The Azores

How do ferry connections between the islands work?

Answer updated 18 October 2026Independent guide
Short answer

Ferry connections between the Azores islands are limited and mostly seasonal, with some routes operating only in summer. They are not available between all islands and schedules can vary. Ferries are a scenic but slower option compared to flights. To check current routes, timetables and prices, consult the ferry operators' official websites or local tourism offices.
