Review of Madeira’s $47 Funchal catamaran cruise, with whale watching, Cabo Girão swimming, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“Great value for money. We were lucky to see a pod of pilot whales, which was amazing. The two hosts were really knowledgeable and good fun. The onboard drinks good value - large red wine and a beer was only 6 euros! Highly recommend.”

“Very helpful, informative guides. We had a great day out, didn't happen to see whales but plenty of dolphins and a beautiful morning out on the water (and a dip in as well) cannot be disappointing EVER. Recommend !”
Sail Lisbon’s Tagus River at sunset on a shared catamaran with wine, landmark views, blankets, and a friendly crew.
“This was an amazing evening! It was so nice being on a new sailing catamaran and not a party boat. Francisco and Bruno kept the Vino flowing and showed us the amazing views of Lisbon. We highly recommend and we are picky!”
Review of Madeira’s Atlantic Pearl catamaran: dolphin watching, swimming, coastal views, onboard facilities, value, and practical booking tips.
“Really special boat and trip. The crew literally seemed to be calling the dolphins to us so we could have this special experience. I booked this boat carefully and it exceeded our expectations. Only a small number of people so loads of room and more special. All the other boats we saw were packed ! So very pleased we chose this one ! Thank you”

“The cruise was beautiful. The captain and staff were very attentive and the wine was delicious and abundant”
Cruise Lisbon’s Tagus River on a private catamaran with a welcome wine, landmark views, optional swimming, and a friendly crew.
“We had the best time on a 2 hour trip with Alfonso and Tomás. It was a beautiful and fun sunset trip for us. We were 11 people onboard which was perfect for the size. Would recommend going on this trip, instead of a huge partyboat. We had a party onboard and could select the music.”
Review of Lisbon’s private 2-hour luxury catamaran tour, with Belém sights, Cristo Rei views, a welcome drink, and practical booking advice.
“Our two hour boat experience was fabulous! I had pre ordered a charcuterie board and drinks and everything was waiting on us as promised and beautifully presented. Pedro and Miquel were fabulous! Pedro was the captain and full of local knowledge and Miquel too care of us making sure our drinks were full and we were comfortable. An amazing experience!”
Pick a sea, then pick a kind of day.
