Malta Gozo Ferry: Live Timetable, Vehicles and Travel Checklist

Last checked: 15 August 2026. Rules, services, prices and timetables can change; confirm the relevant official source before acting.

What to know before you act
Vehicle and foot travel differ
The journey planning, ticketing and queue needs can differ depending on whether you travel with a vehicle.
Do not copy a timetable
A blog timetable becomes wrong when the operator changes a sailing or posts a notice.
