Overview
Have you ever imagined traveling back in time aboard a boat full of stories?
Step aboard a Xavelha, the traditional wooden fishing boat of Câmara de Lobos, and depart from Funchal on an authentic 2-hour journey along Madeira’s stunning south coast. Your route leads toward the majestic Cabo Girão, one of the highest sea cliffs in the world, and the enchanting Fajã dos Padres, a hidden seaside haven renowned for its lush vineyards, fertile terraces, and dramatic natural scenery.
This experience is more than a boat trip, it’s a true immersion into Madeiran culture and heritage.
As you sail, you’ll hear captivating stories, legends, and curiosities that bring to life the traditions, craftsmanship, and fishing communities that shaped these iconic vessels.
From the sea, admire breathtaking perspectives of Madeira’s coastline, sweeping bays, towering cliffs, and vibrant green slopes that can only be fully appreciated from the water.
Weather and sea conditions permitting, you’ll also enjoy a refreshing swim stop in the crystal-clear Atlantic.
On board an authentic Xavelha, you’re not just visiting Madeira, you’re experiencing its soul, connecting with its roots, and creating memories that will stay with you long after the journey ends.
