Denia to Ibiza Ferry: Timetable, Prices and Tickets
With Balearia · 1–4 per day · from 2 h 15 min
The ferry from Denia to Ibiza leaves from the city of Denia (Alicante) and arrives at the port of Botafoc in Ibiza town. Baleària is the only shipping company on this route, with sailings every day: in winter at 17:00, and in summer up to 4 sailings a day, the first at around 08:00. The crossing takes from 2 hours 15 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes, depending on the ship and whether it calls at Formentera.
A one-way ticket costs from €40 per person with I Love Ferry, official Baleària agent. The return day trip costs from €50 Monday to Thursday and from €60 Friday to Sunday. You can also travel to Ibiza by car, with your motorbike and with your dog. If you live in the Balearic Islands, apply your Balearic resident discount: 75% off the passenger ticket. Book with I Love Ferry 💙 and see the final price before you pay.
Denia to Ibiza ferry timetable
Yes, there is at least one ferry from Denia to Ibiza every day. In winter and at Easter there are fewer ships, and in summer up to 4 ferries a day in each direction. In winter there is usually one sailing a day, at 17:00, arriving in Ibiza at around 19:15. In summer there is a morning sailing at around 08:00, arriving at around 10:00, and another in the afternoon; on certain dates, more.
Timetables may change at the shipping company's decision, because of sea conditions or the weather. Below you can see the sailings for the day you choose.
Indicative schedules and subject to variation by the ferry company for operational reasons without prior notice.

| Departure from Denia | Days | Arrival in Ibiza |

Indicative timetables, subject to change by the shipping company for operational reasons without prior notice.
How timetables change throughout the year
The timetables on this route follow two rhythms. From November to May there is one sailing a day in the afternoon, at 17:00, which reaches Ibiza at dinner time. At Christmas the time changes: on 24 and 31 December the ship leaves at 15:00, so you arrive in Ibiza in time for dinner. In summer Baleària adds morning and midday sailings, and on the busiest days there are up to four in each direction. The early one, at around 08:00, is the one used by people spending the day in Ibiza and by those who want to make the most of the afternoon at the beach.
The return from Ibiza to Denia follows the same pattern: in winter it leaves in the morning, and in summer there are also afternoon and evening sailings. If you are going and coming back within a few days, check both dates at once in our search: you will see on a single screen which combination suits you best.
Baleària publishes its timetables by season and may change them at short notice: because of works in the port, sea conditions or a change of ship on the route. That is why at I Love Ferry the timetables on this page are read from the shipping company every day, and if your sailing changes after you book, Baleària will let you know by email and by SMS or WhatsApp on the mobile number you give in the booking.

Booking the outbound and return together has two advantages on this route. The first is that you see the total price of the trip in a single search and compare timetables in both directions. The second applies if you travel by car between 1 June and 30 September: with a return ticket, the shipping company takes care of the vehicle entry charge in Ibiza, and you do not have to do any paperwork. If you do not yet know when you are coming back, you can book just the outbound and buy the return later, also with I Love Ferry, with the Ibiza to Denia ferry.
How long the Denia to Ibiza ferry takes
| Ship | Approximate duration | When |
|---|---|---|
| Direct fast ferry | 2 h 15 min | Not every day |
| Conventional ferry | 3 h | Depending on the season |
| With a stop in Formentera | 3 h 30 min | Some sailings |
The fastest ferry from Denia to Ibiza is the Baleària fast ferry, which makes the direct crossing in about 2 hours 15 minutes. The average duration over the whole year is 2 and a half hours. The actual time may vary with sea conditions and wind strength. It is 124.1 km (64 nautical miles) from the Baleària terminal in Denia to the Botafoc quay.
Fast ferry from Denia to Ibiza
Yes, there is a fast ferry from Denia to Ibiza. It is the most sought-after ship on the route, because in a little over two hours it puts you in the port of Ibiza. Baleària's fast ferries on this line, such as the Eleanor Roosevelt or the Ramón Llull, are fast aluminium-hulled ships with numbered seats, a cafeteria and space for cars in the hold. There is not a fast ferry every day of the year: in winter the 17:00 sailing may be made by a fast or a conventional ship, depending on the shipping company's calendar. In the I Love Ferry search, each sailing shows you the ship and the duration before you pay.
What makes the crossing longer or shorter
The duration you see on your ticket is the expected one. The actual time depends on three things:
- The ship. The direct fast ferry takes about 2 h 15 min; the conventional ferry, about 3 hours.
