“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.”

Watch Madeira’s Funchal fireworks from a small boat with sparkling wine, snacks, and a midnight toast. Practical details, value, and tips.
“The fireworks were at risk of cancellation due to the weather and I am so glad the rains didn’t play spoilsport at the last minute. The agency assured us that the winds were fine and the only risk was us getting wet due to the rain forecast, and we were extremely lucky to have had good weather for the entire 2hrs or so we were onboard the boat. The guide was fun and informative and I highly recommend this to anyone looking to watch the fireworks this year.”
