Between Morocco and France, the port of Sete

The town of Sète is located in the south of France, 100 km from Montpellier. The port of Sète is a major fishing, trading and transport center. http://www.sete.port.fr/fr/passagers/cars-ferries/bienvenue-au-port-de-sete

The port of Sète, in the Hérault region of France, is the only French port serving Morocco, with two regular ferry lines running daily to Morocco (Tangiers and Nador), and the second-busiest port in terms of passenger traffic. We'd like to give you some useful information to help you plan your trip.

To get to Morocco by ferry, from France, there are two possibilities: the Sète Tangier crossing and the Sète Nador crossing, with the new company GNV (GRANDI NAVI VELOCI). These routes to Morocco are still the most popular for travelers wishing to go to Morocco from France, which is why it's a good idea to book your boat tickets as soon as possible directly on https://www.bladia.com. Please note that there are no crossings from Marseille to Morocco! Unfortunately, many travelers have had the unfortunate experience of discovering this once they've arrived!

Since the launch of Sète - Tangier and Sète - Nador, demand for these routes - the only ones to link France directly to Morocco by sea - has grown steadily. The company operates between one and several departures a week, depending on the time of year, with a booking website at www.baldia.com.

The average ferry journey time for the SÈTE-TANGER crossing is 36 hours, giving you a journey time of almost a day and a half, while for the SETE-NADOR crossing it's 28 hours. It's true that the crossing time may seem long compared with other routes, such as the ALGECIRAS-TANGER crossing, which takes less than an hour, and the ALMERIA-NADOR crossing, which takes less than 7 hours. But don't worry, the fleet's cabins are well equipped to make your trip a pleasant one, with several halal restaurants on board, snacks, a cafeteria, and you can even book your meal tickets when you go to www.Bladia.com and pay 30% less. You can also take advantage of the on-board swimming pool, a cinema room and a children's playroom, and last but not least a prayer room.

What's more, the construction and inauguration in 2010 of the new Port Tanger Med has considerably facilitated maritime transport in the region! Indeed, Tanger Med is designed to facilitate the simultaneous docking of several ships and ferries, thus reducing the waiting time required by the old liner queue before boarding. And unlike the old Port of Tangier, the time taken to complete administrative formalities has been greatly reduced thanks to the efforts of the local authorities.

Good news, too, for those traveling with their own vehicles (camper vans, cars, motorcycles, etc.): there's no longer any need to pass through Spain to reach Morocco. And yes, taking the Ferry Sète Tanger allows them to dock directly at the foot of the new freeway to Casablanca and for the Ferry Sète Nador allows them to dock on the magnificent Mediterranean coast all along the sea with a beautiful landscape.

The port of Sète is ideal for a relaxing boat trip to Morocco, where your vacation begins right on board. Don't hesitate to book your vacation in advance. Go directly to our site and book your trip! See you soon
