Bonita da Madeira is a traditional wooden caravel offering small-group boat trips from Funchal along Madeira’s coastline. Built in 1996, the vessel provides a more intimate alternative to larger catamarans, with limited passenger numbers and a relaxed sailing atmosphere. Trips focus on wildlife spotting, including dolphins and whales, as well as scenic coastal routes around areas like Ponta de São Lourenço and the Desertas Islands. Selected excursions also include swim stops in the clear Atlantic waters.