- The stop. Some sailings call at Formentera, and the trip goes up to about 3 h 30 min.
- The sea. With a strong easterly or westerly wind, the ship slows down and arrival is delayed by 15 to 45 minutes. If the storm is severe, the shipping company may move the sailing to another ship or another time.
To work out what time you will be at your hotel, add to the arrival time about 20 minutes to disembark on foot and up to 30 minutes with a car, because vehicles leave the hold in order.
The Denia to Ibiza route month by month
This guide helps you choose a date. The weather figures are indicative averages; the sailings come from Baleària's timetables.
January and February. This is the quietest time on the route. There is one sailing a day, in the afternoon, and there are almost always places left, for cars too. The Mediterranean is cold (about 14 °C) and on some stormy days the sailing may be delayed or changed. It is a good time to get to know the Ibiza of the locals: villages without queues, almond trees in blossom in late January and February in the Santa Agnès valley, and very low accommodation prices.
March. Residents visiting family and the first tourists start to travel. The Fallas in Valencia fill some sailings of people travelling from the island to the mainland. There are still places almost every day.
April. Easter arrives, the first peak of the year. Book two or three weeks ahead if you are travelling with a car on those days. Outside Easter, April is an excellent month for walking around the island and for the coves, although the water is still cool.
May. Almost all the hotels, restaurants and beach clubs open, and the island gets ready for summer. A very good month to go without crowds and with good weather, at still low-season prices.
June. The vehicle entry charge starts (1 June) and demand and prices go up. The nights of San Juan (23 and 24 June) are celebrated all over the island. If you take a car, book a return so that the shipping company handles the charge.
July and August. High season. More sailings a day, but also more people: car places are the first to sell out, especially on outbound Fridays and return Sundays. The water is at about 25-26 °C and the sea is usually calm. Book one or two months ahead, and earlier still for the week of 15 August.
September. For many, the best month to go to Ibiza: the water is warm, there are fewer people than in August and prices gradually come down. The summer sailings continue for much of the month.
October. The big clubs close with their closing parties and the island regains its calm. The weather is still good for the beach. The day trip is still available in October, at low-season prices.
November and December. The winter timetable returns, with the 17:00 sailing. Over the Constitution Day long weekend and at Christmas many island families travel: if you go on those days, book early. On 24 and 31 December the sailing moves forward to 15:00.
Denia to Ibiza ferry prices
Denia to Ibiza ferry tickets cost between €40 and €65 per crossing. The final price depends on the time of year (winter or summer), the accommodation (Sirena, Neptuno or VIP) and whether you travel with or without a car. As there is only one shipping company on this route, the price is set by Baleària. The cheapest option will depend on:
- how far ahead you book;
- the date you want to travel;
- the offers available at the time;
- the discounts you are entitled to;
- the places left when you book.
| Travellers | Denia → Ibiza | Ibiza → Denia, resident (−75%) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 adult | €40 | €10 |
| 2 adults | €80 | €20 |
| Driver + car | €120 | €90 |
| 2 adults + 2 children + car | €220 | €115 |
Resident: the 75% is deducted from each passenger's ticket, not from the vehicle.
I Love Ferry tip 💙: book as far ahead as you can. Especially if you are travelling in the busiest months, from mid-June to mid-September.
How much it costs to take your car on the Denia to Ibiza ferry
It is one of the questions most asked on Google. With I Love Ferry, a driver with a standard car pays from €120 one way, and a family of four with a car, from around €220. What changes the car price most is the date: a Friday in August can cost double a Tuesday in May. Size also counts: a van or a car with a trailer pays more than a regular car, and a motorbike quite a lot less. If you are a Balearic resident, remember that your 75% is deducted from the passenger, not from the car.
How to pay less on the Denia to Ibiza ferry
- Search midweek. From Monday to Thursday the price is usually lower than from Friday to Sunday, for the day trip too.
- Check the price calendar. Above you have the lowest price for each day of the next 12 months. Sometimes moving the sailing by one day saves quite a lot, especially with a car.
- Apply all your discounts. Resident, large family, children: the search adds them up and shows you the final price before you pay.
- Check the current offers. At I Love Ferry we publish all of Baleària's offers for this route, with their conditions and end date.
- Choose your accommodation well. The Butaca Sirena is the cheapest, and for a two-and-a-quarter-hour trip it is more than enough.
