Câmara de Lobos, the drone up at Cabo Girão, then swimming and paddle at Fajã dos Padres. The 3h runs on to Ponta do Sol with a filmed video. Slots 10–13 and 14–17.
The same coast at 18:30, cruising rather than swimming — drinks and food on deck, the drone over Cabo Girão, and an open-throttle run back into a lit-up Funchal.
The whole boat, never shared — no waiting for other guests, no fixed script. One flat price whether you're two or five, often better value than shared tickets once you're two or more.
Every trip includes a licensed skipper, drinks and food on board, and drone footage of your day at sea. Free cancellation — see full terms.
The Day Trip runs late morning or afternoon (10:00 or 14:00), includes swimming and paddle at Fajã dos Padres, and costs €500–€600. The Sunset Trip departs 18:30, is a cruising trip with no swimming — the water's too cold by evening — and costs €400–€500. Same boat, same coast, same skippers, just a different time of day.
Choose the Day Trip to swim, jump in and paddle board. Choose the Sunset Trip for golden-hour light, drinks on deck and a quieter pace. Both cover the same stretch of coast toward Cabo Girão.
For most groups, yes. You get the whole boat — no waiting for other guests, no fixed script, and the route can flex around what your group wants to see. The price is a flat rate for the boat, not per person, so it's often the same or better value than shared tickets once you're two or more.
Yes — message the skipper directly with your group size, dates and what you'd love to see (dolphins, coves, cliffs, sunset) and Chifbay will shape a private route around it.
As early as you can, especially in high season — one boat means limited slots each day. Live availability is on the booking calendar for both trips.
Tell us your group, your dates and what you'd love to see — dolphins, coves, cliffs, sunset — and we'll shape the perfect private route from Funchal Marina.
