5.00This sunset cruise was spectacular and a highlight of our honeymoon trip to Madeira! Manolo and his son were so kind, knowledgeable, and professional. Their love for sailing was evident and contagious. We loved being able to stop and swim and really enjoyed our charcuterie board with wine as we watched the sunset. We could not recommend this trip enough, it’s a trip you’ll forever cherish. Thank you so much Manolo!
great service and totally professional

5.00What a fantastic family sailing experience in Madeira thanks to Captain Manolo and wonderful young assistant Joao. Beautiful scenery, delicious local snacks/drinks and a remarkable sunset to log in for our second Madeira trip. In addition, we all learned a few tips about sailing. Thank you Captain Manolo. We highly recommend this experience to others who would like to up their Madeira experience to another notch!
An exceptional experience!

5.00Manolo and his son who assisted him went to great lengths to give us a truly fabulous experience as part of our wedding anniversary celebrations. There was delicious chilled wine and snacks on board. We chose the sunset cruise and were not disappointed. On request, he let me take the helm for a while and taught me some basics of sailing which i enjoyed. . They were courteous, friendly and very professional. The trip was fabulous and I would strongly recommend it to anyone.
Unforgettable Sunset Sailing Cruise in Madeira with Manolo!

5.00The Sunset Sailing Cruise in Madeira was absolutely unforgettable! Our guide, Manolo, made the experience even more special with his knowledge, warm personality, and passion for sailing. The views of the sunset over the ocean were breathtaking, and the tranquility of the private cruise made it feel so exclusive and relaxing. Manolo ensured everything was perfect, from the smooth sailing to the delightful atmosphere. This was truly the highlight of our trip to Madeira — highly recommend for anyone looking for a magical experience on the water!
Absolutely awesome sunset!!!!

5.00I booked this trip as a birthday present for my husband. And only thanks to the Manolo has it become an unforgettable experience. How helpful, warm and concerned for his guests this person is.... you rarely meet such a person!!!! It had been a dream trip: from the first contact and until our departure from Madeira! The yacht was attractively equipped and offered the four of us plenty of space. The process was coordinated flexibly and according to our wishes. We were offered several activities (e.g. snorkeling, standing paddling). Drinks and delicious snacks should not be missing either! Successful snorkeling with ray watching, breathtaking sunset, beautiful view of night funchal, passing dolphins singing "Happy Birthday" - this will remain in our memories for a long time!!!! Many thanks Manolo!!!!!
A Great Sunset Cruise

5.00We enjoyed a lovely sunset cruise with Sunkiss Sailing. 8 of us were comfortably seated, the sea was relatively calm, but the wind gave us a great sailing experience. Our captain was a great host. Welcome drinks and snacks provided, and a chance for some to use their sailing skills. À fun evening. We even saw dolphins!
Incredible sailing trip

5.00An experience out of 10. The truth is that getting on board a sailboat and being lucky enough to be able to sail with the wind is wonderful. Manolo met us on his boat at the Funchal dock. He explained the safety rules to us and gave us a welcome drink. We spent 5 hours on the boat. As time went by, he brought us typical Spanish appetizers (he is from Spain). Without a doubt we will repeat the experience.
Complete calmness and peace of mind

5.00There could be countless motivations for someone to go on a boating journey. People are diverse, as are their interests. For us - two pairs of friends - the charm lies in finding solitude away from the crowd, rest from the noise, experience the wind, experience the sea. I'm so glad that I discovered Madeira Sunkiss Sailing, that I managed to identify from the description that it wasn't merely another 2-hour-fast-sailing-offer (yes, 2-3 hours is not enough!), that I could distinguish it from the other generic services for the masses. And we had a great time surfing the waves with TRIDENTE's sails up, enjoying the sailing, admiring the views of Madeira and, most importantly, enjoying each other’s company, as if we were good old friends with Manuel and Carlos. Thank you very much and I hope to see you next time! P.s. The absence of a fixed start time isn’t a drawback, but rather a benefit - we were able to negotiate a time that suited us perfectly
Amazing experience on the sailing boat
