Sunset Cruise with Dinner on Board
By Living sea · listed in boat trips and sunset cruises from Funchal
If you'd like dinner at sea, this is my sunset pick. It is the only sunset trip in this collection with dinner included. Hotel transport is included too.
You cruise along the south coast with commentary about the places you pass. At Calhau da Lapa, you can swim or snorkel with the gear provided. There is a small shower for rinsing off afterwards.
Dinner is a buffet on board. Drinks are unlimited, including alcoholic drinks and soft drinks. I'd compare the catamarans if you plan to eat ashore. Arrange your pickup before travelling. You can also meet the boat at Estrada da Pontinha.

From the operator
In Living sea's own words, from the Viator listing.
Enjoy an all-inclusive sunset boat trip with hotel pickup and drop-off. Relax in a comfortable spot in the sun or shade as you cruise along, with unlimited drinks and stunning views of the coastline bathed in the golden light of the late afternoon. As you sail near the coast, listen to onboard commentary about local landmarks, fascinating facts, and interesting information about the region.
Stop at the beautiful Calhau da Lapa, a scenic spot ideal for swimming and snorkeling, surrounded by impressive cliffs and natural landscapes. Explore the underwater world with the mask and snorkel provided before taking a dip. Afterwards, rinse off the salt water in the small onboard shower before relaxing on deck as the sun sets on the horizon.
Enjoy included drinks and a laid-back atmosphere while taking in the sunset over the sea.
Spend your late afternoon swimming, snorkeling, drinking, and relaxing on the water before returning comfortably to your hotel.
