Francisco, Jean and the boat were first class, and we were fortunate to see Bryne wales and various types of dolphins, would definitely repeat and look forward to booking the trip again

I am Francisco, also known as Pimpas. Since childhood, I have been deeply connected to the sea, both through my family and sports. In 2011, I began my professional career aboard mega yachts, a journey that lasted until 2021. In 2021, upon returning to Madeira Island, I decided to make use of the experience I gained abroad, together with my sailboat, to offer tours for tourists and locals. My goal is to provide a specialized service focused on customer satisfaction, never forgetting comfort. Who knows Madeira Island better than the Madeirenses themselves, right? Francisco, our captain, is here to guide you and showcase the beauty of Madeira in the best possible way.
