Shipping company €€
1/5
1 review

One of the main shipping companies for the transport of passengers and vehicles between Tuscany and Elba, more precisely between Piombino and Portoferraio. The trips last 1 hour and are numerous during the day with two ships providing the connections to avoid unnecessary waiting. It is possible to reach the upper deck by car and to make the crossing in your own vehicle, an important asset. It is highly recommended to buy tickets on the website, to benefit from promotions and to avoid waiting in line.
