We went out into the ocean (you will need to take off your shoes at the beginning, I advise you to take a change of clothes and socks with you, there is a chance to get wet from the waves) at 4 pm and began to slowly swim towards Ponta de São Lourenço, they began to offer us drinks (wine, beer, soft drinks), then the captain said that there was a chance to see marine life, and after a while we watched a group of local whales that acrobatically swam parallel to us. Then we headed closer to the shore, the water (24/01) was +19 degrees and some people, including our guide, jumped into the ocean to swim. Then we went to Funchal, the waters began to get stronger, the sunset was approaching, at this moment we were splashed with water (so I advise you to climb higher and be warmly dressed), but it was just wonderful, swaying back and forth, swimming against the waves, meeting them with the bow of the yacht. During the whole cruise (3 hours) you feel like a real sailor sailing the ocean.
The sunset sailing trip was magical. Stunning views, a peaceful atmosphere, and excellent organization made it unforgettable. Highly recommended!
