The same crew, on the water

We also run the boat

Chifbay is our private boat out of Marina do Funchal, the same family, a few minutes from either apartment. One group at a time, never shared: Cabo Girão, a swim at Fajã dos Padres, or the coast at golden hour. Guests staying with us book it directly.

The day trip

Two and a half or three hours down the west coast, with swimming and paddle boarding.

The sunset trip

Two hours to Cabo Girão as the light goes, or two and a half on to Ribeira Brava.

Rated 5.0

Across every verified trip, with the same two skippers on board each time.

Questions

Before you book

How do I book?

Here, on this site. Pick your dates on the apartment page and pay by card through Stripe. The calendar shows what is actually free: it reads the same availability as Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking, so a night sold anywhere is closed everywhere.

Is it cheaper than Airbnb?

Yes, twice over. The nightly rate here is lower, and there is no Airbnb service fee on top.

How many people can stay?

Three in each apartment. Both have two bedrooms, two beds and one bathroom.

Is there parking?

Varanda do Sol comes with free parking on site. Perla do Oceano has free street parking nearby.

Who looks after the flats?

Natalia, an Airbnb Superhost, hosting for 1 year. You are met at the door on arrival.

Is there a carbon monoxide alarm?

No. Neither apartment has one, and both listings say so. We would rather write it here than leave you to find it in the small print.
