New company SeaYou Madeira launches innovative ‘sea bus’ service

A new sea route connecting Calheta, Funchal and Caniçal is launched from 4th February.

From 4 February 2025, SeaYou Madeira, a maritime tourism company, is launching an innovative new service – the SeaBus. This modern catamaran will transform transport on the island, offering residents and visitors a comfortable, scenic and sustainable way to travel between the main destinations on Madeira’s south coast.

What makes SeaBus a differentiating choice?

The SeaBus is not just a means of transport – it is an experience that combines comfort and sustainability. While traditional sea routes are often limited to a single city, the SeaBus allows a fluid connection between Calheta, Funchal and Caniçal, providing a new way to discover the island.

Why choose SeaBus?

In addition to being a convenient alternative to land transportation, the SeaBus is designed to provide a premium onboard experience:

  • Free Wi-Fi – Stay connected throughout your trip.
  • Bar and Snacks – Enjoy drinks and snacks while you travel.
  • Environmental Sustainability – All of the catamaran’s electrical systems are powered by solar panels, reinforcing our commitment to preserving the environment.

Fixed Schedule.

SeaBus operates on a set timetable, ensuring reliability and convenience:

  • Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays: Departure from Calheta, stop in Funchal to board and disembark passengers, and arrival in Caniçal. (Choose between a one-way or round-trip journey).
  • Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays: Departure from Caniçal, stop in Funchal to board and disembark passengers, and arrival in Calheta. (Choose between one-way or round-trip journey.)

When does it start?
