Highlights

VMT Madeira - We are in Funchal and we look towards the twilight. Do you know what we see? Absolutely nothing! No buildings, towers or bridges. Only nature, an endless ocean, a constant line that balances days and nights and with the 3 Desert Islands there in the background, a little to the left.

Board with us on a dream journey, a romantic wave, where besides sighting dolphins and/or whales, it is possible to swim in the warm waters accompanied by the sunset. We sail out for 3 hours so that you can partake in this unique spectacle of colour that changes every day and reflects in the passive ocean of our coast.

Amazing tour!! - Amazing tour!! The sea.. 3 hours navigating with one incredible sunset, the cliffs of the island and the dance of the dolphins in the water. The crew was fantastic!

Very enjoyable - Definitely worthwhile! Beautiful scenery and weather, including a fabulous sunset - and it was great to see dolphins close up. Beforehand, I was wondering whether 3 hours was too long, but it turned out to be perfect - the time passed almost too fast. The only (very minor) downside was that check-in seemed to be an unnecessarily long time before departure.

Beautiful and worthwhile boat tour - Wonderful Boat Ride. We saw so many features of the island, while heading to and from our sunset location. It wasn't crowded, which allowed anyone and everyone a great view of the sunset. Would book with this company again.

Beautiful and not too crowded - Plenty of space on this boat, with drinks and snacks available. Got to see the sunset multiple times because of how they moved the boat. Chilly but fun opportunity to swim in the ocean. Didn't see any sea creatures, which means we could have gone again if we wanted.

Sunset cruise - Great music, excellent captain, beautiful sunset, we’ll organized- really enjoyed it. Did not realize you could swim off the boat- would have brought my swimsuit. Cool on way back- bring a light jacket.

It's a very pleasant 3 hours - The view is incredible and the crew is very friendly. Unfortunately I didn't manage to see dolphins but the company offers a second trip if that happens, which is very positive.

Beautiful coast and sunset - Well worth the price for a three hour sail! Seeing dolphins and whales is unpredictable and we didn’t happen to see any, but go for the beauty! The sunset and the view of Madeira! Highly recommend. Staff was friendly. Onboard drinks yummy.
