Perfect day at sea!
6 Hour – Sailing Adventure on August 30, 20266 adults

Overall, we had a fantastic experience! Victoria and Sam, being locals, know all the best places to enjoy the sea around Madeira and were incredibly helpful in sharing information about the island. Their catamaran was spacious and easily accommodated our group of six plus a baby. It was also very well equipped with snorkelling gear, SUP boards, and everything else we needed. We even enjoyed some lovely snacks and drinks along the way. We would definitely go on another trip with them and highly recommend the experience! Thank you for having us and making the day unforgettable!

Fantastic boat and crew!
6 Hour – Sailing Adventure on July 19, 20266 adults

We had an amazing time with Sailing Sensation. The crew took good care for us the whole day and made this trip extra special. Best part was snorkeling outside llhéu da Cevada! The only thing that we missed a little was serving of some soft drinks, beer or wine. But nontheless we had a great time. Thank you!

I first started working in Antigua, in the Caribbean, where my passion for boats and sailing began. Since then, I've gained experience in different destinations, but my favorite place to sail is the Bahamas. What drives me in this business is sharing the beauty of the ocean and creating unforgettable memories for my guests.
