What is the price of ferries between Bulgaria and Georgia?
A previous question about Romania and Georgia mentioned that there are ferry connections between Bulgaria and Georgia. Somebody I've met at my new hostel is interested in just a ferry so I dug up that old question to see.
However when I follow through the links I find one company is not running until they can replace one of their ships and the other links to http://www.navbul.com/ which doesn't seem to have any info on their routes let alone their prices and times. For me it only loads in English so I can't try a trick like translating their site from Bulgarian or Russian or anything that might have more information.
Or maybe there's some third party website that has details about navbul's connections?
Is anybody able to find anything I've missed? I don't mind which ports but would prefer to land in Batumi if there is an option.

I think you just need to dig a bit deaper into the NavBul website!
From their Ferry page:
Two identical ferryboat vessels operated by NAVIBULGAR ("Geroite na Sevastopol" and "Geroite na Odesa") each with total carrying capacity of 108 waggons/900 cars/100 motor trucks up to 16m length operate the regular lines:
Varna - Ilichevsk - Varna
Varna - Ilichevsk - Poti/Batumi - Ilichevsk - Varna
The trade name of Navibulgar's ferry line forwarding branch is FERRYSPED. It provides a "door to door" carriage of all types of cargo (railway rolling stock, trucks, and containers, passengers, deck cargo and cars) to and from Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Afganistan, Turkey, Greece, Macedonia and Yugoslavia, using railway, maritime and auto transport.
Then the bit you probably want is their schedule PDF which lists the dates they're sailing for the next two months. I'd suggest you ring them / email them (details at the end of the schedule) and ask for the departure timings on the days you're considering going.

May be it's too late, but here is the result of my research. I haven't found the price for the line Navbul mentioned by the op, but there is another company that connects Varna (Bulgaria) and Batumi/Poti (Georgia) ports: UKRFerry
The price for this route is from 120 USD per person (depending on the accomodation chosen) and 350 USD per car.
