Customer Reviews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We booked the private sunset catamaran tour with VipDolphins, and it was truly the highlight of our stay on Madeira! The boat was in perfect condition – clean, spacious, and super comfortable. The crew was extremely professional and at the same time warm and funny, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere from the first minute. We were lucky enough to see dolphins swimming right next to the boat, which made the evening absolutely unforgettable. The open bar, snacks, and champagne were a nice touch and made the experience feel even more special. Everything was perfectly organized – from the communication with Elsa before the trip to the check-in at the marina. You can feel that the team loves what they do, and that makes all the difference. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Madeira from its most beautiful side – on the ocean at sunset. 🌅🐬🍾
I’ve booked a private cruise for 16 people and that was the best experience I could imagine! We didn’t see the dolphins or whales, but views, crew and sunset absolutely made our day! We loved everything about it! Catamaran is really top quality (not the old one like I’ve seen wuite a few times in my life), the crew - TOP, they really took care of us, with a smile and easygoing vibe! Jumping and swimming while the sunset was a core memory experience! I would recommend to anyone and for sure will come back whenever possible! Thank you for making a surprise for my group such beautiful! Overdelivered, we loved it🥹🥹🥹🥹
Booked this trip through Booking.com. Easy booking process and when we went to the marina to check in the process was eady. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Boarding the catamaran was easy and even though the sea was a bit choppy the journey was pleasant enough. Drinks and snacks served were great and staff were excellent throughout the 3hrs. Saw dolphins and had a swim in the sea. Showers were available to freshen up after swim and changed into fresh clothes in one of the cabins. Towels a and blankets were available as well. My wife and I enjoyed thee whole experience and would recommend.
