Algeciras to Tangier Med: frequent ferries across the Strait

Baleària currently promotes the Algeciras–Tangier Med crossing at about 1 hour 30 minutes, with up to 12 daily departures on busy schedules. The short sea time does not remove the need for international border and vehicle formalities at both ends.

This route is especially useful for motorists continuing through Morocco. Compare the sailing time with check-in, immigration, customs and onward road time, and make sure you have selected Tangier Med rather than Tangier Ville.

Compare the total journey rather than only the headline fare: departure time, arrival time, vehicle cost, accommodation, port formalities and onward travel can materially change which sailing is best.

Even on Algeciras to Tangier Med, fares and vessel assignments can vary by departure, so compare the live options rather than relying only on a typical journey time.

For Algeciras to Tangier Med, the advertised crossing time is only one part of the journey. Allow for port access, check-in, boarding and disembarkation when deciding which departure best fits the day.
