The Portuguese Registered ferry Lobo Marinho was built to provide passenger facilities similar to a mini cruise ship. She sails to a regular timetable between the Portuguese islands of Madeira and Porto Santo, the 43 Km (27 mile) crossing taking approximately 2 hours 20 minutes. She is capable of accommodating 1150 passengers and 145 cars. This image of her leaving the Port of Funchal Madeira was captured in December 2009.
