On its website, Porto Santo Line confirmed the cancellation of the 8 am departure from Funchal and the 6 pm return trip from Porto Santo that day, stating that these sailings “could compromise the safety of passengers and the vessel.”

The company also noted that, “to provide alternatives,” it has added extra sailings on Tuesday, 10 November, following the same schedule.

All areas of the Madeira archipelago are currently under a yellow weather warning issued by the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) for thunderstorms, precipitation, and rough sea conditions.

The rough-seas warning—with waves from the west expected to reach 4 to 5 meters—remains in effect until 06:00 on Wednesday, while the precipitation warning will be in place until 6 pm, with rain that may be “heavy and persistent at times.”
