There’s something timeless about arriving on Ibiza by sea. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, watching the island rise from the horizon as the wind picks up and the sunlight hits the water — it just hits different. Ferries are more than just transport here — they’re part of the rhythm of Balearic life.

This guide covers everything you need to know about ferries to, from, and around Ibiza. Whether you’re planning a day trip to Formentera, hopping over to Mallorca, or arriving from the Spanish mainland (like Barcelona, Valencia or Dénia), you’ll find a range of options — from fast catamarans to larger overnight crossings.

We’ll walk you through:

• ✅ The main ferry routes to/from Ibiza and between the islands

• ✅ Where to depart from: Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, or the mainland
• ✅ How to book in advance (or on the day)
• ✅ Tips for cars, bikes, foot passengers and pets
• ✅ What to expect on board — from comfort levels to crossing times

Whether you’re arriving, leaving, or simply exploring — let the sea be part of your journey.
