Fun trip - Fun trip with Fabio and Gloria as nice hosts. First a trip along the cost and the Cabo Girao, then stops for swimming and snorkeling. The trip back had pretty good swell, so we got completely wet resp. stayed wet. But that's the weather. Recommended!

Relaxing trip - Booked this trip for a family of 3 as we didn't want a crowded tour boat where we would be figgting for good spaces and shade! Fantastic hosts, great opportunity for snorkeling and paddleboarding in beautiful clear water. Amazing views of the Madeira coastline. Snacks provided! Comfy seats to relax and shade if required.

Fun. Comfortable. Exciting. Lovely Views. - I had organised a bachelorette party on the boat, the company provided a very simple and lovely decoration for the cost of only 20€. Fabio and Diogo made our trip comfortable and fun, ensured we had everything we needed. We had asked them if they had any ice and they made a call to a friend who provided us with ice at Camera De Lobos Bay which we thought was incredible as it is not everyday we find someone that is willing to satisfy all our needs. Overall we had a great time and were extremely happy when the trip was over, we only wished it lasted longer as 3.5hours goes too fast but that might just be us being greedy 😜

Funchal fun! - Fabio and Bernardo were great, providing information about the area as we boated along the coast. Views were magnificent, and the morning sea was calm. Paddle boarding and snorkeling were great fun, water temp was perfect, with fish sightings mostly in the shallows along the shore and at the dock. Seabirds were plentiful and a surprise flying fish launched off our bow wave and glided 50+meters in the breeze.

Brilliant, fun and interesting. - Brilliant! The boat trip was really interesting to see the different coastal landscapes and little villages and hear about their history. So much more than we expected! Great swimming spots for paddle boarding and snorkelling. Lovely skipper and host - Fabio and Kristina. Definitely recommend this.

Wonderful Experience! - We booked a trip on our last day on the island with Fabio and Cristel Sea Madeira. The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. The boat was beautiful and very spacious and comfortable for the 5 of us. Fabio took us to 3 different swimming spots. All of the views were breathtaking and it was incredible to capture the island from the water. Fabio’s assistant was very knowledgeable about the region and shared so much history with us. We offered beer, wine, water and snacks on our excursion as well. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this wonderful experience to anyone looking to relax and enjoy the coastline from the water!

Nice time. - The boat was very nice. The ocean was rough so we had to go east instead of west and were unable to follow the prescribed itinerary but the captain (Fabio) gave us a choice. We did start to go west but because of the ocean and the speed of the boat we decided to turn around and go east. I think the captain may have intentionally gone faster than he should to make it a rougher ride to make us make that decision - which is why I gave four stars. Possible that he needed to go faster to overcome the choppiness so I didn’t rate it lower. Once we turned around, he slowed down and it was a very pleasant experience going east. We stopped at two very beautiful spots and he gave us plenty of time to swim. We even got to see some crabs on an outcropping near the second location we stopped. The ride back was rough and we got sprayed a lot but not much could be done about that. I don’t recall the deck hand’s name but he was very attentive and talkative. We brought some wine and they had glasses which was nice. The deck hand made sure our glasses were never empty. Total of 3 people on the trip. I’d say the boat could comfortably manage maybe 6 people. There was room for more but it would be a little tight in my opinion. All in all a very nice experience. I would recommend.
