Choosing Porto Santo Line for your journey

Porto Santo Line connects Funchal on Madeira with Porto Santo.

This is an inter-island Atlantic crossing, normally reached after travelling to Madeira. It does not provide a ferry from mainland Portugal to Madeira.

Choose between a day visit and an overnight island stay, then match the outward and return programme before arranging accommodation.

Porto Santo Line route guides

Using this local ferry network

Begin with the named departure and arrival piers. Porto Santo Line services may use different ticket arrangements from the large international ferries shown elsewhere on FerryEU. Use the official timetable for the sailing date and check whether a reservation is needed.

Do not assume that every connection runs daily or that an island boat carries cars. A circuit calling at several islands can take different times in each direction. Check intermediate stops, last return sailings and any requirement to request a call or book in advance.

Where a crossing is part of a longer trip, plan a road alternative or a flexible overnight stop. Weather and vessel maintenance can affect smaller networks, and a separate train, hotel or ferry booking may not be protected if a sailing is cancelled.

Before you pay for a Porto Santo Line ticket

Check the full journey on the quote: departure and arrival ports, dates, local times, passenger names and the category of every vehicle or bicycle. A route listed on an operator’s network map may have restricted sailing days or a different passenger product from its other services.

Review the included accommodation, luggage arrangements and whether meals or reserved seats cost extra. Ask about boarding assistance and pet capacity before payment. For local ferries, find out whether an online ticket reserves space or is simply valid for the operating period.

Save the carrier’s check-in instructions and recheck service updates before setting off. If a sailing changes, contact the company shown on the confirmation or the booking provider that sold the ticket. FerryEU cannot access or amend a reservation made with another service.
