Return ferry from Formentera to Palma

How much does the ferry from Palma to Formentera cost?

The cost of the ferry from Palma to Formentera depends on the ferry company, 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 look up the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, 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.

Timetable and season of the Palma to Formentera ferry

3-7 days a week - that is how often the ferry from Palma to Formentera runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 3 hours 30 minutes at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for your dates rather than a list that may be out of date.

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: Palma de Mallorca port (Estació Marítima)

Palma de Mallorca port (Estació Marítima) is where the Palma 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.

• Luggage is carried free within the operator's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Palma de Mallorca port (Estació Marítima); some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your hotel in Palma to the port on request
• Ask us which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
