Booking your ferry tickets is simple. Enter your departure and arrival ports along with your preferred travel date to view all available sailings and prices. You can also compare alternative routes and departure times to find the option that best suits your schedule and budget.

Keep an eye out for early booking promotions, cabin upgrades, or flexible ticket options that allow you to amend or cancel your booking. To avoid issues later, ensure that all passenger details, vehicle information, and contact details are entered accurately at the time of booking.

Collecting your ferry tickets from Potosi port

After completing your booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your travel details. The process for receiving your boarding pass depends on the ferry operator.

Some operators issue boarding passes immediately upon confirmation, while others require passengers to check in at the port terminal. Where available, online check-in can be completed easily through the Direct Ferries app.

Ticket desks are generally located close to the ferry terminal entrance. To prevent delays, we recommend arriving early to allow sufficient time for ticket collection and check-in procedures.

At check-in, you will need to present your booking confirmation along with a valid photo ID such as a passport or identity card. If traveling with a pet, relevant documentation (vaccination records, pet passport, insurance) may also be required. Passengers using resident discounts must provide proof of eligibility.

Why are there no ferries available on the date I want to travel?

There may be several reasons why no sailings appear from Potosi to La Union on your chosen date.

Potosi Guide

Potosi Ferry Port

Situated on the south west coast of Nicaragua, Potosi is a small port town used to connect passengers with El Salvador. The only ferry route departing the port is to La Union and is supplied by Ruta Golfo, lasting around two hours.

What is there to do in Potosi?

What Potosi lacks in size it makes up for in warmth, character and simplicity. The only activity revolves almost entirely around the port and many who visit are only passing through, yet when it comes to finding a place to wind down after the stress of travelling, Potosi is ideal. There is only one place to stay in the town, Hospedaje Brisas del Golfo, that can get very busy in the height of tourism so could be worth trying to book ahead. Fortunately, it is found very close to the port and oftentimes the staff will liaise with the local fishermen to help you arrange your sailing. There are some low-key budget cafes and food joints scattered about the town, usually serving authentic food at incredibly cheap prices. After enjoying some of the local cuisine, it is worthwhile just walking around the peaceful town to embrace the relaxed nature.

How do you get around Potosi?

The town is so small that is more than possible to cover the entirety of it by foot, alternatively there are motorcycle transfers at cheap prices, though they can sometimes be dangerous.
