Overview

Since 2001, we've been cruising the waters of Madeira and Porto Santo in all sorts of nifty vessels, from dinghies to windsurfing boards and catamarans. But now, we've set sail on a new adventure - sharing our love for the Sea, Sun, Wind, and the wonders of Madeira with fellow sea enthusiasts. Embark on this salty escapade with us!

Slow living, meet slow sailing! We're all about taking life easy-breezy and what better way to do that than with a serene sea voyage? Forget about the destination, it's all about the journey, baby!
Relax! You are here to disconnect. Let's take all the time in the world and immerse ourselves in Madeira’s pristine waters.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Half Day Sailing Experience in Madeira´s South Coast?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
