Ponta de São Lourenço is one of Madeira Island’s most iconic and unspoiled natural areas. Located at the eastern tip of the island, this protected peninsula is famous for its raw volcanic landscape, sharp cliffs, and contrasting colors that change throughout the day.

While many visitors explore the area on foot, discovering Ponta de São Lourenço by private catamaran offers a completely different and far more exclusive perspective.

A Landscape Shaped by Nature

Sailing along the east coast reveals towering rock formations, deep blue Atlantic waters, and dramatic contrasts between land and sea. The volcanic origins of Madeira are especially visible here, making this route one of the most visually striking on the island.

From the ocean, you’ll admire the full scale of Ponta de São Lourenço, free from crowds and hiking trails. The silence, broken only by the sound of the sea, creates a peaceful and immersive experience.

Crystal-Clear Waters and Swimming Stops

One of the highlights of sailing to Ponta de São Lourenço is the opportunity to swim in calm, transparent waters along the coastline. These areas are often sheltered and far less crowded than beaches on land.

Depending on sea and weather conditions, your skipper may stop in a quiet bay, allowing you to swim, snorkel, or simply relax onboard while surrounded by nature.

Dolphin and Marine Life Encounters

The waters off Madeira’s east coast are home to a wide variety of marine life. During your private catamaran tour, it is common to encounter dolphins swimming alongside the boat.

These encounters are always respectful and follow marine conservation guidelines, ensuring wildlife remains undisturbed while you enjoy an unforgettable moment at sea.
