Saint Gardens Yachting

Duração: 4h

Four hours to discover what can only be seen from the sea. We leave Calheta and sail along the coast, west towards Ponta do Pargo, or east with the cliffs of Cabo Girão on the horizon. The route is decided on the day, depending on wind and sea conditions.

Stops for swimming where the bottom allows, snorkelling in crystal-clear water, and time to simply be. Snacks and drinks included on board.

For couples, families or small groups who want a real experience, not a tourist boat ride.

Duração: 6h

The full experience. We leave in the early afternoon and explore the coast at a leisurely pace, with stops to swim, snorkel and relax. As the day winds down, we position ourselves to watch the sun disappear into the Atlantic from the open sea.

There is no better place to watch the Madeira sunset than on board Saint Gardens, drink in hand, with an endless horizon ahead.

The Desertas lie 22 miles southeast of Funchal, three uninhabited islands, a protected nature reserve, and the last habitat of the Mediterranean monk seal in the North Atlantic. Few boats make it out here.

We leave early in the morning and sail to the Desertas with time to observe marine wildlife, anchor in crystal-clear water, and experience what it truly means to be away from everything. At night, we sleep on board, anchored in absolute silence, under a sky full of stars, with the sea as our only neighbour.

An experience for four people. Exclusive by nature.

Arriving at Porto Santo by boat is a completely different experience. We leave Calheta early in the morning and sail the 40 miles between the two islands, open Atlantic, trade winds, and the feeling of a real ocean crossing.

We arrive at Porto Santo with the whole day ahead. The 9km golden sand beach, renowned for its therapeutic properties, is the destination, but there's time to explore the island, have dinner ashore, and fall asleep to the sound of the sea.

During the day, Saint Gardens welcomes up to 12 guests on board. For those staying overnight, a maximum of 6 guests sleep on board, the crew stays ashore, ensuring complete privacy. Prefer to sleep on land? Shore accommodation is available on request.

The next morning, one last stretch on the beach before sailing back to Madeira. An adventure that few people do, and nobody forgets. Duration: Minimum 2 nights / 3 days (customisable) | Departure: Calheta Marina | Capacity: up to 12 people during the day / max. 6 sleeping on board (skipper stays ashore) | Shore accommodation: available on request Subject to weather conditions. Advance booking required. Shore accommodation available on request.

One night on board Saint Gardens, moored at a marina on the island. Two days to explore the coast at your own pace, without the rush of a day trip.

On the first day we sail, swim and explore. In the evening, dinner on board or ashore, your choice. In the morning, breakfast with a sea view and another full day ahead.

For those who want something different. For those who really want to stop.
