I booked a BBQ trip for my husband’s birthday and we had a great time! The crew was very attentive and kept us well fed throughout. They provided a lot of information regarding the island, and were happy to answer any questions we had. Very easy to get along with! Unfortunately there wasn’t enough wind to sail but we were still able to use the motor and go out on our tour. The water was so refreshing and clear! The boat is so charming and well-kept! I would highly recommend!
Thank you so much, Amber, for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure having you both aboard SPICA and being part of such a special birthday celebration. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the BBQ, the beautiful waters of Madeira, and the time spent with our crew. Unfortunately, the wind doesn’t always cooperate, but we’re very happy that this didn’t stop you from enjoying the experience and exploring our coastline. Thank you for choosing SPICA and for your kind recommendation. We hope to welcome you aboard again one day — and next time, hopefully with the perfect wind for some sailing! ⛵️❤️ The SPICA Charter Yacht Team
