Route guide

Motril to Al Hoceima: a direct ferry to Morocco’s Mediterranean coast

Baleària currently publishes the Motril–Al Hoceima crossing at approximately five hours with four weekly sailings. It is a useful alternative for travellers heading to Morocco’s Rif coast without first driving west to the Strait of Gibraltar.

Cars, motorcycles and other bookable vehicles can travel on the route. Because this is an international crossing, compare the sea journey together with check-in, immigration, customs and any vehicle-entry formalities at both ports.

Compare the total journey rather than only the headline fare: departure time, arrival time, vehicle cost, accommodation, port formalities and onward travel can materially change which sailing is best.

Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.

If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect the final timing.
