Since 2022 it has operated under this commercial brand within the Insotel Marine Group, focusing its regular activity on the connection between Ibiza and Formentera with fast ferries designed for crossings of around 30 minutes, year-round sailings and a distinctive approach built around mobility between the Pityuses islands and marine sustainability initiatives.

The Formentera Lines regular network revolves around two key ports: Ibiza town and La Savina. These are the embarkation and disembarkation points for its daily connection between the Pityuses islands.
Formentera Lines publishes several fare reductions and commercial benefits on its website and through its customer loyalty club. In addition to one-off promotions, the operator offers discounts according to passenger profile.
Promotional conditions, the documentation required to claim reductions and the compatibility between different discounts may change. Always review the fare shown during the booking process before payment.
As a fast ferry operator for half-hour crossings, Formentera Lines is not oriented towards cabins or long stays on board. The experience is built around quick passenger berths and fares tailored to very specific demand profiles.
Prices vary according to the season, occupancy, sailing time and how far in advance you book. During high-demand periods such as summer and bank holidays, it is advisable to book as early as possible, particularly if you are travelling with a vehicle or require specific timetable slots.
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.
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.
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.