Denia to Ibiza day trip
Yes, you can go to Ibiza and come back to Denia on the same day. The return day trip costs from €50 per person Monday to Thursday and from €60 Friday to Sunday with I Love Ferry, official Baleària agent. It is a special Baleària offer with very limited places: book ahead so you do not miss out.
| Price per person, return | Monday to Thursday | Friday to Sunday |
|---|---|---|
| Low season (April, May, June and October) | from €50 | from €60 |
| High season (July, August and September) | from €60 | from €80 |
Day trip with a car: 2 adults + car, from €99
This is a special Baleària offer that only appears on some dates. Search for it on your date; if it does not appear, it is not available at that moment.
Prices from the last campaign with a car
| With a car | Low · Mon–Thu | Low · Fri–Sun | High · Mon–Thu | High · Fri–Sun |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 adults | €150 | €170 | €169 | €229 |

| 5 adults | €300 | €350 | €349 | €469 |
How to make the most of your day in Ibiza
With the early sailing you reach Ibiza at around 10:00 and have almost the whole day ahead of you, until the return in the afternoon. We suggest three plans, depending on how you travel:
On foot, Ibiza town. From the Botafoc quay, you can reach the centre in a few minutes by taxi or bus. Go up to Dalt Vila, the walled old town and a World Heritage Site: enter through the Portal de ses Taules, walk the streets up to the cathedral and come down through the Marina district, the fishermen's quarter, full of shops and terraces. In the afternoon, a swim at Talamanca beach, a few minutes from the port, and back to the ship.
By car, the coves. The day trip with a car is an offer that is not always available, but when it appears it is the best way to see the island in a day. In half an hour you are at the beaches of Ses Salines, in the south, or at Cala Llonga and Santa Eulària, in the east. Leave the port as soon as you disembark and come back with an hour to spare.
As a family, beach and a stroll. With children, the most comfortable option is to stay close: Talamanca for a swim, lunch at the port and a walk around Dalt Vila at sunset, when the heat eases.
Remember: if the return ship leaves at a specific time, arrive at the Botafoc terminal at least 45 minutes before on foot, and 90 minutes before with a car.
Ferry to Ibiza offers
Baleària's offers change throughout the year: summer discounts launched in winter, campaigns with a car, Black Friday and last-minute offers. Each offer on this page says when it ends, and when it finishes we remove it. If an offer interests you, check its conditions before booking: some do not allow changes or refunds and others cannot be combined with other discounts. If you subscribe to the I Love Ferry newsletter, we will let you know about new ones as soon as they come out.
Denia to Ibiza ferry with a car
The ships from Denia to Ibiza have holds for almost any vehicle. With Baleària you can take a car, motorbike, bicycle, van, caravan, motorhome and also your electric scooter.
| Standard car + driver | from €120 one way |
| Motorbike + rider | from €70 one way |
| Van + driver | from €150 one way |
| Arrival at the port | 90 minutes before |
Vehicle entry charge in Ibiza
On 21 May 2025 the Consell Insular d'Eivissa approved the Vehicle Entry Regulation Charge. It affects all vehicles arriving in Ibiza by ship from 1 June to 30 September:
- Return ticket: the shipping company handles the process and the cost of the charge.
- One-way ticket: the shipping company only processes the day of arrival; you manage the rest at ibizacircular.es.
- Motorbikes and mopeds: no paperwork needed.
More information at travel to Ibiza by car.
Boarding with a car in Denia, step by step
- Arrive 90 minutes early at the vehicle boarding area of the Baleària terminal. In summer, a little earlier is better.
- Have your ticket and ID to hand for all passengers. At the access control they ask for your boarding pass, printed or on your phone.
- Wait in the lane you are shown. The port staff organise the lines by size and destination.
- Enter the hold slowly and park where they direct you. Apply the handbrake, leave the car in gear and switch off the engine and the alarm.
- Go up with what you need for the trip. During the crossing you cannot go down to the hold. Take water, a jacket and the children's things.
- When you arrive in Ibiza, wait for the announcement over the speakers to go down to the car. Cars leave the hold in order.
Only the driver enters the port with the car; passengers may also do so, depending on the port, or board on foot. If you travel with a caravan, motorhome or trailer, give the exact measurements when booking: the price and the space in the hold depend on them.
Is it worth taking your car to Ibiza?
