For heavens sake Barry … THIS IS A BLOG and NOT the Naviera Armas website!! The thing is that if my blog shows up on the top search results when Googling for “ferry” and “madeira” … it does not mean that it is the website of the ferry. Barry and also others (that complain) should read further than their nose long is. And yes … it is a waste of time to be adding these kind of comments and complaining … instead of sending it to the real responsible company. By the way … this article is from 2008 (!!) and NO I will not remove it (because it is MY blog!). Go complain somewhere else!

This has to be the most useless website I have ever come across! No timetable, no information whatsoever… why even bother! Is anyone actually going to read these complaints and do something about these problems? Judging by the other posts I think it is a total waste of time.

Hey, directferries sells tickets from portimao, Portugal to Funchal,Madeira and so does the naviera armas website which is the actual company and therefore you can get a better deal. It costs 78€ each way so a return journey costs around 156€ for one person. It leaves on Saturdays and returns from Madeira on Sundays a week later.

I’m taking a coach from London to portimao, cost me £190 and the trip takes a day and a half. I arrive on the 7th and take the ferry on the 8th so it works out well, I return by boat on the 21st and the coach takes me back on the 27th. Can’t wait!

I have been trying to find out about the PRICES for two adults, age 60+, without vehicle from Portugal, Spain or UK to Madeira but get stuck on the Portugal-Madeira website. Can anyone give us this simple information

Grateful for help

I am thinking of this boat to go from Madeira to Portugal, one way for 2 of us June 2010. I can’t get the website (http://www.navieraarmas.com/index.php?id_pagina=2&idioma=en) to give me any useful booking info, other than they leave Madeira on Saturdays.

Is it too far in advance? Any pricing info would be helpful. No car, just walk on and no stateroom needed though would take it if not exorbitant.

Sounds like, based on last comment, we will bring our own food. Thanks!
