Plan your ferry from Ajaccio to Sète

The Ajaccio to Sète crossing connects Ajaccio and Sète in France.

For a departure from Ajaccio, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Ajaccio’s ferry terminal is on the city waterfront beside the historic centre. It is a convenient ferry point for western Corsica, with road connections towards Propriano, Porto, Corte and the island interior.

On the other side of the crossing, Sète is your arrival port. Central Sète is easy to explore on foot, while rail, road and cycle links connect the city with Montpellier, the coast and the Étang de Thau.

Compare the Ajaccio departure and Sète arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Ajaccio to Sète result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Sète may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
