If you want to feel like a literal pirate, you have to book a sail on this exact replica of Christopher Columbus's historic flagship! 🏴‍☠️ It departs right from the Funchal Marina and takes you out along the southern coast to spot dolphins and whales.

• Paid experience (approx. €35–€40 per adult). You 100% need to book this online a few days in advance, especially during high season. Bring a windbreaker because the ocean breeze gets chilly, and grab some sea sickness tablets if you're prone to a bumpy ride! 🌊

• 🚌 Bus Info: Right in Funchal Marina, so any urban Horários do Funchal (HF) bus going to the center or Avenida do Mar gets you there.

• 2026 Updated Ticket Prices:

• Insider Tip for Families: If you are traveling with toddlers or young kids, this is a massive winner. Children are completely captivated by the "real pirate" crew, the open wooden decks, and the chance to spot dolphins from a giant wooden ship. It features onboard restrooms and a bar for refreshments, making it a very comfortable, hassle-free morning or afternoon out on the water.
