Adventure Tips
Bring Sunscreen and Protective Clothing
Madeira’s sun can be intense on the open water—apply reef-safe sunscreen and wear a hat or light shirt to stay protected.
Wear Non-Slip Footwear
The yacht’s deck can be wet; comfortable, grip-enhanced shoes will help keep you steady.
Stay Hydrated
Even on cooler days, being out at sea can dehydrate you quickly—bring water or ask the crew for refreshments.
Follow the Crew’s Safety Instructions
Always listen to the skipper and stewardess for safe boarding, paddleboard use, and swimming stops.
