Welcome New Year from Funchal Bay on a catamaran with Madeira wine, champagne, Christmas lights, and a famous fireworks show.
“Déjà le lieu de rdv n'était pas le bon ! Arrivée à la Marina j'ai vu le bateau s'en aller, heureusement que je connais un peu Funchal ! J'ai dû traverser la foule dense pour arriver de l'autre côté parmi les dernières alors que j'étais là depuis 22h00. Au stand du Sea Born, une dame m'a conduit dans la file mais en oubliant de me donner le pass, conclusion lorsque ce fut mon tour, je n'ai pas pu monter sur le bateau et j'ai dû retourner au stand où l'on ne m'a pas cru !

Review of Lisbon’s Tagus New Year’s Eve cruise, with fireworks, open bar, monument views, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“Highlight of our trip. They took us to the perfect up close viewing of the fireworks which lasted a solid 10 minutes. The staff was very welcoming, ensuring we had a good time - plenty of beer and wine plus snacks. The catamaran had inside and outside areas, which we tried to huddle where it was warm due to unusually cold night. Meet up location was easy to find and well organized. Champagne and raisins distributed at midnight. Checked in at 10, boarded 10:30, disembarked at 11, and returned at 1am.”
