Meeting point
Funchal Marina, "SeaYou Madeira" kiosk № 1, 9000-055, Funchal. To find our kiosk at Funchal Marina, please cross the road near McDonald’s and take the stairs down to our kiosk. One of our colleagues will meet you there and accompany you to the catamaran.
Description
Discover Madeira from the sea in a fully private setting- the catamaran is exclusively for you, your friends, or family. Your modern catamaran is designed for smooth sailing, stability, and maximum comfort, offering spacious decks to relax, sunbathe, and enjoy uninterrupted panoramic views of the coastline.
Dolphins and whales may be spotted during the tour, although sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Choose a morning cruise to enjoy the tranquil beauty of the sea under soft daylight, or a sunset tour to experience the island bathed in golden light as the sun sets over the Atlantic. On sunset cruises, the captain selects the perfect anchoring spot to capture truly unforgettable golden-hour moments.
We sail along Madeira’s coast, anchoring in secluded bays like Calhau da Lapa or near Cabo Girão, where you can swim, snorkel, or paddleboard.
The cruise includes fresh fruit, snacks, and an open bar.

Cabo Girao
35 min
Cabo Girao in Funchal is known to be the highest seacliff in Europe and the second highest in the world! Rising 580 meters above the Atlantic Ocean, it’s a true must-see on the Madeiran tourist circuit.
With its dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and feeling of untouched nature, this area is also one of the most breathtaking and peaceful places along the coast. We will stop here - or at another hidden gem - for snorkeling, swimming, and paddleboarding in pristine Atlantic waters.
Calhau Da Lapa
15 min
Calhau da Lapa is one of Madeira’s hidden coastal treasures - a serene and scenic gem near the village of Campanario on the island’s south coast. Often described as one of the most beautiful and peaceful swimming spots in Madeira, it’s known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, and unspoiled natural surroundings. We will stop here - or at another hidden gem - for snorkeling, swimming, and paddleboarding.

It was an incredible experience! Celebrate my daughter’s 20th birthday with the collaboration of the entire team that helped in everything I asked for! My daughter had an amazing day with her friends! The team was spectacular, the atmosphere was perfect and it was an unforgettable day! Drinks and snacks included and we could have a DJ on board to help the party! It was all wonderful and I highly recommend!
