Great experience
Fantastic excursion. The catamaran was beautiful, worth paying the extra 5 euros per person for less people and some cushions on the seats. We lots lots of dolphins, got really close but respectful. The staff were great and the bar services were a nice touch and reasonably prices. Totally worth it. We didnt see any whales, but maybe another time.

The first whale and dolphin trip I’ve been on that actually saw whales and dolphins. The boat is very spacious with 360 degree views from both decks. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly.We saw a Cuvier beaked whale, pod of pilot whales and large pod of bottled nose dolphins.Would highly recommend

Catamaran Sunset Cruise from Funchal by VMT Madeira

Dolphin fest and a great sun set
Great sunset cruise. You board by the VMT office. It says boat leaves at 6:30pm but you can get on from 6:10pm. Our boat was only half full so very good. Light and airy on top … was a lot of people who wanted to put their towels on the boom nets and sit on them at the front. Saw LOADS of dolphins then a quick swim stop before seeing the sunset and heading back. Good value bar with a beer for three euros and clean loos to get changed in before and after swimming. Got back at 9:20. Think they could have started the swimming a little earlier as it was nearly sunset time and maybe sped up a bit on the way home as sunset by 8:30. Other than that really good. Great crew : safe, friendly and informative.

We got to see dolphins and whales. The trip was amazing. The crew were lovely and helpful, and the ride lasted 3 hours, without feeling rushed - we took the morning trip, and the sea was calm. We absolutely recommend it

What a great experience! We were lucky to see a very large group of dolphins. There are about 30 people on this catamaran. Enough space for everyone. Better than those other unloaded boats I have seen.

Catamaran Day Cruise to Desertas Islands from Funchal
MariaAna_S, Aug 2026
The catamaran is very good 🤩
It stays in my memory because of the experience of visiting (practically) uninhabited islands. During the crossing there is an area of some turbulence. The crew is very helpful. The meal is good.

Catamaran Day Cruise to Desertas Islands from Funchal
Claudia G, Jun 2026
Fantastic day trip
A wonderful day to the island of Desertas. Helpfully we were taken to land with a small boat. We were also kindly helped when we got off. Upon returning to the boat, a delicious lunch was ready. Meat, fish salad rice, bread and for dessert fresh fruit. On the way back to Funchal we were lucky to encounter a large group of dolphins and even small whales. That was a real present for us. The crew also took timber from the Ocean along the way. We look back on a fantastic day together

Fantastic time with both the tour and the boat cruise. Such a beautiful island and this Bus tour was very Informative with a clear speaking English and French for the wife narrative. The Boat cruise was the highlight of our Holiday, we saw beautiful dolphins and the crew were awesome, infact we didn't see anything on our first sailing which was a blessing as we got a second cruise free.

The real Madeira
Camacho gave us a tour of the real Madeira, taking us from the highest cliff on the island to a vineyard in the centre, with some off roading in the 4x4 for good measure. We heard stories of the island and tried some of the local delicacies when we stopped off at a local bar. If you want to understand the island and its history, look no further. Fully recommend!
