A lovely trip out - It was good value for money, a lovely trip out, but the catamaran used was no where near as nice as the one we previously booked with Viator when we booked in January 2023

Very relaxing! - A great overall experience, being both very relaxing and fun. We had stopped halfway through to swim for 20minutes. This was very refreshing and allowed for more time to take in the scenery. Very much a couples experience but a group of friends would also enjoy!

Fabulous experience - Lovely knowledgeable and funny crew - we were so lucky to be guided towards a family of pilot whales. We also saw flying fish but it would have been fabulous without any sightings. Fabulous swim in crystal clear, warm water before heading back close to the shoreline and a look over the beautiful camara de lobos. A real highlight of our stay.

King and Queen of the sea. - Surprise for my wife.
I booked the whole boat for the two of us and never regretted it.
Easy to find in the marina.
Captain and crew member treated us great and with all their hearts.
Treat as King and Queen.
Drinks and snacks on board.
We saw whales and went snorkelling close to shore.
Absolutely worth the trip.

Great boat trip out of Funchal - This was a really nice trip out from Funchal into the whale watching zone (based on the other boats there) and then back along towards the sea cliff. It's a smaller boat, which felt more comfortable, and the crew were friendly. We also liked the opportunity for a swim in the sea. I'd understood that we'd get to see the tall sea cliff but that was only at a distance, perhaps because we'd managed to see some whales and that had taken some of the time? Overall, I can recommend this trip.

Great boat for some peace - Nice boat trip with lots of space to move around and get some peace. There wasn’t a lot of commentary and the swim time didn’t happen when the collective group decided to try to spend the 15mins looking for dolphins (which sadly we didn’t see). Would recommend for couple and family groups who were like looking for a calmer boat experience than the larger options

Lovely way to spend time - Loved the boat. The crew was very friendly and professional. Unfortunately we didn't see any wildlife.
Courtesy drinks on board were nice and cold. I would recommend this trip but maybe in the morning, so you could see some dolphins.

Fun boat ride and sim! - Didn’t see any sea life but the boat was very nice and not too crowded. We got a glass of wine or beer and went to a secluded part of the island to swim for about 20 minutes. Overall very fun and relaxing.
