Ferries in the Balearic Islands come in a few different types. Here's how they differ, and the operators that run them. For more on how fast ferries work, see our high-speed ferry types guide.
| Ferry type | Core design / hull style | How it works | Best used for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Catamaran (e.g. Balearia Margarita Salas) | Two parallel hulls connected by a wide main deck | Broad-beam stability and powerful waterjets let it glide over the waves | Island-hopping routes with high passenger and vehicle volume |
| Trimaran (e.g. Balearia Eleanor Roosevelt) | Three hulls: one slender central hull flanked by two small outriggers | Cuts straight through waves instead of riding over them, sharply reducing roll | Open-ocean channels prone to heavy, rolling swell |
| Fast monohull ferry (e.g. Trasmapi Formentera Jet) | A single streamlined hull driven by high-power engines or waterjets | Crosses at speed while still carrying foot passengers, and often vehicles | Short and mid-length coastal hops where speed matters |
| Conventional ferry (e.g. Balearia Cecilia Payne) | A single displacement hull built for capacity and stability | Cruises at a steady speed with room for cars, freight and foot passengers | Longer or year-round crossings, and any route carrying vehicles |

| Balearia | Alcudia, Ciutadella, Formentera, Ibiza | Conventional ferry & Catamaran & Trimaran | from 29 min |
