About
About Atlânticoline
Atlânticoline is the inter-island lifeline of the Azores, connecting an archipelago spread across hundreds of kilometres of the mid-Atlantic. Its shortest and busiest crossing is the triangle — Horta on Faial, Madalena on Pico and Velas on São Jorge — where Horta to Madalena takes about 30 minutes and Madalena to Velas about an hour.
The far west
At the other end of the archipelago, Flores and Corvo are linked by a crossing of about 75 minutes. Corvo has a few hundred inhabitants and no alternative when the sea is up — which is the whole argument for a subsidised island service.
Fares built for island life
The tariff structure says a great deal about who actually uses these ships. Alongside adult and child fares there are categories for Interjovem youth travel, Sénior/IPG, large families (Família Numerosa), family packs, groups, season passes, sports equipment, animals, vehicles and unaccompanied baggage — the last a genuinely useful thing when you are moving belongings between islands without travelling yourself.
Weather and maintenance
Ships come out of service for yard work — the company publishes when, as with Cruzeiro das Ilhas entering the Madalena shipyard — and Atlantic weather closes crossings at short notice. On the smaller islands, check the operator's own announcements rather than a cached timetable.
