playlist was on point along with the paddle boards and snorkel gear provided. But If you are sensitive to sun and heat then I would find a boat with more shade and that stops more frequent to swim
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback! 😊 We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the captains, the delicious lunch, the swim at the first stop, as well as the paddle boards, snorkel gear, and playlist — it sounds like you made the most of your time on board! We appreciate your honest comments about the return journey and the limited shade available on deck. We understand that a long stretch without a second swim stop can feel tiring, especially with strong sun, and we take your suggestion seriously. Providing more shaded areas on the deck is something we are exploring to improve guest comfort without compromising the experience at sea. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope that despite these points, you had a memorable trip. For guests sensitive to sun and heat, we’ll be sure to highlight these considerations more clearly to help them choose the best option. Thanks again for joining us — we hope to welcome you back in the future with an even better experience! 🌞🚤🌊 Best regards, VENTURA TEAM
From the moment of booking to the return to the harbor, everything went impeccably. The booking was quick and simple, and the Ventura team was always attentive and professional. The boat ride to the Deserts was simply spectacular! We were lucky to spot dolphins — a real thrill. Between refreshing dives, snorkeling and fun moments at the stand up paddle, visiting the island, there were activities to get the most out of the day. The lunch, already included in the tour, was delicious, with meat or fish options, drinks and dessert included — all very well served and in a relaxed Mood. The good weather helped, but it was the sympathy and dedication of the Ventura team that made this experience memorable. No doubt, an Enterprise I recommend to those who want to know the wonders of the Deserts (and other tour options that the Enterprise has) in a safe, fun and unforgettable way!
Muito obrigado pelas suas palavras tão generosas e detalhadas! 😊 É uma enorme satisfação saber que desde o momento da reserva até ao regresso tudo correu de forma impecável — trabalhamos diariamente para proporcionar exatamente isso: uma experiência segura, divertida e memorável. Ficamos especialmente felizes por saber que desfrutou das atividades, do almoço a bordo e, claro, da sorte de ter avistado golfinhos — momentos assim tornam o dia ainda mais especial! 🐬 Agradecemos a sua recomendação e esperamos voltar a recebê-lo(a) em breve para novas aventuras pelas maravilhas do mar da Madeira. 🌊⛵
The sailing tour was fantastic and relaxing. We were only 5 adventurous and 2 two crew members in total. Almost a private tour. The two Portuguese crew members were very friendly and helpful, just as you wish. We just felt very comfortable, like home. The food was delicious. There was Duck Rice, a Portuguese dish. It was kept in 2 bays. There you could swim and standup paddle. A tour for connoisseurs... Many thanks to the crew members for this wonderful tour. Frank and Monika
Hi Frank and Monika! We loved to have you onboard. We are glad that you enjoyed your tour with us. Hope to see you back soon! Ventura Team.
We had a two days tour to the Desertas islands. The crew was great and we were very well looked after. We managed to see many birds on the way and the crew accooadted to our wish to see the birds while also looking for other wildlife. Diner on the boat was delicious and there was plenty of food.
Thank you so much! 💙 We’re so glad you enjoyed the Desertas trip, from the birds to the delicious dinner. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to see you again soon for more special moments at sea! 🐦⛵🍽️ Ventura Team
Excellent Enterprise of maritime tours, good Mood between colleagues and with customers. I would recommend this Enterprise to anyone Cover. Good boats, good location, excellent conditions.
Olá Margarida, Muito obrigada pela sua avaliação! Esperamos ver-vos a bordo novamente.
Very nice boottrip. Very friendly and proffesional crew. Know about the pelagic birds and marine wildlife. Passionate about nature. Nice boot, good food.
Dear Isabelle, We’re so glad you had a fantastic experience. One of our main goals is to try to make our activity as sustainable as possible, respecting the animals and the environment. Looking forward to welcoming you aboard again!
I chose Ventura to take me to the Ilhas Desertas because I was told they provide a marine biologist on board, and that most bird watchers choose to go with them. I clearly did not read the description of what I booked, and I was pleasantly surprised to see were using a nice 15 m sailing vessel to get to the island! The deck space is laid out well with plenty of space and nice cushions. There is a toilet on board. The crew were great and they quickly made us feel at home in our home for the day. The sail, the swim, the tour on the island were all fab. The only thing I would say is that your time on the island is limited, I tried to book the two day tour, but they did not run it this week, but if you have the time I think the two day trip would be a proper adventure! Lunch was very good, and as a vegetarian I was especially catered for! We saw plenty of birds and cetaceans but the highlight for me were the 40 or so striped dolphins, maybe I should book a whale watching trip next 🤔.
Dear Alette, Thank you for this excelent review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your experience. It was a great adventure indeed! Looking forward to welcome you aboard again! Best regards.
We had a great day! The crossing is very nice on Marco's pretty boat. From the start we were welcomed by the dolphins! We went snorkelling near the desherta islands which are very nice and we saw lots of fish! We had the chance to see a monk seal in the open water very close to the boat! Very nice day! I recommend but do not forget your sunscreen!
Merci pour votre avis. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié votre expérience. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau!
