Madeira Private Sunset Boat Tour from Funchal
By Madeira with Linda · listed in boat trips and sunset cruises from Funchal
I'd consider this for a private sunset sail with commentary about the coast. Your party has the boat to itself. Snacks and drinks are included.
Scorpio III is a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 36i. The sailing boat has three cabins and a living room with a kitchen. There is a toilet on board. You pass Cabo Girão and Câmara de Lobos. The route also takes in the Lido waterfront.
The meeting time changes with sunset. The crew sends directions and the time on the afternoon before your trip. Your booking needs approval from the crew. Read the fitness and boarding conditions before choosing it.
