Private Sailing Cruise Along the Coastline of Madeira Island
Seven hours of open water, hidden coastlines, and authentic island life.
Full Day Private Sailing Cruise Madeira takes you along one of the Atlantic's most spectacular shorelines, where volcanic cliffs meet crystal-clear waters and secluded bays invite you to slow down. This private experience is designed for those who want quality time at sea without the distractions of a large group.
The journey follows the southern coast of Madeira, passing through areas that reveal the island's geological drama and marine biodiversity. Your expert crew manages navigation throughout, leaving you free to take in the scenery, dip into the ocean, or simply relax on deck.
Beyond the water, the itinerary includes a stop near Garajau Point, where a coastal pathway offers a different perspective of the cliffs and shoreline. A visit to an organic mango and grape plantation adds a genuine local dimension to the day.
Onboard dining brings freshly prepared food into the experience, with the option to eat ashore at a well-regarded local restaurant. The combination of sailing, swimming, snorkeling, and paddling means the day covers a range of activities at a pace that suits your group.
