The 30-minute Balearia ferry crossing from Ibiza port to Formentera is the fastest way to reach the island. Departures run roughly every 30 minutes during high season, with the first sailing from Ibiza at 07:00 and from Formentera at 08:00. The modern vessels are air-conditioned and built for comfort on what amounts to a half-hour journey across calm waters.
Balearia allows 20 kg of luggage per person free of charge, plus bicycles and pets at no extra cost. Flexibility is built in: you can return to Ibiza on a different day than you arrive. Check in 30 minutes before departure at Ibiza Maritime Station in Ibiza Town, located next to Burger King. The Balearia ferry operates year-round with increased frequency during mid and high season, so expect more sailings when Ibiza and Formentera are busiest.
