Sunset Catamaran Tour — Madeira Island

Sail the Atlantic at golden hour from Funchal to Camara de Lobos


The Sunset Catamaran Tour Madeira offers a genuine evening on the Atlantic, combining coastal scenery, wildlife sightings, and a swim in clear Madeiran waters before the sky turns gold.

Departing from Marina Nova do Funchal, the catamaran heads west along the southern coast toward Camara de Lobos, one of the most dramatic fishing villages on the island. The route passes beneath towering cliffs and open ocean stretches where cetaceans are regularly spotted.

A scheduled stop allows guests to enter the water directly from the vessel, with the rugged coastline as a backdrop. The catamaran format keeps the atmosphere relaxed and private, making it well suited for couples, small groups, and anyone looking for a quieter alternative to larger boat excursions.

The return journey coincides with sunset, giving passengers an unobstructed view of the horizon from out at sea, a perspective that is simply not available from the shore.
