We had a two full days outing. The experience was fantastic. Preparation arrangements woth Matilde were very efficient and we were offered exactly what we were looking for. The boat team Luis and Manuel were very attentive to our needs and making recomendations that were very adequate. We visited the Calheta region, where we had lunch in the Faja dos Padres restaurant (excelent) and the second day we visited the Ponta of S Lourenço bay which was amazing. A very good outing! Really recommend it!

We had an amazing four hour trip with Luis and Francisco! We enjoyed the sea, went for a swim and had drinks and a huge platter of fruits with these guys. They were absolutely great and fulfilled every wish before we even asked for it ☺️ It was a very personal experience, much better then any other tourist boat trip we’ve ever been on - and definetely worth every penny!!
Also the booking and contact in advance was very easy and comfortable via Whatsapp (thank you, Matilde!). All in all: perfect service, perfect day! Thank you so so much for everything, we‘ll be your guests again if we‘ll come back to Madeira.

We had the most amazing time during the charter. We booked the half day charter and we almost regret not going for the full one. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional crew giving an experience we'll never forget.
The crew will make sure you have an good time and is also keen on knowing how everything is. They explained to us that they always want to the deliver the best and I believe they do.
They were also really good with communications before the trip and when we arrived in the Marina we felt that sure of we were going to have a good experience.
So if you are in doubt with booking with them, do it. You will regret not booking with them otherwise!

We had an excellent day on the Happy Hour sailing boat. Luis and Francisco were great hosts, very friendly and interesting. The boat is very comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome.
The day began at 9am from Funchal marina and we were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins in the bay. We then went west along the stunning coast at a leisurely pace, stopping for lunch in a small bay where we could swim and snorkel from the boat. Luis and Francisco prepared a lovely lunch of cheeses, ham, bread, salad and fresh fruit.
After lunch we managed to out the sails up and made the best of a short period of wind, but ended up coming back into the marina under engine. My husband was very keen to take part in the sailing and I was happy just to relax while they did all the work.
A relaxing and delightful day out and a great chance to see the lovely coast of Madeira.

Thank you Alex and Luis, for a lovely half day on your yacht.
We had a fantastic, relaxing time and you were the perfect hosts. Shame we couldn’t get any sailing in because of the calm weather but it was lovely to be back on the water.
We would recommend Happy Hour to anyone and would also recommend that you ‘push the boat out’ and pay a little extra to get the personal service - and a beautifully turned out yacht.

Such an amazing trip! Took the sunset-trip with my fiancé and it was just perfect. The boat was really beautiful and shiny. The crew was two really nice guys that really knew their way around the charter. The crew asked me in advance if I wanted something special or had any questions in mind. The guys made our night really special and I am very happy that we booked exactly their services. Thank you for the night!
Ps. if any other guys are wondering if it’s a perfect place to propose, yes it is.

Fantastic trip with Luis and Kiko who were great professionals and really fun guys. We booked the half day sailing, but could easily have spent full day there. The sailing boat is comfortable and well equipped. Even managed to see a group of spotted dolphins during the day, before having a light lunch & drinks and going for a swim. Will definitely go again and highly recommend - highlight of our trip ☀️
