Madeira WaterSports
- On Gorgulho beach
- Hire off the beach
- Parasail over the bay
The base on Praia do Gorgulho, at the Lido end of the Funchal seafront, where you go to get on the water rather than look at it. Jet skis and parasails for people who want the noise, kayaks and paddleboards for people who do not.
About Madeira WaterSports
Madeira has a long coast and very little of it is a beach, so the places you can actually get onto the water from are few and this is one of them. The base sits on Praia do Gorgulho below the Lido promenade and runs the noisy half of the list, jet skis out along the cliffs and parasails off the back of a boat, alongside the quiet half, kayaks and paddleboards you take out yourself. The staff are licensed and the briefing is part of the hire, which on a coast with this much swell is the reason to go with an operator rather than a friend with a board.
