Tickets and booking P

Booking recommended. Cars, motorbikes and bicycles must be booked. Foot passengers can travel without a booking, but boats can be crowded on any day, so booking is safer. Bookings open one month before the sailing date (online or by phone); no cancellation fee. Check in at least 30 minutes before departure.

Where to buy

Paying: Cash only at the window: no credit cards or e-money.
