Overview

Feel the wind in your hair and smell the salty air. Madeira has so much to offer and so do our boat trips. One thing you shouldn’t miss from your holiday is to see Madeira from the Atlantic Ocean. We offer a private boat trip, you will be travelling with your friends and family only, don’t have to make compromises with other travelers. If the weather allows, you can also go for a swim or snorkel in pristine waters. The waters around the island have plenty of fish, turtles, dolphins and whales. We might also encounter them as we are sailing along the coastline, you never know, they can just pop up! Our boat, Scorpio III is a Jeanneau, Sun Odyssey 36i sailing boat, and we decorated her simply, but beautifully. She has 3 cabins, a living room with a kitchen and a bathroom for convenience.
You will discover the real Madeira off-the-beaten-track and learn the stories of the locals and the interesting history of Madeira.
