Luggage, vehicles and pets

Luggage

Under the Formentera Lines general conditions of carriage, each passenger may bring up to 20 kg per person plus a small piece of hand luggage as a personal accessory. Luggage must be placed in the areas designated by the company, and excess baggage may incur a surcharge under the current commercial policy.

Vehicles

The official booking system allows you to add a car, motorcycle, moped, van, trailer, caravan or motorhome. Always enter the correct dimensions and vehicle type during the purchase process. As is common on many short crossings, once on board it is not always possible to access your vehicle freely during the journey.

Pets

Formentera Lines accepts pets, but its conditions of carriage state that animals must travel in the designated areas of the authorised vessels. Guide dogs are permitted with the appropriate documentation. Always carry an up-to-date vaccination record, microchip documentation and current vaccinations, and follow the embarkation rules specified for carriers, leads or deck areas depending on the vessel.

During the high season, book in advance if you are travelling with a vehicle or a pet, as availability on certain sailings may be more limited.
