Excellent guests! We would love having them back!

It was great, and please find the review from my wife:

Today is a special day for us.
And this is a very special gift from my husband for our 40th wedding anniversary — to see the southern coast of Madeira from a sailing yacht. For this occasion, we chose the yacht Spica.

Friendly Captain Gabriel and his assistant greeted us at the pier and introduced us to their vessel — a beautiful retro yacht that was clearly well-loved. :)

Comfortably settled on the deck near the captain, it was fascinating to listen to him talk about sailing and to see everything happen in real time. How wonderful it is to ask questions and receive answers, discovering something completely new.

There was a joyful thrill as we left the harbor, and pure delight as the yacht began gliding through open water. The sensation was incredible — the way the boat responds to each turn of the wheel.

All around was the stunning beauty of this unique place: on one side, the vastness of the sea with a barely visible horizon line — it truly brings the expression “the edge of the world” to life. 😉
On the other side — cliffs, first a large and beautiful city, and then clusters of small houses like swallows’ nests perched on the mountain slopes or at the very base of majestic rocks right at the water’s edge.

Lush greenery, colorful cliffs, waterfalls, a cable car, houses that seem to have climbed impossible heights, and the thin threads of roads — everything looks completely different from the open sea than it does from land.

Madeira from the sea, with its ever-changing views, is absolutely breathtaking.

After a swim in a cozy bay that the captain picked out for us — accompanied by flying fish! — we headed toward the sunset. Near the western tip of the island, the yacht touched a light swell, gently buffered by the island’s shelter. The captain turned the boat around, and we began our journey back, once again savoring the motion and watching the sun wrap itself in a blanket of clouds.

Then came a barbecue with delicious fish and a surprise — an amazing homemade cake from Captain Gabriel’s mother. A heartfelt bow of thanks to the captain and his mother! :)

And finally, we returned under the stars, quietly gliding into the sleeping harbor.

A warm farewell to the captain and his assistant.
Our sincere thanks for this beautiful introduction to Madeira from the sea on such a special day! Thank you. :)

We are super grateful, the reservation with David was fast and he was a very cordial person, 🙏🙏

We were accompanied by Bryan and Megan and they were both so sweet and made our 2 hours fun and comfortable! Really great with communication, and would definitely book again! Thank you all so much! :)
