Where the ocean meets
experience
Find your perfect
experience
Madeira was born from the sea, and the sea still defines its rhythm, beauty, and life. At DMC Madeira, we design ocean experiences that blend luxury, authenticity, and nature, offering guests a privileged perspective of the island's dramatic coastline and infinite horizon.
From private yacht charters to dolphin and whale watching, our programs transform every voyage into a story of elegance, freedom, and connection with the Atlantic.
"To see Madeira from the sea is to understand its soul."
Private yacht charters & luxury sailing
Tailor-made cruises for every occasion
Our private yacht Madeira experiences combine premium vessels, professional crews, and flexible itineraries. Whether it's a half-day sail along Funchal's coast, a full-day journey to Porto Moniz, or an exclusive sunset dinner on board, every moment is curated with precision and style.
Guests can enjoy champagne on deck, gourmet catering, live music. All yachts are selected for comfort, safety, and discretion, ideal for families, corporate groups, or honeymooners.
Sunset sails & romantic evenings
Madeira's sunsets are legendary. We offer private sunset boat tours with soft music, local sparkling wine, and ocean views that turn golden as night falls over Cabo Girão.
Perfect for small groups or special celebrations, each experience is a reminder that simplicity, done well, is the ultimate luxury.
Dolphin & whale watching – ethical encounters
Respectful observation, real connection
The Atlantic waters around Madeira are home to over 25 species of dolphins and whales. Our marine experiences are led by marine biologists and certified captains who prioritize respect and safety for both guests and wildlife.
Guests can spot bottlenose dolphins, pilot whales, and sometimes sperm whales, always keeping a safe distance and following strict sustainability guidelines. No chasing, no feeding, only quiet admiration and learning.
Education at sea
We include educational briefings before each trip, turning every excursion into a meaningful experience.
For families and schools, we offer interactive programs focused on marine ecology and conservation.
Active adventures on the Atlantic
Sea kayaking, snorkeling & SUP
For those seeking movement, we organize guided kayaking and snorkeling tours along Madeira's volcanic cliffs and natural coves. Crystal-clear waters reveal fish, coral, and rock formations that showcase the island's geological origins.
Diving & underwater exploration
Certified divers can explore Garajau Marine Reserve, one of Europe's most vibrant protected marine areas. We partner with the island's best dive centers to ensure safety, quality equipment, and responsible practice.
Big game fishing & sea sports
For fishing enthusiasts, Madeira is world-renowned for big game fishing, particularly for blue marlin. Our charters combine adventure with discretion, offering fully equipped vessels, expert crews, and catch-and-release ethics.
Porto Santo & beyond
The golden island escape
Only 3 hours by ferry or 15 minutes by plane, Porto Santo is Madeira's peaceful twin—known for its golden sand and turquoise water.
We create full-day or overnight itineraries combining yacht travel, golf, and wellness by the beach.
Desertas & selvagens islands
For the most adventurous travelers, our private expeditions to the Desertas and Selvagens Islands offer rare access to UNESCO protected ecosystems. These uninhabited islands are havens for monk seals, rare birds, and untouched nature.
Ideal for photographers, scientists, or guests who seek solitude and raw beauty.
