Timetable and season of the Gdansk to Westerplatte ferry
The Gdansk to Westerplatte ferry timetable is seasonal: high summer brings the fullest schedule and the earliest sell-outs; spring and autumn have fewer boats and better fares; winter runs a reduced service on many crossings. The crossing itself takes about 1 hour. Let us know the day and we send the sailings, and we flag the ones most exposed to a cancellation in bad weather.
Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.
Departure: Gdańsk Green Gate pier
The ferry from Gdansk to Westerplatte leaves from Gdańsk Green Gate pier, in Gdansk - Gdańsk is the Hanseatic port of the Baltic, with the rebuilt old town, the Solidarity museum and Sopot beach next door. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: A commuter railway and city buses link the airport with the centre, and they are good for light luggage; a private car is simpler to Sopot or Gdynia, for the ferry terminal, for Malbork and Hel, and for early flights.
- Luggage is carried free within the ferry company's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
- Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Gdańsk Green Gate pier; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
- Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your hotel in Gdansk to the port on request
- Let us know which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
Arrival: Westerplatte pier
The ferry docks at Westerplatte pier - Westerplatte is the peninsula at the mouth of the Dead Vistula where the first shots of the Second World War were fired in 1939. From the pier you are minutes from taxis, buses and the town itself. Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from the port to your hotel in Westerplatte with a driver waiting at the exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Gdansk to Westerplatte crossing.
Many travellers continue from Westerplatte to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
On board the Gdansk to Westerplatte ferry: seats, cabins and luggage
On board, the ferry from Gdansk to Westerplatte is relaxed: you can walk about, sit inside or on deck, eat at the café and watch the coast. Seat classes differ in space and quiet - economy, airline seats, lounge or business on the fast boats; cabins of two to four berths on overnight ferries. The fast boats are passenger-only, so bags stay with you.
- Café, bar or restaurant on most vessels; open decks on the conventional ferries
- Passengers only - luggage stays with you
- Children's fares by age; infants typically free
- Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling
Things to do in Westerplatte after the ferry
Westerplatte is the peninsula at the mouth of the Dead Vistula where the first shots of the Second World War were fired in 1939. Start with Defenders' cemetery, Gdańsk harbour views and Westerplatte monument, then Guardhouse No. 1.
Haqqi Tours can provide guided tours, tickets, transfers and private drivers in Westerplatte; ask when you book the ferry and we send the options.
Best time to take the ferry from Gdansk to Westerplatte
For the ferry itself, late spring and early autumn bring calm seas, full timetables and reasonable fares; July and August are the busiest and the most expensive, and the windiest weeks can cancel the fast boats. Winter schedules are thinner on many crossings, so we check before you plan.
Ferry or flight from Gdansk to Westerplatte?
Weighing a flight against the ferry from Gdansk to Westerplatte? Add the airport time at both ends and the transfer from the arrival airport, and the ferry is often as fast door to door - about 1 hour at sea and generally cheaper, with no baggage fees. We book whichever suits you.
Return ferry from Westerplatte to Gdansk
Coming back? Say so on the form. A return ferry ticket from Westerplatte to Gdansk booked with the outbound is frequently cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the whole trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.
How much does the ferry from Gdansk to Westerplatte cost?
The cost of the ferry from Gdansk to Westerplatte depends on the operator, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we check the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost in the WhatsApp chat, with the options side by side.
Ask us for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Gdansk to Westerplatte ferry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
How often does the ferry from Gdansk to Westerplatte run?
Daily in summer, with more sailings in summer. We send the timetable for your date.
Can I take a car on the Gdansk to Westerplatte ferry?
No - the vessels on this crossing carry passengers only. Haqqi Tours offers transfers or rental cars at the other end if you need wheels.
Is there a luggage limit on the ferry?
Luggage is not weighed on most ferries and is carried free within the shipping line's limits; the fast passenger boats sometimes limit the number of bags. We tell you what applies to your sailing.
Can I book a return ferry ticket?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form with both dates; round-trip and open-return fares are cheaper with many companies and we book whichever suits you best.
Do children need a ferry ticket?
Yes, at a child fare; infants generally sail free. Put the ages on the form and we apply the right fares for the Gdansk to Westerplatte crossing.
What if the weather cancels the sailing?
The shipping line rebooks you on the next sailing or refunds the ticket, and our WhatsApp desk handles it for you on the day. When the forecast is poor we suggest the conventional ferry, which sails in weather that cancels the fast boats.
Is the crossing rough?
Most days it is calm. In windy weeks the fast catamarans move more than the big ferries; morning sailings are normally the smoothest. If you are prone to seasickness tell us and we book the steadier vessel and a seat in the middle of the ship.
Can I choose a seat or a cabin?
Yes, where the ship has classes: airline, lounge or business seats on the fast boats, cabins on overnight sailings. Let us know your preference and we send the cost of each.
Do I need a passport for this ferry?
An ID is enough on most domestic sailings; carry a passport on any international crossing. We finalise what applies when we send the ticket.
How early should I be at Gdańsk Green Gate pier?
Foot passengers 45 to 60 minutes before sailing, earlier on international routes. Some fast boats board ten minutes before departure and do not wait, so we send the exact cut-off with the ticket.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange transfers to and from the ports?
Yes. We provide private transfers from your hotel to Gdańsk Green Gate pier and from Westerplatte pier to your hotel, with room for the bags, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
Is it better to take the ferry or fly from Gdansk to Westerplatte?
For most people the ferry: it docks in the town, carries all the luggage, and typically costs less door to door. We book flights too and say which is better for your dates.
Can I bring a pet?
Many ships accept pets in carriers or on-board kennels, sometimes for a small fee. Let us know on WhatsApp and we confirm the rules for your sailing.
