— A PRIVATE CHARTER
A boat built for the wild Atlantic, a captain who knows every cove, and the kind of afternoon you'll remember in winter.

— ABOARD CHIFBAY —
Moments at sea.
— WHY CHIFBAY
Private. Local.
Properly looked after.
Yours alone
No shared tours, no fixed groups. The boat, the route and the day are private — designed around the people on board.
Born here
A Madeira-born skipper who's spent a decade reading these waters. The coves on the map are nothing next to the ones that aren't.
Properly catered
Iced Madeira poncha, local cheeses, fresh fruit. Champagne on the sunset run. Real food, real wine, nothing plastic.
— GUEST LOGBOOK
Loved by travellers
from across the world.
The single best afternoon of our entire trip. Hugo found us a cove with no one else in it, dolphins on the way back, and the most beautiful sunset.

I've been on a lot of boats — this is a different league. Spotless vessel, real local food, no rush. Worth every euro.

Booked the sunset cruise for our anniversary. Champagne, the coast lit up in gold — it's the photo we put on the wall.
