What to expect

Board a boat custom-made for whale watching with seats that fit a maximum of 12 passengers per trip. Learn about whales and dolphins from the crew and keep your eyes open for all kinds of wildlife, including turtles and different species of birds. Ready to experience whale-watching excursions like never before? Capt. Marco’s high-speed boat whale-watching tour is designed to get small groups up close and personal with whales, dolphins, and other marine wildlife like no other vessel. Any closer and the dolphins will think you’re one of their pod! This intimate vessel will carry up to 12 passengers. Take a close look at some of the 28 species of cetaceans that inhabit or visit the waters of the Madeira Archipelago. On our boat trips, you can see: The Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis) The Spotted Dolphin (Stenella frontalis) The Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truincatu) The Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus) The Pilot Whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus) Bryde's Whale (Balaenoptera edeni). After 2 hours out at sea learning about these fascinating mammals, you’ll return back to the pier, marking the end of your whale and dolphin watching experience.
