Funchal is the capital of the Portuguese island group of Madeira. It lies in a valley that resembles the shape of an amphitheatre, as the town is surrounded by hills. It offers a perfect blend of maritime beauty, rich culture and excellent cuisine.

Located on the Atlantic coast, the town is renowned for its impressive harbour and the crystal-clear water in the surrounding area.

The lushly green island of Madeira with its primeval laurel forest, unique water channels, waterfalls and breathtaking views.

The town is shaded by impressive mountains covered in laurel bushes and banana trees, a nature reserve that was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.

Funchal is known for its harbour. In front of the harbour stands the fortress "São Tiago"; it was built in the 17th century.

Also famous are its Madeira wine cellars, gardens, cathedrals and numerous other sights from various periods, and of course the magnificent natural surroundings.

Stroll through the cobbled lanes and over the lively markets. The Mercado dos Lavradores forms the heart of the city's culinary scene; here you'll find fresh regional produce, exotic fruits and Madeira's famous black scabbard fish. Try a "Bolo do Caco" – a local garlic bread – or enjoy a glass of Madeira wine, prized worldwide for its unique flavour.

Funchal's cultural side reveals itself in the architecture, such as the 15th-century cathedral, as well as artistic touches like the colourful murals in the old town.

Those interested in maritime history can experience the island's deep connection with the sea first-hand at the Museum of Madeira History or by visiting the replica of Christopher Columbus's ship, the "Santa Maria".

A drink on deck at sunset is the perfect end to every day.
Friends on board

Please note that this is an insight into a sailing voyage; it is dependent on wind and weather conditions. Responsibility and decision-making rest with the ship's command, the captain. However, it is naturally in our interest and that of the crew to adhere to the itinerary as closely as possible and always offer you an attractive alternative during your voyage.

Whether you set sail together with the crew or enjoy the peaceful atmosphere on deck – this sailing experience is truly special.

The weather:
You can expect mild temperatures: between 18 and 24 °C during the day, between 15 and 19 °C at night. Whilst mostly dry weather is expected, brief showers are possible – particularly near Madeira. The sky will be partly cloudy, partly clear, and visibility is good throughout the voyage.

We hope you can experience an unforgettable time aboard the "Santa Maria Manuela" with us and look forward to seeing you again when it's time to "cast off".

An adventure voyage, an active voyage, a relaxing voyage – a sailing voyage:

With INMARIS on a tall ship. A voyage where strangers become friends.

Embrace the adventure of traditional seafaring and experience a very special sailing voyage aboard the "Santa Maria Manuela"!

And if you have any questions: we look forward to hearing from you 🙂
