Audio Guide of Atlantic Ferries - Setúbal (Commerce Dock)

Passenger catamarans depart from Commerce Dock approximately every 30 or 60 minutes, starting around 6:00 AM until midnight. The terminal is located in the center of Setúbal’s waterfront area; you can check exact schedules on the official Atlantic Ferries website.

The round-trip adult ticket costs around €8.80, with reduced fares for children and the option to use the Viva Viagem card. You can buy tickets directly from the automatic machines or ticket windows at the terminal before boarding.

The catamaran trip from Setúbal (Commerce Dock) to Troia is very quick and pleasant, lasting only about 15 to 20 minutes. It is just enough time to enjoy the sea breeze and take spectacular photos of the estuary.

More than simple transportation, this route connects the historic city of Setúbal with the Roman ruins and paradise-like beaches of the Troia Peninsula. You will sail across the Sado Estuary, a protected area famous for its resident dolphin community.

To enjoy the best views and lighting for photography, sunset is unbeatable. If you are going in high season (summer) for the beach, we recommend taking the earliest boats in the morning (before 10:00 AM) to avoid crowds.

Yes, Atlantic Ferries’ green catamarans (passenger ferries) are designed with access ramps and reserved spaces. Both the Commerce Dock terminal and the arrival point in Troia are adapted for wheelchairs and strollers.

You are in a prime location; just a few steps away is the famous Livramento Market, considered one of the best in the world, as well as Luísa Todi Avenue, full of restaurants where you can try fried cuttlefish.

If you are just visiting, make sure to buy a round-trip ticket (it is cheaper) and keep it safe, as you will need it to pass through the turnstiles on your return. Keep your eyes open during the journey — it is very common to spot dolphins jumping near the boat!
