Departure and arrival ports
Ferries depart from Dénia's Estación Náutica (also called "Baleària Port"), at Moll de la Pansa s/n, a free shuttle boat called La Panseta connects the town centre to the terminal if you're on foot. In Ibiza, ferries dock at the Botafoc pier, about a 10-20 minute walk from Dalt Vila, the historic centre.
When to book your Denia to Ibiza ferry
Arrive at least 60 minutes ahead on foot, or 90 minutes ahead with a vehicle. Book well ahead in summer, when this route is in high demand.
Travel tip: ask specifically for the direct sailing
Since some sailings detour via Formentera and the difference is roughly double the crossing time, always check that your selected departure is the direct one if speed matters to you.
