I went for a half day trip. Very nice crew and service. I had some food, beer and wine and we had a swim in a wonderfull clear blue water near Cabo Girão. Definitely an experience to repeat with Luvsailing!

Hands down one of the best sunset tours out there! Family run, supporting local and incredibly personal. An authentic tour that really showcases Madeira's tropical beauty. The team went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time. Food was fantastic and prices were more than fair. In a sea of mass dolphin tours, this is a real hidden gem with a big emphasis on personalised service. Would happily recommend for groups of friends, couples and families with kids. A huge thank you to Tasha, Mike and all the team! We will most certainly be back.

We had a please to take a sailing trip with Luv Sailing along the southern coast of Madeira. It was a wonderful day! It was nice to see the island from the ocean. We learned some things about geology, and heard some stories of sailing from the crew! We made a stop at the foot of the Cabo Girao to go swimming and snorkeling, even swam all the way to the beach. The view from there is just unbelievable! They provided us with floaties, snorkeling gear, towels, and later we had a light lunch and fruit. We would highly recommend LuvSailing! The crew was chill, fun and very professional at the same time! What a wonderful experience we had!

Booked a trip with some friends whilst on holiday in Madeira, and can’t reccomend it highly enough. We saw a totally new side of the island, and it was such a magical experience! The crew were really friendly and very knowledgable of the island and knew all the best spots. Will definitely do this again!

Absolutely amazing experience that the whole family enjoyed!! Michael and Tasha really made our trip to Madeira unforgettable. Madeira is a beautiful island but taking it all in from the boat whilst enjoying drinks and nibbles was the perfect way to experience Madeira. Loved their secret stop off and couldn’t fault the service. Thanks very much guys 🙏 🤩 🥂

"The yacht trip with Tasha and the team was one of the highlights of our Madeira adventure. Racing through the waves, spotting whales, jumping from the boat, and swimming in the bay — it was unforgettable. The delicious lunch was the cherry on top. Thank you for having us!"

A few friends & I spent a perfect afternoon sailing. We have done a few of these types of trips where they take your money & go through the motions but this was superb. Food was terrific, great cheese board, fresh fruits & plenty to drink. We stopped at Cabo Giroa & had a chance to swim in the beautiful sea. Towels were provided, it was all so well done. The crew really made the trip unforgettable, they wanted us to have the best time & we really did. Nothing seemed too much trouble, helped taking pictures etc. Highly recommend, great afternoon!!! Superb service!!!
