This site is dedicated to all the different Madeira boat trips you can do while visiting Madeira. There are a number of differrent ways to go out and see the dolphins and whales.

The most popular madeira boat trip is by Catamaran. Watching dolphins swim right up to you while on this trip is a real pleasurable experience. This Madeira boat trip takes about 3 hours and goes out twice a day, every day. It anchores in front of the highest sea cliff in Europe, Cabo Girão, for a swim and a chance do do some snorkeling. The Catamaran is quiet big, takes up to 70 people, has a covered area and has refreshments and toilets onboard . It also does sunset trips 3 times a week, during the summer.

Another Madeira boat trip that is growing in popularity is the glass bottom boat. It also goes out twice a day for about 2.5 hours for each trip.

 

Here is a good old fassioned boat that will take you out to the desertas islands for the day. A chance to see the worlds rarest seal and to explore this natural park. The trip to the islands lasts 3.5 hours and you get the chance to see dolphins and whales. This is a whole day event and the price includes a meal at lunch time and all drinks. This trip is normally done on Fridays and you can also go out to see dolphins and whales, either in the morning or the afternoon, on any other day of the week.

 

 

One of the most photographed boats or ship, is the Santa Maria, otherwise known as the Pirate Ship, which is the exact replica of Christopher Columbus boat.
