Private catamaran trips are a relaxed way to enjoy Madeira’s coast with just your own group, with time to swim, snorkel and simply enjoy being on the water.
Sunset charters are available if you would rather head out later in the day and enjoy the evening light from the sea.
If you want more time on board, longer private charters can also be arranged, with more flexibility around the route and stops.
Yacht charters are available for groups looking for a more premium experience, including longer half-day or full-day options.
