Christopher Columbus Caravel Trip

We'll meet at the indicated time at the Marina Funchal port, where the magnificent Santa Maria caravel will be waiting for us. Onboard this historical ship, we'll travel back to 1492 and relive Christopher Columbus' voyage to the New World while sailing along the southern coast of Madeira.

Onboard, you'll enjoy the company of the crew, a group of pirates from Madeira. Additionally, there might be opportunities to spot some of the dolphins and whales in the Atlantic waters!

Built in Câmara de Lobos, this ship is a replica of the caravel that accompanied La Pinta and La Niña in the discovery of America. The Santa Maria was the largest of the three and was captained by Christopher Columbus. You will have the chance to explore its deck, access the cellar, and admire its magnificent Portuguese sails and crow's nest.
