There is a berth located at the marina entrance. Be aware that it is blocked by commercial catamarans loading and unloading their passengers twice a day. Payment is by cash only.
LPG bottles can be refilled locally and Camping Gaz bottles can be either exchanged or bought. Galp Gaz is available through the marina. If the empty bottle is delivered to the office in the morning, the full bottle can usually be collected later that day.

There is now 8 visitor berths available in the new harbour run by Porto Funchal. If you are at Porto Santo, they can assist in booking a berth.
We visited Funchal Marina in March 2016. It was Easter, so no marina staff were at the marina and we had to look for a berth ourselves. We could not find a berth for 15m length. We had just 12kn of wind, but I wouldn’t have liked to try to turn the boat with more wind than that because of lack of space. We asked a boat that had been in the marina a few days if they knew of berths for our size of boat. They didn’t know of berths that size. The reception pontoon looked very bad and short. Even with a 13m boat, I wouldn’t have wanted to go alongside there. The reception pontoon was also very low.
We decided to go to Qunita do Lorde Marina instead. There they had pontoons even for at least 20m boats and no lack of space to turn out boat or lack of berthing space in March.
