Well worth going on this boat. - Had a great trip, also saw some dolphins. The crew were great. Would highly recommend. When we stopped for a swim we had some local cake and Madeira wine which was very nice.

Great shipping! - It was really great, we saw dolphins, swam in the ocean in front of the mountains, got a liqueur with a piece of cake and something was told about the history of the ship.

We loved the experience - Amazing experience My family and kids enjoyed a lot Friendly , helpful staff they make you feel at home I don't regret a single penny for that experience definitely I will be back to go on that experience again I did loved that. Thank you soo much to the company Nau Santa Maria for keeping our history up and the amazing experience. Thank you soo much

Outstanding experience! - This was the best excursion I've ever done any where. It was the highlight of my holiday in Madeira and restored my soul completely. Thank you to the amazing sailors and their hospitality. It was excellent value for money just wish it had lasted longer!! And yes I even saw the dolphins!!! 🙏 ❤️

Thank you so much to my... - Thank you very much to my wife and me for your sincerity. You were seen absolutely beautiful. We saw dolphins, we swam and your crew was amazing. Thank you very much, we will be back soon.

A wonderful trip up and down the coast. - A wonderful trip up and down the coast in a traditional wooden ship. We wanted something different from the “run of the mill” catamaran trip. We were not disappointed. It was great to look round the ship that could have been built back in the 1400’s. It had a bar for drinks and a good pair of toilets. The crew were friendly and helpful .. the captain on the constant lookout for dolphins. He quickly found a large pod of them allowing us to take many photos. We stopped off for a quick swim … the various kids and brave adults jumping in from the higher part of the ship. The crew jumping in making a big splash, getting the non swimmers on deck wet too. All taken in good spirits. The cake and wine after was a pleasant surprise. Would have been great to see the sails in action but all in all a great trip.

TOP - Much sympathy and efficiency from the entire team aboard. Thank you for the dolphin observation we were able to do. Top the stop for a diving.

An absolute must when visiting Madeira. A unique and impressive experience. - The boat is a detailed replica of the original. Quaint, the wood creaks, the crew is friendly and funny. With any luck, you can see dolphins. A nice swim stop is always planned. You bathe beautifully there. It's a great experience!!

Fantastic Pirate Ship Vibes - The crew were very friendly and helpful. The ship was fun and seemed quite authentic. We saw some whales and had a nice swim in the ocean. We were given some Madeira wine and some honey cake after the swim. It was a lovely afternoon all round.

Perfect family outing - Very pleasant outing with a crew with little care (personalized explanations, refreshments and cake tasting, rewards for children)! With, as an added bonus, swimming time for volunteers and dolphins right next to the boat!
