Menorca ferry timetable
Choose a route and travel date. Use the list for planning; the operator's information and your booking confirmation are definitive.
From the mainland
Menorca has two ferry ports, and which one suits you depends on where you are staying. Mahón in the east is the capital, with its great natural harbour; Ciutadella in the west is the port with the most connections to the neighbouring islands.
From mainland Spain, Barcelona serves both ports and Valencia serves Mahón. Both are overnight crossings that replace a night's accommodation.
Between the Balearics
From Mallorca the island is quickly reached: Alcúdia - Ciutadella is the shortest crossing and runs several times a day, and Palma - Mahón links the two capitals. From France, Toulon - Ciutadella joins the list.
What to watch out for in the timetable
The routes differ a lot in how seasonal they are. The service from Alcúdia is the densest; the mainland and French routes sail far less often and in winter sometimes not at all. An empty day in the timetable is therefore a statement about your date, not about the route.
Choose the port of arrival to suit where you are staying: the whole island lies between Mahón and Ciutadella, and the bus ride across it takes longer than some of the crossings.
On the overnight boats from the mainland the cabin is part of the journey. During the summer holidays cabins and vehicle spaces go before the crossing itself sells out.
Menorca timetable FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how to read the departures.
How up to date is this timetable? +
The timetable shows planned departures and is not a live disruption service. The operator reports short-notice changes from weather or technical faults first, so check there or in your booking confirmation.
Why are there no departures on some days? +
No result on a date may mean that the route is not operating that day or that reliable data is not yet available. It says nothing about the season as a whole. Check nearby dates and then confirm with the operator.
Why does the crossing time vary on the same route? +
The vessel, itinerary and possible stops can vary by departure. Use the time shown for the specific entry rather than comparing route names alone.
Where can I find the confirmed departure port and check-in time? +
The route pages explain the usual terminals and operator-specific deadlines. The terminal and check-in deadline on your ticket and booking confirmation remain definitive.
Can I plan a return sailing on the same day? +
Check the outbound and return directions separately for the same date. A same-day return is only realistic if both departures are bookable and you have enough time between arrival, onward travel and the next check-in.
