Timetable and season of the Ibiza to Formentera ferry

Every 30 minutes in summer, hourly in winter - that is how frequently the ferry from Ibiza to Formentera runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 30 minutes at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for your date rather than a list that may be out of date.

If a sailing is cancelled by the shipping line for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.

Departure: Ibiza Town port (Formentera terminal)

Ibiza Town port (Formentera terminal) is where the Ibiza to Formentera ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.

  • Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Ibiza Town port (Formentera terminal); some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
  • Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Ibiza to the port on request
  • Let us know which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
  • Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes

Arrival: La Savina port, Formentera

You step off at La Savina port, Formentera. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.

On board the Ibiza to Formentera ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage

The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Both types on this route carry vehicles on some sailings; we tell you which. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.

  • Children's fares by age; infants usually free
  • Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling
  • Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
  • Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths

Things to do in Formentera after the ferry

Formentera is the small island south of Ibiza with Caribbean-clear water, reached only by boat. Start with Cap de Barbaria lighthouse, Es Pujols and La Mola market, then Ses Illetes beach.

Haqqi Tours arranges guided tours, tickets, transfers and private drivers in Formentera; ask when you book the ferry and we send the options.

Best time to take the ferry from Ibiza to Formentera

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 look up before you plan.

Ferry or flight from Ibiza to Formentera?

Weighing a flight against the ferry from Ibiza to Formentera? 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 30 minutes at sea and typically cheaper, with no baggage fees. With a car there is no contest. We book whichever suits you.

Return ferry from Formentera to Ibiza

The Formentera to Ibiza ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours offers the return ticket in the same conversation; if the return date is not fixed, an open return on the same operator keeps it flexible.

How much does the ferry from Ibiza to Formentera cost?

Ferry prices from Ibiza to Formentera move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we look up the fare for the day you want to sail and send it by WhatsApp before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, vehicle, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Ibiza to Formentera: how to pay less

A cheap Ibiza to Formentera ferry ticket is not luck - it is the right boat on the right day. Here is how we find it:

  • Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
  • Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
  • Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and frequently more scenic
  • Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
  • Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
  • Let us know if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which sailing is the cheapest ferry from Ibiza to Formentera that day and how much a different day would save.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.

How early should I be at Ibiza Town port (Formentera terminal)?

Foot passengers 45 to 60 minutes before sailing, vehicles 60 to 90, 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.

Do I need a passport for this ferry?

Carry an ID or passport; it is required on many sailings and checked at the port on international crossings. We tell you what applies when we confirm.

Can I choose a seat or a cabin?

Yes, wherever the ship has classes - airline-style, lounge or business seats on the fast boats, cabins on overnight sailings. Say what you prefer and we send the cost of each.

Is the crossing rough?

Most days it is calm. In windy weeks the fast catamarans move more than the big ferries; morning sailings are generally the smoothest. If you are prone to seasickness let us know and we book the steadier vessel and a seat in the middle of the ship.

What if the weather cancels the sailing?

The company moves you to the next sailing or refunds the ticket, and our WhatsApp desk sorts it out for you on the day. In poor forecasts we suggest the conventional ferry, which sails when the fast boats stay in port.

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 Ibiza to Formentera crossing.

Can I book a return ferry ticket?

Certainly. Choose "return" on the form and give both dates; round-trip and open-return fares are cheaper on many operators and we book whichever suits you.

Is there a luggage limit on the ferry?

Bags are not weighed on the big ferries and travel free within the ferry company's limits; the fast passenger boats sometimes cap the number of pieces. We tell you what applies to your sailing.

Can I take a car on the Ibiza to Formentera ferry?

Yes, on the car ferries. Give us the car's length and height on WhatsApp and we book the vehicle space; drivers typically check in 60-90 minutes before sailing.

How often does the ferry from Ibiza to Formentera run?

Every 30 minutes in summer, hourly in winter, with more sailings in summer. We send the timetable for your travel date.

How do I book ferry tickets from Ibiza to Formentera?

Send the booking form on this page with your date, one-way or return and the number of passengers - and the car, if you take one. Our booking desk replies through WhatsApp with the sailings, the vessels and the cost; once you confirm, the ticket arrives in the same chat.

Where does the ferry arrive in Formentera?

You dock at La Savina port, Formentera. Buses and taxis meet every arrival, and a Haqqi Tours driver can wait at the pier with your name if you add a transfer.

Which port does the ferry leave from?

Sailings depart from Ibiza Town port (Formentera terminal). We send the gate or pier and the check-in time with the ticket, and can book a driver from your hotel to the port.
