La Maddalena Archipelago boat trips. Departure from Santa Teresa.
Palau La Maddalena ferry with car
On the Palau Maddalena ferry you can embark with cartrucks, motorhomes, motorbikes and bicycles. There are approximately 390 passenger spaces and the garage has about 90 places between cars and trucks.
Holiday passenger cars as well as courier and freight trucks are loaded onto the ferry.

Are 90 places a lot or a few? It depends. During the high season - July and August - I recommend buying your car ticket early, especially if you have connections to catch with buses, trains or planes. That way you can be sure of boarding.

The crossing takes about 20 minutes. It is possible to enjoy the crossing on the open-air decks or take shelter indoors in case the weather is not favourable. A bar service is available during the crossing.

To embark with your car, you must arrive 15-20 minutes before the departure time and stand in the embarkation area as you will be instructed by stewards at the port

We recommend that you bring coins for the machine as it does not accept cash cards.

I would like to know if it is possible to bring a dog
Yes, it is possible to take a dog on board. Remember the leash and muzzle 🙂 🙂
Good morning,
from the 8.30 p.m. ferry to the destination is Enzo D. What do you mean?
thank you
Hi Patrizia,
Enzo D. is the name of the ferry. You can see it written on the 'side' of the ferry.
Hi if I board the car. can I get a return ticket the next day?
Do I have to buy the ticket online or can I buy it there?
You can also buy tickets in the maritime station
Muss ich das online Ticket ausgedruckt mitbringen oder reicht es auf dem Handy?
A steal 42.50€ for 2 adults and a 4m car resident in Sardinia. And the lady even made the joke that there was a.discount for everyone. It's normal that tourists run away.
Good morning, I have a ticket purchased on 20/09/2023 for the trip La Maddalena - Palau scheduled for 25/09/2023. I only now read that the date on the ticket is 20 September, and not 25 September. However, on the back of the ticket it says 'valid for the current year'. S
Does this mean that I can actually use that ticket for 25 September?
Bonjour,
nous souhaitons venir sur Maddalena fin octobre depuis Palau, avec une voiture, afin de rester trois jours sur place.
Peut-on traverser tous les jours à cette saison, et avec une voiture ? Ou seulement le week-end ?
merci beaucoup pour votre retour
