Common Doubts

Frequently Asked Questions about Schedules

Do I need to book a specific departure or return time?
No. The ticket is valid for any available crossing — you don't need to select a specific time during checkout. Simply arrive at the orange ticket booth at Santa Pola port in advance and board the departure that suits you best.
How far in advance should I be at the port?
In April, May, June, September, and October, 10 minutes in advance is sufficient. During peak season (July and August), we recommend arriving 15 to 20 minutes before departure, both from Santa Pola and Tabarca.
Which departures are the busiest?
The busiest outbound departures from Santa Pola are at 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. For returns from Tabarca, the 4:45 PM crossing is usually the most crowded. To avoid crowds, try choosing the midday departures.
Can I return on a different day than the outbound trip?
Yes. Your ticket is valid for all days and times from March 2nd until October 31st. If you buy today and decide to return tomorrow or any other day this season, your ticket remains valid.
Can schedules be modified?
Yes. The company reserves the right to modify schedules due to technical issues or adverse weather conditions. To confirm departures before heading to the port, you can contact us via WhatsApp at +34 623 526 591.
What do the asterisk (*) departures mean?
Departures marked with an asterisk (*) are operated by a fast catamaran. They have limited capacity and schedules may change based on demand and weather. We recommend confirming availability before your visit.
Is it recommended to buy tickets online?
Yes, always. Booking online ensures you travel with Catamaran Nueva Tabarca, guarantees your spot (arriving with recommended notice), and saves time at the port. Additionally, the online price is lower than at the ticket office.
