Perched on the southern coast of Madeira, Funchal offers a gateway to dramatic Atlantic vistas and rugged geological wonders. OurMadeira invites travelers to step aboard a private yacht from Funchal's Marina for a 2-hour sunset tour that captivates with more than just scenic beauty. This experience reveals the towering grandeur of Cabo Girão, Europe’s highest sea cliff, as the sun dips behind it, painting rich hues across the horizon. Unlike crowded catamarans, this private journey cultivates a calm, intimate atmosphere where guests can savor the moment from the water’s edge.
Guests recline on the yacht’s deck, accompanied by gourmet meals curated by a private chef. The food complements the monumental natural setting, blending regional Madeira flavors with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The waters around Funchal reflect the fading light, and the cliffs’ sheer basalt walls rise sharply, offering a rare perspective of this geological marvel. The tour’s timing captures the region’s famed golden hour, where light and landscape merge into a vivid spectacle.
OurMadeira’s private sunset tour stands out as a premium offering for those seeking both relaxation and an active connection to Madeira’s coastal environment. The company draws on local maritime expertise to ensure a smooth, knowledgeable journey through the bay. Funchal itself is an adventure hub framed by steep slopes, historic harbors, and botanical diversity, making this yacht tour a perfect extension for visitors wanting to engage with Madeira’s natural beauty from a unique vantage point.
For outdoor enthusiasts, this tour provides a serene complement to land-based hikes and levada walks inland, combining oceanic quiet with unmatched visual drama. It’s a rare chance to toast the sunset in style after a day of exploring Madeira’s verdant landscapes.
