REACHING PORTO SANTO BY SEA, ABOARD A SHIP, TASTES OF THE DISCOVERIES OF OUR ANCESTORS. ALTHOUGH WITH MUCH MORE AMENITIES!
Just two hours and fifteen minutes take to complete the ship journey that connects Madeira to Porto Santo. We may say it’s almost short to enjoy all the services aboard Lobo Marinho, the ship operated by Porto Santo Line
Let us see: two bars, two restaurants, two shops, two games’ rooms and one for children, and even a cinema room that, for moments, makes us forget that we are moving. And besides these, there are of course, the lounge rooms, three wide rooms and a solarium which is perfect to feel the sea breeze and to look for land in sight. With its Rolls Royce stabilizers, Lobo Marinho ship ensures the comfort of the journey of up to 1153 passengers.
A day cruise… at least
Operating since 1996, Porto Santo Line company gives those who are visiting Madeira Island the opportunity to complete their trip with the discovery of Porto Santo, even if in a journey leaving and returning on the same day, in what they call a Day Cruise. But when the travel time enables this short experience in Porto Santo for one day, with a visit to Vila Baleira and even an eventual tour around the Island or a golf experience, the ideal would be to extend the stay for a few days, to enjoy all the “ilha dourada” (golden island) has to offer.
And therefore, Porto Santo Line suggests travel packs which are more complete, with agreements with hotels and bicycles rental companies, in the event the passenger hasn’t decided to take its own car in the car-deck available for 145 vehicles.
Porto Santo, impossible to resist its call
It is well known that Madeira tour is incomplete when not passing by Porto Santo. With an extension of almost 6 miles of golden sand, surrounded by calm and translucent waters, it is an obvious destination for beach lovers. But not quite so obvious and worthwhile remembering is that it is also an equally tempting destination outside the bathing season, when the sand gets empty and calm settles down, nature and sports activities become more appealing, and the exceptional hotel business looks even more welcoming.
