Route guide

Plan your ferry from Pantelleria to Trapani

The Pantelleria to Trapani crossing connects Pantelleria and Trapani in Italy. This route is part of the Sicily & Pantelleria ferry network.

For a departure from Pantelleria, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Pantelleria’s main port is beside the island’s principal town. Vehicle travellers can continue directly onto the island road network, while foot passengers can arrange local buses, taxis or hire vehicles.

On the other side of the crossing, Trapani is your arrival port. Trapani is the mainland departure point for Marettimo. Fast services can be direct or make an intermediate island call, so compare the advertised arrival time rather than assuming every sailing takes the same route.

Compare the Pantelleria departure and Trapani arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Pantelleria to Trapani result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Trapani may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Pantelleria to Trapani fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
