Sailing on a Madeira Catamaran is one of the most popular boat trips on the island, taking clients out to sea to watch dolphins, whales and turtles in their natural habitat.

The meeting point is the “O Solar da Santola” restaurant in the marina in Funchal city centre at 10:00hrs or 14:30hrs after which you depart on the Catamaran from Funchal Marina at 10:30hrs or 15:00hrs. The entire trip will take approximately 3 hours.

Before departure the crew, who speak a variety of languages, will talk about all the interesting sights en route, and a stop will be made halfway through where you can enjoy swimming (typically between April and October).

The Catamaran has 2 small toilets and can offer drinks and snacks from its mini-bar at a cost.
