I absolutely recommend Cristal Sea to anyone looking for an amazing private boat trip experience. The team was so accommodating, professional, friendly and knowledgeable… and we found their pricing to be very fair. We had a blast on our sunset cruise in Madeira with Fabio and Bernardo. You won’t regret booking with this company!!!

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Funchal

Set off on a sailing adventure with Yachting.Rent in Funchal, a picturesque city in the Portuguese archipelago of Madeira. Here, you face a wonderful decision – should you choose a sailing boat or a catamaran for your voyage? Allow us to guide you through your choices.

Sailing Boats are a traditional choice that offer an authentic sailing experience.

Whichever option you choose, both provide excellent ways to discover Funchal’s coastline and beyond. From the tranquil azure waters of the Atlantic to the towering cliffs that shelter secluded bays and coves, the views are unforgettable. Sail to the Desertas Islands, enjoy the scenic landscapes of Porto Santo Island, or anchor in a hidden bay to enjoy a peaceful sunset.

Highlight of our trip.

“The sailboat cruise with Paulo was a highlight of our trip. Paulo was kind and informative. The evening and sunset was spectacular. The sights were beyond words. Both Linda and Paulo were very helpful and communicative throughout the inquiry, booking and sailing. Highly recommend!”

– Meander (Tripadvisor)

Luxury experience

“What an amazing, unique experience! Our skipper Paulo was charismatic and calm, he was very accommodating and genuine. We’ve had great luck with the weather and saw some insane sunset colors. This trip is perfect for a small group of friends and for a private romantic experience as well. Definitely a “must do”.”

– Alisa (D)

Wonderful trip

“This was one of the highlights of our holiday. Paulo sailed us down the coast of Madeira, showing us the beautiful coastline and talked to us about all the interesting aspects and history of Madeira. We found this thoroughly informative and was a key part of this enjoyable trip. The kids found the trip exciting and fun. We finished with the beautiful sunset and sailed back to shore with supplied drinks and snacks. The booking process was flawless, which Linda supported with all the detailed info required. A very worthwhile trip!”

– Steve (UK)

One of the best…

“This trip was absolutely incredible. I went just with my girlfriend but the boat had plenty of space for more people. The trip was the perfect amount of time and the boat didn’t go far from the coast so the water was very calm. I was afraid to get seasick but had no issues whatsoever… Our guide was excellent, kind and very professional with loads of knowledge of the island. This is a great way the spend the afternoon and evening, excellent for couples and even for a family. Highly recommend! Thank you very much for a sunset that will be impossible to forget!”

In fact, the image you get when walking along the Funchal pier, on a sunny day, with the calm sea in your sight, sprinkled by yachts of different colours, while daily life is going on and the singular beauty of the Funchal amphitheatre is in the backdrop, is simply stunning.

The Funchal Marina is located in Funchal Bay, and is a space belonging to the Administração dos Portos da Madeira (Port Authority), managed by the Clube Naval do Funchal and the Centro de Treino Mar.

What a perfect day exploring the island! Pedro + Alex were great captains! They showed us around the island and took us to some spots we were able to swim + snorkel. Cannot recommend this listing enough! We will definitely be back and hope to use Sea La Vie again!!

Best experience in Madeira. This will be worth your while. We saw WHALES up close. And not on a crowded catamaran. On a private charter.I cannot thank our skipper Francesco enough, he was so kind and such a good host. We might book this again since we’re here longer. DO IT

Well maintained boat. Itinerary awesome… Sailed out to see wildlife then moored offshore from a restaurant - dinghy in, lunch, swam back out to the boat… Absolutely fantastic! Francisco was a highly qualified skipper, and more importantly a truly outstanding friendly host. Can’t recommend enough…

Absolutely amazing experience . Privately hired this sailing boat to hopefully see dolphins and whales and it did not disappoint. We got to see dolphins jump and swim along side the boat . Our skipper Francisco was great - very informative and great company and a perfect host . The boat itself is great to enjoy the coastline of Madeira. Would highly recommend !

Booked our trip with Gabriel and Marco last minute. And with only 2 hours notice the guys had the boat ready and waiting. The Most amazing part of our holiday. The trip was fantastic, they allowed us to bring our own food and drinks for the journey, although they can provide a bbq,they then made sure we were topped up with food and drinks along the way ,information about the island and landmarks were given as we went along. Stopped for and hours swimming and refreshments in a beautiful private cove. They were funny and friendly, and very accommodating to even the youngest members of our crew, even taking photos with us along the way. Couldn’t recommend them high enough what an amazing trip they provided and hope to do it again some day. Don’t miss out on this pair, this boat and this amazing time. Thank you guys.

We had the most fantastic day! Gabriel and his wife were such wonderful hosts. The boat is absolutely pristine. We stopped for a lovely BBQ. Drinks and hospitality was exceptional. Can’t wait to go out on the sea with these guys again. Thank you 🙏
