In early 2003 Balearia, the popular Spanish operator serving the Balearic Islands, created the Nautas Al Maghreb ferry company to offer crossings from Tangiers in Morocco to Algeciras in southern Spain. Nautas Al Maghreb seeks to offer quality maritime communications on the Algeciras toTanger ferry route. It is aimed at Moroccan citizens living in Spain and intended to enhance the commercial relationships between the region of Tangier and Europe.
Nautas Al Maghreb has put together a super fast ferry fleet specifically designed for this crossing, and that provide a wide range of entertainment services so that your trip across the Strait of Gibraltar becomes a real pleasure. Onboard facilities include lounges with comfortable seats, cafeterias and shops. The crossing takes under an hour on average.
