In the Port of Funchal are the mega-yachts ‘Illusion’,berthed at pier 2, and at anchor are the ‘Infinite Jest’, ‘B5’, ‘Heeus’ and ‘Rio’. At the beginning of the evening, the ‘Maltese Falcon’ and the ‘Gladiator’ arrive and dock at Pontinha. In Caniçal are the ‘Fantasea’, ‘Galaxi’and ‘Baton Rouge’. This is the first time the port has seen three mega-yachts in one day. Tomorrow, at 1pm, the ‘Crossbow’ is expected.
