How to get to Elba

During the summer season car ferries leave from Piombino to Portoferraio almost hourly. There are also daily ferries to Cavo and Rio Marina. The shipping companies are Toremar, Blu Navy, Moby Lines and Corsica Ferries. The crossing from Piombino to Portoferraio takes one hour (30 minutes with Corsica Ferries).

A hydrofoil service (no cars), which arrives only in Portoferraio and Cavo, takes 35 minutes.

Our hotel offers all those booking with us the opportunity to purchase Blu Navy ferry tickets at very competitive prices. The ticket, made through the travel agency Ilva Viaggi, will be sent you by email or post.

Otherwise, if you cannot find the time that suits you in the Blu Navy timetable, you may compare the prices of all shipping companies and purchase your ticket directly through our online booking system with no booking fee payable (route Piombino-Cavo excluded).
