“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!”

“Wir haben eine private Bootstour auf Madeira gemacht, begleitet von einem Guide-Team bestehend aus einem Vater mit seinen zwei Söhnen – und es war ein absolutes Highlight unseres Urlaubs. Die drei waren super eingespielt, herzlich und professionell zugleich. Man merkt sofort, dass hier Leidenschaft und Erfahrung zusammenkommen. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die hervorragenden Drinks, das leckere Essen und die frische, perfekt gereifte Ananas – einfach genial. Die Bootsfahrt war sportlich und schnell, aber immer rücksichtsvoll und sicher. Genau die richtige Balance zwischen Action und Entspannung. Es gab 2–3 Möglichkeiten zum Schwimmen – wer wollte, konnte ins Wasser, alles ganz unkompliziert. Auch die Toilette an Bord ist ein echter Pluspunkt. Wir hatten durchgehend Mega-Spaß und haben uns bestens aufgehoben gefühlt. Für uns ist klar: Wenn wir wieder in Madeira sind, kommen wir definitiv wieder!”

“Luigi and his brother and father were wonderful hosts. We had a delightful time, great food and drinks. 100% recommend.”
“Fantastic sunset cruise and crew were lovely. Great snacks and champagne and lots of shared knowledge about the Island. Beautiful music and a spotlessly clean yacht- very luxurious and allowed us to create really special Memories. The chance to swim in the ocean and to see the sunset on Madeira…priceless. All finished off with a souvenir video recorded by drone and edited to music of your choice. Worth every penny! A real must if you are visiting Madeira.”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Une expérience absolument magique, que je recommande les yeux fermés ! Tout était parfait du début à la fin. Les guides français, un père et son fils, étaient extrêmement sympathiques, professionnels et passionnés. Ils nous ont partagé de nombreuses explications tout au long de la sortie dans une ambiance très conviviale, ce qui a rendu l’expérience encore plus agréable. Le coucher de soleil était tout simplement magnifique. Nous avons également pu nous arrêter pour nous baigner, faire du paddle et profiter d’un délicieux apéritif avec boissons incluses. Le plus beau souvenir reste la magnifique vidéo réalisée avec un drone, offerte à la fin de l’excursion. Les images sont superbes et nous permettront de revivre ce moment encore longtemps. Une expérience unique, idéale en famille, entre amis ou en couple. Un immense merci pour cette soirée inoubliable ! 😊”
“Absolutely Worth It. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The whole team was amazing and genuinely made my birthday so special.
