Ferries to the Island of Elba: the Blu Navy shipping company

Blu Navy on the Piombino-Portoferraio route

Since summer 2010, alongside the two historic ferry companies operating between Piombino Marittima and the Island of Elba, a third company, Blu Navy, has joined the route.

Blu Navy operates up to 16 daily sailings throughout the year between Portoferraio and Piombino.

The ferries on the Elba route: Acciarello and Tremestieri, are twin ships each capable of carrying up to 1,000 passengers and 230 vehicles. Thanks to the double command bridge, all vehicles can board and disembark simultaneously in under 30 minutes.

During winter, the ferry Vesta is in service.

Aethalia is the newest ferry in the fleet, which entered service in 2025.

Tickets for Blu Navy ferries can be purchased online or directly at the ticket offices located in Piombino, inside the Maritime Station and, during the summer season only, in Piazzale S. Allende SNC; in Portoferraio at Calata Italia, no. 22/23.

By purchasing a round-trip ticket, significant savings are always guaranteed compared to the one-way fare.

Residents, natives of Elba, and groups are entitled to a discounted fare. Residents and commuters can also take advantage of the monthly pass offer.

Blu Navy applies a flexible pricing policy based on demand fluctuations.
