True Magic - Utterly lost for words! The day began as we met up with fellow passengers in Calheta. A charming and lively group. Andrea and Fatima welcomed us aboard the spotless catamaran. There were welcome drinks and snacks available for anyone who wished to partake. Andrea provided our safety instructions and gave us details of the craft, our itinerary, and it was clear it would be an interactive day filled with laughter and the most spectacular scenery. Andrea and Fatima identified parts of the island hidden from usual vantage points as we worked our way down the breathtaking coastline with calming music in the background and Madeira wine to relax everyone for the journey. Flying fish joined us during the trip to the marina in Funchal. Andrea advised that our journey back would take us much closer to the coastline - and it did. After a good amount of time exploring Funchal we headed back to the Marina and found the craft docked just below the CR7 hotel. Beauty is such an understatement - there are many superlatives that one can add to a review. To really explore this sublime island, you must take this trip - it was outstanding and just mind blowing for me. The closeness to the rock formation, the changing scenery and the opportunity on our return journey to see historical places some of which were in past times only reached by sea were exquisite. Our hosts Fatima and Andrea were superb and such lovely people who are rightly proud of their island home and so keen to share its beauty with us. Thank you both for a wonderful experience, a wonderful day with the most perfect weather. I certainly will be travelling again with Seayou and urge you to book a trip - as it will be one of those trips you will remember for a lifetime. Thank you Seayou for such a wonderful day.

Both are super hosts, friendly attentive and very knowledgable. This is a new business venture and I wish them much success - they definitely deserve it. Please try their tours, I am sure you too will be delighted by the experience!

Great trip from Calheta to Funchal - We had an unforgetable trip form Calheta to Funchal. Everthing was great! The captain and the crew were very friendly and entertained us very well. Highly recommended. It is something special to travel to Funchal in this way.

A must do trip! - The crew were local people and very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Madeira. We learnt lots about the island, its history, weather and challenges residents face. This is a small catamaran trip and felt very personalised. It was much more than just a sea trip to Calheta. Would highly recommend.

Calheta-Funchal-Calheta with Seayou Sea bus, the perfect solution by water. - We found the Sea bus on the internet and booked it from Germany. That was a great idea because the tour went perfectly. We drove from Calheta to Funchal in the morning and back at the scheduled time in the evening. On the way we were pointed out numerous interesting points on the coast and our skipper also gave tips for sights on the island that we can do by car. You could clearly feel the love for your island. We will definitely book this crew again during our next stay in Madeira.
