If you are going to spend several weeks or a longer period in mainland Spain, travelling from the Canary Islands by ferry allows you to have your own car with you during your stay. With Baleària Canarias, you can take your vehicle on board and, once you arrive in Cádiz, continue by road to your destination.

It is a practical option if you want to travel between different places, visit family or take your belongings with you. Before booking, check availability for your vehicle on the ferry connections from the Canary Islands to Cádiz and check whether your itinerary includes a change of ship or port.

If you meet the requirements for the Canary Islands resident discount, the 75% reduction applies to the eligible passenger fare, not to the total amount of the booking. With Baleària Canarias, you can request it when booking journeys between the islands or between the Canary Islands and mainland Spain, in either direction.

Vehicle transport, taxes and ticketing or administration fees are not covered by this discount. If you are travelling with a vehicle, it is therefore worth checking the price breakdown so you can distinguish the passenger fare from the other charges. Check the conditions for the Canary Islands resident discount before completing your purchase.

Yes. On Baleària Canarias ferries with cabins, you can book a private space to sleep during the crossing. Availability depends on the vessel, the sailing and the remaining spaces, and you can check it when choosing your journey from the Canary Islands to mainland Spain.

If you are spending the night on board, a cabin gives you somewhere to lie down and rest in greater privacy. All cabins have a private bathroom, while their capacity and features vary depending on the vessel. Check the types of cabins available with Baleària Canarias to see which option best suits the people travelling with you.

If you travel with a car on Baleària Canarias, you can leave your suitcases inside the vehicle and take a bag with you containing anything you will need during the journey. You will not be able to access the vehicle deck where your car is parked while the ferry is sailing.

Before leaving your car, take your documents, medication, mobile phone, chargers and valuables with you. On a long crossing, it is also useful to keep a change of clothes and toiletries to hand. This way, you can get settled on board without taking all your luggage with you. Find out more about taking luggage in your car.

If your journey from the Canary Islands includes a connection, check where the first leg ends and which port the next one departs from. On some Baleària Canarias itineraries, you need to change ships and also travel overland between two ports on the same island.

Before booking, check how much time you have for the transfer, how you will make it and which tickets you need to complete the journey. If you are travelling by car, make sure it can be taken on board for every leg; if you are travelling as a foot passenger, confirm which overland transfer applies to your booking. For connections with mainland Spain, check the instructions for combined journeys between the Canary Islands and Cádiz and follow staff instructions during your journey.

Yes. Baleària Canarias offers an open return ticket option, which allows you to leave the return date undecided when you book. If you do not yet know how long you will be away from your island, check whether this option is available for the journey you are planning.

Once you decide when to return, you will need to request a date and confirm your place before travelling, subject to availability. We recommend arranging this in advance, especially if you need to return on a specific day. See how the open return ticket works for details of its validity and the steps for setting your return date.

Baleària Canarias is backed by a shipping group with more than 25 years of experience in maritime transport. The group has been connecting the Balearic Islands for years and also has experience operating services between the United States and the islands of The Bahamas.

In the Canary Islands, the group has connected the archipelago with mainland Spain since late 2018. Baleària Canarias' expansion into inter-island services is more recent, dating from 2026, and builds on that previous experience. We know that for people who live on an island, the ferry is also a way to visit family, travel with their car or get to work.
