About this trip

Embark on a truly special journey from Madeira to the remote and rugged Desertas Islands, a protected nature reserve known for its dramatic cliffs, pristine waters, and rich marine life. Aboard a comfortable motor yacht, you’ll glide across the Atlantic, leaving behind the bustle of civilization as you head toward this wild, uninhabited paradise.

The Desertas offer a sense of raw, untouched beauty — a place where nature reigns and where few visitors set foot. As you approach by sea, the towering rocky coastlines and crystal-clear waters set the scene for an unforgettable day. With the possibility to go ashore (weather permitting), you’ll have the chance to explore the island’s rugged trails, observe its unique flora and fauna, and experience the profound sense of peace that comes with standing in one of the Atlantic’s last true wildernesses.

Throughout the journey, you can relax on deck, soak in panoramic ocean views, and enjoy the attentive service of an experienced crew. Watch for dolphins, seabirds, and perhaps even monk seals — the Desertas are a haven for wildlife and a dream for nature lovers. Whether you’re looking for adventure, a peaceful escape, or a one-of-a-kind encounter with Madeira’s wilder side, this full-day cruise offers an experience that’s both thrilling and serene.

Let the sea carry you to a place where time slows down, the air is pure, and the beauty of nature takes center stage.