It depends on the trip. For a week in a house or in an inland village, taking the car usually works out cheaper than renting one on the island in summer, and you travel with as much luggage as you like. For a short break in Ibiza town or San Antonio, on the other hand, you can get around well by bus, taxi or rented motorbike. Also bear in mind the vehicle charge from 1 June to 30 September, which is handled automatically if you book a return.
Balearic resident discount
If you live in Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca or Menorca, you get a 75% discount on the final passenger price on the Denia to Ibiza ferry.
| Balearic resident discount | 75% |
| Discounted price | from €10 one way |
| Does it apply to the car? | No, passenger only |
| Documents | Residence certificate + DNI or NIE |
| Can it be combined with large family? | Yes, up to 85% in total |
Key point: the resident discount does not apply to the vehicle, but it does add up with the large family discount: up to 85% off in total, an advantage few people know about.
Large family discount
| General large family (3 children) | 20% discount |
| Special large family (4 or more children) | 50% discount |
| Does it apply to the car? | No, passenger only |
| Documents | Valid official certificate or individual card + DNI |
| Can it be combined with resident? | Yes, up to 85% in total |
How to apply your resident discount with I Love Ferry
When booking, tick "Balearic resident" in the search. In each passenger's details, enter the DNI or NIE: the shipping company checks residency in the Ministry's system, and if everything is in order, the 75% is applied automatically. If the check is not automatic, take your certificate of residence (empadronamiento) to the Baleària ticket office before boarding. The discount is valid for travel in both directions, from Ibiza to Denia and from Denia to Ibiza, and for all ships on this route.
Children and families on the Denia to Ibiza ferry
Baleària's ferries are adapted for travelling with children:
- Under 2: free, without taking a seat.
- Ages 2 to 11: 50% discount.
- Children's play area, baby-changing facilities and baby amenities.
- Children's menus in the restaurant and priority seating for families.
Tips for travelling with children
- Choose the sailing with them in mind. The early summer one arrives mid-morning and leaves the whole day on the island; the 17:00 one, in winter, arrives at dinner time.
- Bring the pushchair. It travels free, and on board there are lifts between the decks.
- Bring something to keep them entertained. Two and a quarter hours pass quickly with a story, a tablet or some time in the play area.
- If someone feels seasick, sit in the middle of the ship, on the lowest deck, and look at the horizon. Eat something light before boarding.
- Documents for minors. Spanish children travel with their DNI or the family book; minors travelling without their parents need authorisation.
Denia to Ibiza ferry with a dog
Baleària accepts dogs, cats and other pets on the ships from Denia to Ibiza. Passengers with animals board and disembark last, for safety. On this route there are no cabins, so you have two options:
- Carrier: your pet travels with you in a carrier of 60 x 40 x 30 cm at most.
- Calm huts (casitas de calma): an equipped area of the ship, with ventilation and space to walk your dog.
Requirements: health documents in order, vaccinations, microchip, and a lead or harness when boarding and disembarking. Pay for your pet's ticket when you book. A dog can never be left in the car.
If on your trip you do not want to be apart from your dog overnight, the Valencia to Ibiza ferry has pet-friendly cabins. Full information at travelling by ferry with a dog.
With your dog in Ibiza
Ibiza has beaches where dogs are allowed, such as Es Faralló, near Platja d'en Bossa, or areas of Cala Llenya, but in summer almost all beaches ban them. Check with the local town hall before you go. Take water and a bowl for the wait at the port: in summer, the asphalt at the terminal gets very hot.
On board: luggage and accommodation
Luggage
On the Denia to Ibiza ferries there is no luggage limit: you just have to be able to carry it on board yourself, in one go and without help. Baleària's ships have lockers and spaces to leave it during the crossing.
Accommodation
The accommodation depends on the ship you get. On the fast ferry Eleanor Roosevelt you can choose between three seat types and two private lounges. Seats are numbered and your place appears on your boarding pass.
On this route there are no cabins: on a two- or three-hour trip, a seat is the most practical. If you want a cabin, travel from Valencia or Barcelona.

Timings. On foot, arrive 45 minutes before; with a car, 90 minutes before.
Port of Ibiza: arrival guide
Where you arrive. The Denia ferry docks at the Botafoc quay, on the other side of the bay of the port of Ibiza, opposite Dalt Vila. It is the quay for Baleària's ferries to the mainland and to Palma.
To the centre. On foot, about 20 minutes along the seafront promenade. By taxi, about 5 minutes; there is a rank at the terminal exit. The city bus links Botafoc with the centre.
