About Madeira Boat Tours editorial
Madeira Boat Tours is written by a small editorial group, not by a named skipper. Every figure on a page (a price, a duration, a group size, a season, a sighting rate) is taken from the operator's own page or from an official source and carries the date it was read. Nothing is ranked by commission. A named Madeira-based author, a licensed skipper or a marine biologist, is being recruited; until that person is on the page, the site claims no field visits it has not made.
Areas of expertise
- Cetacean sightings (dolphins / pilot whales / sperm whales)
- Desertas Islands access + landing rules
- Porto Santo logistics (ferry vs day-cruise)
- Boat type selection (catamaran / RIB / sailing / motor)
- Seasickness mitigation by boat type
- Cabo Girão swim-stop options
- Pirate ship + family-friendly tour reviews
Methodology
Boat-tour categories and operators are compared on what their own pages state: boat type, duration, group size, inclusions, price and cancellation terms, read on the date shown on each page. Reviews on third-party platforms are read for patterns but not reproduced. Where a fact cannot be checked against a source it is left out rather than guessed. Corrections with a source are applied on the page and the verified date is updated.
