The sea link will be operated by the same company that previously operated the route, Naviera Armas. Tickets went on sale from yesterday and cost between €29 for residents on the island and €85 for non-residents. The first trip leaves Portimão for Funchal at 10.30am on Tuesday 3 July. It will depart at the same time on the same day every week until 20 September. http://madeira-ferry.pt/en/madeira-ferry/
