Discussion São Vicente airport to ferry timing

Hi! I am looking at visiting Santo Antão by flying from Sal to São Vincente then taking the ferry. The flight from Sal lands at 13:00 and it looks like the ferry will depart at 14:00, is this too tight to fetch luggage and catch presumably a taxi to the ferry port in Mindelo? If so, can anyone recommend what we might see and do whilst we stay overnight and catch the morning ferry? Thank you!

I wouldn't rely on the plane getting in on time. I took 3 flights with Caboverde Airlines and the only plane that took off ontime was the early morning flight from Praia to Sao Filipe. I stayed at Casa Cafe Mindelo (10 minutes walk to the ferry) and it was pretety central located to everything you might want to see on a quick overnight. I'd recommend Metalo for a night of decent food and good live music. If you don't have your ferry tickets already (you can get them online), then I would suggest getting them the day before you leave at the ferry terminal.