To other parts of the island. By car, you go straight onto the Ibiza ring road and in about 20 minutes you are in San Antonio, Santa Eulària or at the airport.
To Formentera. Boats to Formentera leave from the Maritime Station in the centre, not from Botafoc: allow for the transfer.
Timings. On the way back to Denia, on foot 45 minutes before; with a car, 90 minutes before.
What to see in Ibiza when you arrive by ferry
Ibiza is much more than partying. The island has 210 kilometres of coastline, more than fifty coves and an interior of white villages and almond fields. These are our recommendations, ordered by distance from the port.
Dalt Vila and Ibiza town. A short walk from Botafoc. The walled city has been a World Heritage Site since 1999, together with the coastal posidonia, the Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta and the Puig des Molins necropolis. Go up to the cathedral to see the port from above and come down to dine in the Marina district.
Talamanca and Ses Figueretes. The town's beaches. Talamanca, next to the Botafoc quay, has fine sand and calm waters: perfect for a first swim as you get off the ship or for waiting for the return.
Ses Salines and Es Cavallet. In the south, about 15 minutes by car. They are inside the Ses Salines Natural Park, with its salt ponds, dunes and clear waters. In summer, go early: the car park fills up.
San Antonio and the sunset. On the west coast. Its sunset promenade is the most famous place on the island to say goodbye to the day. Nearby are Cala Conta and Cala Bassa, two of the most photographed.
Es Vedrà. The rocky islet opposite Cala d'Hort, in the south-west. From the Cala d'Hort viewpoint, at sunset, you get one of the best-known views in the Mediterranean.
Santa Eulària and the north. The quietest Ibiza: seafront promenade, the Puig de Missa with its white church, and coves such as Cala Llonga, Cala Nova or Cala Sant Vicent. On Wednesdays, the hippy market at Es Canar, and on Saturdays, the one at Las Dalias, in Sant Carles.
The interior. Santa Gertrudis, Sant Joan and Santa Agnès are villages of white houses, carob fields and restaurants serving Ibizan cuisine. Try the sofrit pagès, the bullit de peix and the flaó, the cheese and mint pastry.
And if you have time left, Formentera is half an hour by boat from the port of Ibiza: you can book the Trasmapi Ibiza – Formentera with I Love Ferry, official Trasmapi agent.
Before boarding: what to see in Denia
If you reach Denia with time to spare, it is worth staying a few hours. The castle, above the city, has views of the port and of Montgó. The Baix la Mar district, the fishermen's quarter, has coloured houses and good rice dishes. South of the port, Les Rotes is a rocky coastline with clear water for snorkelling; to the north, Les Marines are kilometres of sandy beach. Denia is a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, and its best-known product is the red prawn. A few kilometres away is Jávea, where our I Love Ferry office is 💙.

Ramón Llull
Fast ferry with Butaca Sirena, Butaca Neptuno and VIP, cafeteria and a hold for cars. Its name pays tribute to the Mallorcan philosopher and writer of the Middle Ages.
Traveller reviews of the Denia to Ibiza ferry
"Honestly, I expected more from Balearia. The level of improvisation is surprisingly high for a company that’s supposed to be so good. I can’t even imagine what the others must be like. The best thing they have are the modern ships and the crew. But they are very disorganised."
"We travelled as a whole family by ferry from Denia to Ibiza in August and we loved the facilities and the crew on board. Very kind and attentive at all times. We were able to bring everything we needed for a large family. We’ll definitely do it again."
"To be honest, it was the best option to enjoy Ibiza. Even though we had to get up early to board the ferry, we arrived in no time. Very comfortable and fast. The crossing was brilliant! My friends and I have wonderful memories of Baleària."
I Love Ferry 💙 tips for Denia to Ibiza
We are an agency in Jávea, a few kilometres from the port of Denia, and this is the route we know best. Here are our tips depending on how you travel.
If you are spending the day. Book the day trip in good time, because places are very limited. Check the price calendar: Monday to Thursday is cheaper. Take just a backpack and do not plan anything far from the port if you are on foot.
If you go by car in summer. Book a return: that way the shipping company handles the Ibiza vehicle charge. Car places are the first to sell out; on Fridays in July and August, a month ahead or more. Arrive 90 minutes early.

By plane, the flight from Valencia is short, but you have to add the trip to the airport, security control and the wait.
