Inter-island ferries in Cabo Verde?

Inter-island ferries in Cabo Verde? - Aerial Shot Of Body Of Water

I'm visiting Cabo Verde in November, arriving at Sal. I'm hoping to visit a few of the other islands, preferably by ferry.

CVInterilhas runs between some of the islands, but their schedule appears to be in flux. And, though a few weeks ago they advertised a route leaving Sal for Praia via Boa Vista, now, they seem to not mention this route at all.

I'm aware of two older similar questions (1, 2), but this information seems particularly prone to change.

SkyScanner lists flights for around 75 euros, one way.

CVInterilhas is not picking up its listed phone number and has not responded to email enquiries.

I prefer taking ferries between the islands. But, where can I get reliable information on this?
