Sailing Sensation offers private catamaran charters around Madeira and Porto Santo, departing from Quinta do Lorde Marina in Caniçal. The boat is a 1998 Privilege catamaran, 15 metres long, with 4 double cabins each with an en-suite head — built for multi-day charters. Onboard, guests have a spacious saloon with two dinette areas and a large settee, a cockpit lounge with two tables, twin bow trampolines, and two stern sugar scoops for easy water access.
Every tour includes a dedicated skipper and crew, snorkeling equipment, and a stand-up paddleboard, with routes adjusted for wind, weather, and group preferences. Trips are private — not shared with other groups — and run in small numbers, suiting families, couples, and groups of friends.
