A nautical jaunt with a difference. - Amazing trip in this replica Santa Maria, one of Christopher Columbus’s ships. Built in 1997/98 in Madeira, you get to see the South of the island from the sea. The cre are welcoming and knowledgeable. We left the Funchal and headed out to sea to try to find some dolphins and whales, but, alas they were a bit shy. After an hour sailing along, we headed inland for an opportunity to have a taste of the local waters. They dropped anchor and we were allowed to dive into the blue sea. A bit chilly but great fun. Even managed to see a juvenile shark swim by! We were then treated to a slice of Madeiran honey cake and a dram of Madeira wine before setting off again. The return was hugging the coast to see the sheer cliffs before going along admiring the hotels and lidos along the way. All too soon it was time to dock. A fabulous adventure with a difference in a replica historical ship. Highly recommended.
