This was one of the best trips. The professional and eco friendly staff were well worthy their weight in gold. The captain was caring. We saw dolphins and a baby. When we went swimming, we saw a Portuguese man o war, never thought I would see one in my life. When I booked, Rosa , the rockstar coordinator, made sure everything was smooth and definitely was knowledgeable. When I come back with my family, I will see them again and again.Amy

We were very happy with the trip. Everyone was fantastic from check-in to getting back to the dock. We learned so much about the island and its history... The kind of details that are crucial to understanding a place in a rich and interesting way—not just what the guidebooks say. This is why we booked a private boat! So we could learn all of these fantastic nuances about the island, and its inhabitants when it was a pirate boat stopover... All of the great things the skipper had to offer! all wonderful. Thank you so much for the memorable experience. We will never forget it and when we come back to Maderia we will go out with you again!!!mvllerlorena
