“Fantastic sunset tour. A family-run business with heart. You feel very welcome. The boat is in excellent condition, very new and spotlessly clean. Highly recommended.”

“We had a wonderful trip with friendly team and bright impressions. The boat is brand new. You can play your favorite music via Bluetooth.”

“Brilliant experience from start to finish yesterday. Excellent communication, superb views of the island, food, drinks and swimming. A really lovely family business that I would highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.”

“Amazing! Highly recommended, super helpful team. 🙌 …”

“The boat is brand new and absolutely immaculate — not a detail missed anywhere. The snacks were genuinely delicious, the wine was cold, and everything felt thought through rather than thrown together. What set it apart, though, was the family running it. Watching the father-and-son dynamic play out on the water was honestly heartwarming. You can feel their values in how they treat you — warm, generous, proud of their island and eager to share it. They talked us through the landscape and the history of the coastline as we went, and because the tour is intimate, it never felt like being herded around on a booze cruise. The drone footage they captured was incredible and gave us the most beautiful photo we took during our entire stay. Madeira is full of dramatic, over-the-top, adrenaline-fueled activities. This quiet sunset on the water beat all of them. Service was impeccable. Cannot recommend it highly enough.”

“Amazing top to bottom. Crazy views. Great views.”

“A huge thank you to your team! We had a wonderful time on the boat. We were welcomed in French and discovered some amazing places. We appreciated the selection of snacks and drinks available. I highly recommend this activity!”

“Brand new boat - family run - great food and fun”

“Unbelievable experience 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Hands down the best part of our trip to Portugal. The boat, the staff, the service of the family business all was well worth it. Book with them NOW!”

“Such a fun activity to do when you’re on vacation here. The guys on the boat are very friendly and helpful. This boat trip is a perfect way to relax and have fun in and around the ocean. I would really recommend to book this”

“We chose this sunset boat tour for a very special occasion, as it's where we got engaged. It will definitely remain the highlight of our trip. The boat is beautiful, comfortable, and very well maintained. Our hosts were welcoming, attentive, and truly helped make the experience even more special. They even captured the moment with a drone video, which is such a wonderful keepsake for us. Drinks and a snacks were included, and the guacamole was especially delicious! We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to enjoy a beautiful sunset in a peaceful and elegant setting. Thank you again for helping make this moment so memorable.”

“Amazing boat trip! We had such a great time together and the whole experience was perfect. A special shoutout to our skipper, Paco, who was incredibly friendly, professional, and made the trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!”

“We had the perfect night with Chifbay! We booked a private sunset cruise. The crew was perfectly on time. The boat was very clean and cared for. The crew was knowledgeable and engaging but not annoying. The food on board was delicious and fresh and they kept the drinks flowing to our liking. I would highly recommend this experience if you want a relaxed and beautiful way to spend an evening in Madeira.”

“What a wonderful day! We opted for the three hour trip which was very reasonably priced. Luigi and family (including Dad who made the best Guacamole ever - secret ingredient honey!) were so friendly and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. We saw some sights, swam in the sea with the SUP board and snorkels, had a lovely lunch and as many drinks as we wanted. The boat itself was pristine - the best boat for this price I have been on. We ended the day at the front of the boat whilst the driver drove us very fast - the kids loved it! Thanks ever so much I would highly recommend but book directly if you can as if you book via a site, they take an exorbitant amount of money. Thanks again! Rebecca and family!”

“I had a fantastic day at sea on this boat. I wanted to mention that it was very comfortable and spacious enough for several people; we truly had a wonderful time. I also want to thank the crew, Paco and Hugo, who were our guides. They were incredibly friendly and attentive to their clients; it was a truly unforgettable experience. Furthermore, if you're lucky, you might spot flying fish, which was also very cool to see on the water. I highly recommend this experience with them. Having checked several websites, I can say they are very competitive in terms of value for money; I found them really affordable!”

“An experience to repeat, it was fantastic, without a doubt I recommend it for a pleasant, relaxed moment in the best company.”

“Excellent boat trip! The crew was very friendly and professional, the boat was comfortable, and the experience was very enjoyable. I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a good time at sea.”

“Wonderful. It was unforgettable! Very friendly and attentive staff. I recommend it!”

“We took a private boat tour in Madeira, accompanied by a guide team consisting of a father and his two sons – and it was an absolute highlight of our vacation. The three of them worked together seamlessly, warmly, and professionally. You could immediately tell that their passion and experience combined. The excellent drinks, delicious food, and fresh, perfectly ripe pineapple were particularly noteworthy – simply fantastic. The boat trip was sporty and fast, but always considerate and safe. It struck the perfect balance between action and relaxation. There were two or three opportunities to swim – anyone who wanted to could go in the water; it was all very straightforward. The onboard toilet was also a real plus. We had a blast the whole time and felt completely at ease. We're certain of one thing: if we're ever back in Madeira, we'll definitely be back!”

“Fantastic 3 hour trip with Chifbay! Immaculate boat, amazing service & one of the best guacamoles i’ve tasted made fresh on board by our skipper! Nothing was too much trouble and my mother, son and husband all enjoyed our trip! We had flexibility on swimming for as long or as little as we wanted. Use of a paddleboard and even drone footage provided! A superb professional well organised experienced. Highly recommend!”

“A spectacular experience along the island's coast. Very attentive and helpful staff. There was never a shortage of drinks and good cheer. I highly recommend this boat trip.”

“We had an unforgettable and absolutely amazing time! The crew were incredibly kind and attentive, and we even got to take the helm for a while. An absolute must when visiting Madeira!”

“Sunset boat tour with Chifbay and it was one of the best things we did in Madeira. My wife and I loved every minute. Paco and Hugo took care of us the whole time, super friendly and clearly know what they’re doing. Food was really good too, wasn’t expecting that on a boat. And the view of the island as the sun went down was incredible. 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Funchal”

“Sometimes we forget how lucky we are. This tour was a great way to disconnect, appreciate the Madeira coast and enjoy a spectacular sunset. It's worth it. The crew was very friendly and contributed to making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I recommend it.”

“We had a fantastic time with Hugo and Paco. They were incredibly helpful and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience, from swimming and sunset to drone video and a delicious aperitif. Thanks again, we highly recommend them!”
