Has the time finally come to book your ferry ticket to the wonderful Island of Ustica ? With MrFerry you will find the best deals for you and your family!
The Island of Ustica is nicknamed The Black Pearl of the Mediterranean because of its dark, volcanic rocks that surround the island. The island is located off the coast of Palermo, in fact you can reach the city in no time thanks to the Ustica Palermo route.
The connection between Ustica and Palermo is provided by two shipping companies, Siremar and Liberty Lines, which manage to offer up to five daily departures, intensifying the number of runs in high season.
Siremar operates about seven connections per week with a duration of about three hours; it is possible to board vehicles with this company since they use conventional ferries.Liberty Lines on the other hand offers 14 departures per week with a duration of one hour and 30 minutes, in fact using hydrofoils, where it will not be possible to board any vehicles
As a reminder, for the month of August the movement of vehicles in Ustica is prohibited, only residents of the island will be able to transit with vehicles.
🐾 You may choose to travel with your pet, remember that if your pet does not exceed 10 kg it will have to travel in a pet carrier, if it is larger it must have a muzzle and leash. They will not be able to stay in the interior or dining areas of the ferry, but you will easily find areas located on both the outer and inner decks where your four-legged friends can also enjoy the crossing
