The Vagrant, a luxury yacht once owned by The Beatles, has a fascinating history as a restaurant in Funchal, Madeira. Join us on this narrated Funchal Madeira walking tour and learn all about this important part of Funchal history.

Previously considered one of the most luxurious yachts in the world, the boat had previously been stranded in Gran Canaria in 1977 before being brought to Madeira, where it became a local landmark and tourist attraction.

Originally purchased by the band in the 60's, the boat was later converted into a restaurant and tourist attraction. After decades of operation, the yacht faced significant challenges in the early 2010s.

Prior to its sinking, the boat had been embroiled in a legal struggle. The Madeiran government wanted to clear the area for landscaping, and the yacht's owner, João Bartolomeu Faria, had been resisting orders to vacate the location where he had been operating the restaurant since 1984.
It finally sank in December 2013 in Caniçal Bay.
