Make Your Holiday in Madeira Truly Unforgettable
Holiday Boat Madeira puts the Atlantic at your disposal for a day or a week. Rent the boat with a skipper for a worry-free experience, or choose a longer charter for a multi-day exploration of Madeira's dramatic coastline, sea caves, and offshore islands — all with full safety equipment and local expertise on board.
Madeira is one of Europe's most exciting holiday destinations, offering a unique mix of natural beauty, cultural traditions, and year-round celebrations. From the spectacular New Year fireworks — the most famous in the world — to iconic festivals and seasonal events, the island offers unforgettable experiences for every type of traveller.
Exploring Madeira during festive periods allows you to see the island at its most vibrant, with special programmes and celebrations that highlight its rich culture and Atlantic spirit. And there is no better way to experience it all than from the deck of a private yacht.

Madeira's best celebrations from the ocean
🎆 New Year's Eve
Madeira's New Year fireworks are officially recognised as the world's largest. Watch the entire display from the ocean — no crowds, just champagne and the most spectacular show on earth.
🌸 Flower Festival
Funchal comes alive in spring with the famous Flower Festival. Cruise the bay as the city transforms into a garden — floats, carpets of flowers, and the Muro da Esperança ceremony.
🍷 Wine Festival
Celebrate Madeira's wine harvest in September with views of the terraced vineyards from the sea. The best of local cuisine and wine culture, enjoyed at anchor in a scenic bay.
