Voyage description
Embark on a unique 4-day voyage aboard the Santa Maria Manuela, from Tenerife to Funchal, passing by the breathtaking Selvagem Islands, a nature reserve teeming with wildlife.
Before setting sail, immerse yourself in the beauty of Tenerife by exploring the historic streets of Santa Cruz or hiking the volcanic landscapes of Teide National Park.
This journey heads upwind, meaning we’ll encounter some added resistance from prevailing winds and waves, making for a slightly more challenging experience. Engage in deck activities like knot-tying classes, perfect for learning new skills while sharing stories with fellow sailors. When weather permits, you’ll have the chance to climb the mast or relax on the bowsprit. A sunset drink on deck is a great way to end each day.
The Selvagem Islands are a true paradise for nature lovers. These islands are home to numerous seabirds, and we hope to have the opportunity to admire their flight from the deck of the Santa Maria Manuela.
From there, we continue our journey toward Madeira. As we approach Funchal, celebrate and take in the magnificent views, sharing stories and laughter with fellow travelers. The journey ends in Funchal, where you can explore the vibrant local culture, savor the island’s famous wines, or simply enjoy the beauty of Madeira’s natural landscapes.
Weather:
The weather in the Canary Islands in November is typically mild and pleasant, with temperatures ranging between 18°C and 24°C. You can expect plenty of sunshine, although there may be an occasional light shower with cooler nights so pack a jumper.

Agustin, Italy
The trip between Lisbon and Funchal was really exceptional thanks to the kindness and professionalism of the crew that was always available to answer all our requests. A trip far too short.
It was my first cruise aboard Santa Maria Manuela but it will certainly not be the last.
Catherine - France
It was a wonderful journey. The ship is beautiful and in a perfect condition, we felt
comfortable at any time, thanks to the gentle team. The meals were very tasteful (thanks to
the cook!).
Katrin - Holland
We want to say THANK YOU to all the crew they all were so helpful. Nothing was too much
trouble. If the world would follow Santa Maria Manuela’s example, we would all live in a
better place.
Peter & Ron, UK
It was obvious that the crew was very capable of doing everything without the help of the passengers, but I loved that they wanted us to be involved and gave us tasks that we could do. It is also evident how important safety on board is and I was impressed to see all of the crew members in harnesses and helmets whenever they were in slightly precarious positions preparing a sail to be raised or fixing something.
Sailwiz – Spain
The trip was absolutely incredible. I am extremely impressed with the ship and the crew. I felt very at home on board and the crew was so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. I feel like I learned so much about the ship and navigation and I know many of the other passengers feel the same. I truly enjoyed the trip and hope that I will go aboard again.
Julia – USA
My friends and familly are all '50 shades of green' with envy. Thankyou from Andrew and me to you and the crew for an experience of a lifetime.

We really enjoyed our Madeira-Tenerife crossing onboard SMM. Great crew, fantastic downwind sailing, pleasant ‘guests’.
Pierre - France
I can't imagine the Santa Maria Manuela having a bigger fan than me. It was a remarkable experience and I really enjoyed getting to know the crew as well as all of the passengers. It was a great group of people to spend 6 days with.
Sailwiz - Spain
The crew took good care of us, I just hope they enjoyed the trip as much as we did. Could not have been any better.
Irmgard – Germany
Without a doubt, this year the best experience I had was being on board Santa Maria Manuela. The days on board were extraordinary. Crew 5⭐
