OUR LOCATION
Navigating from Madeira's hidden gem
Caniçal & Ponta de São Lourenço
We operate from Marina da Quinta do Lorde in Caniçal, located at the eastern tip of Madeira island. This exclusive marina sits at the gateway to Ponta de São Lourenço, one of Madeira's most dramatic and beautiful natural landmarks.
Caniçal was Europe's last whaling village until 1981, and today offers a unique blend of maritime heritage and untouched natural beauty. The area is characterized by its crystal-clear Atlantic waters, dramatic cliffs, and the prevailing North/Northeast winds that make every navigation experience unforgettable.
