Why a Private Catamaran Tour Is the Best Way to Explore Madeira Island

16 January 2026

Back to Blog

Madeira Island is one of the Atlantic’s most impressive destinations, known for its dramatic cliffs, volcanic landscapes, and crystal-clear waters. While the island offers incredible experiences on land, there is no better way to truly appreciate its natural beauty than from the ocean — aboard a private catamaran tour in Madeira.

 

With Sailing Sensation, sailing becomes more than a tour. It becomes a peaceful, exclusive experience tailored entirely to you.

 

A Unique Perspective of Madeira from the Sea

 

Sailing along Madeira’s coastline reveals a side of the island that cannot be seen from land. From towering cliffs to hidden bays and untouched natural areas, the view from the sea is simply breathtaking.

 

One of the highlights of private catamaran tours is sailing near Ponta de São Lourenço, a protected natural reserve famous for its rugged volcanic formations and wild scenery. From the water, this area feels even more dramatic and untouched.

 

Why Choose a Private Catamaran Tour?

 

Unlike shared boat tours, a private catamaran is reserved exclusively for you and your group. This means no crowds, no fixed schedules, and no compromises.

 

A private catamaran tour in Madeira offers:

 

Complete privacy and comfort

Flexible itinerary adapted to your preferences

Personalized service from an experienced local crew

More time to relax, swim, or simply enjoy the views

An ideal setting for couples, families, and special occasions

 

Whether you are visiting Madeira as a couple, with family, or with friends, private sailing allows you to experience the island at your own pace.

 

Dolphin and Whale Watching in Madeira

 

Madeira is internationally recognized as one of the best destinations in Europe for dolphin and whale watching. The surrounding Atlantic waters are home to several species throughout the year.

 

During your private catamaran tour, it is common to see dolphins swimming alongside the boat or spot whales in the distance — always respecting marine life and conservation rules. These natural encounters often become one of the most memorable moments of the trip.

 

 

Departure from Quinta do Lorde Marina

 

Sailing Sensation tours usually depart from Quinta do Lorde Marina, located on Madeira’s east coast in Caniçal. This privileged location allows quick access to open sea and scenic coastal routes, maximizing your time sailing and minimizing time inside the harbor.

 

The modern catamaran is designed for comfort and stability, with spacious decks, shaded seating, and sunbathing areas — perfect for relaxing while enjoying Madeira’s coastline.

 

 

An Unforgettable Madeira Experience

 

A private catamaran tour is one of the most exclusive and rewarding activities you can do in Madeira Island. It combines nature, luxury, privacy, and authentic contact with the Atlantic Ocean.

 

If you are looking for a premium experience and want to discover Madeira from its most impressive angle, Sailing Sensation offers the perfect private sailing experience.
