Palma to Mahón ferry with Trasmed: few sailings, half a day
With Trasmed · from 6 h
To get from Palma to Mahón (Maó) by ferry there is only one ferry company: Trasmed. It leaves from the port of Palma and arrives at the port of Mahón, in Menorca, on a longer line linking Menorca, Mallorca, Ibiza and the mainland.
It has few sailings a week and is a long crossing, taking half a day. First see which days have a ship and plan the trip around that date.
If you need another day, the alternative is to drive to Alcudia, about 55 km, and cross to Ciutadella with Baleà ria or Menorca Lines; after that it is about 45 km to Mahón.
Balearic residents get a resident discount on the passenger fare, not on the car.
