Balearia History

Balearia was established in June 1998 with 16 founding partners and 126 workers. It is owned and founded by Adolfo Utor. In 2005, Balearia merged with Umafisa, owned by the Matutes family, with Utor remaining the majority shareholder. He now stands as the sole shareholder, as of 2021.

The company initially focused on routes connecting Denia to Ibiza and Formentera, quickly establishing itself as a reliable option for their travellers. From the outset, the company has been committed to new technologies, constantly improving the fleet and opening new lines. They are continually looking to improve services to better the customer experience.

Balearia Sustainability

Balearia takes pride in their sustainability efforts and shows this through different means. Balearia is a pioneer in using LNG as a fuel source for its vessels, significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional marine fuels. This shift helps to minimise air pollution and contributes to cleaner seas.

Onboard, Balearia has implemented waste management systems on its vessels to promote recycling and reduce waste. They encourage passengers to participate in recycling initiatives during their journeys. The company has also adopted practices to minimise single-use plastics and promote the use of eco-friendly materials onboard.

A very pleasant crossing between…

A very pleasant crossing between Spain and Algeria. The departure was on time, and the staff on board were welcoming, helpful, and professional. The overall quality of service was very satisfactory, offering good value for money. The catering could be slightly improved, but it was still acceptable. Overall, we were very happy with our experience.

Our crossing was unfortunately disappointing.…

Our crossing was unfortunately disappointing. There were clearly too few sanitary facilities for the number of passengers. The toilets that were there were partially flooded and generally unclean. The first-class seats also fell short of expectations. Several electrically adjustable seats were broken. In rougher seas, many things rattled throughout the ship, reinforcing the impression that it was quite old. I found it particularly concerning that, in my opinion, more vehicles were allowed on board than was reasonable. In some cases, even restricted areas and escape routes were used for parking, which I consider a safety hazard. Given the high fare, I felt the value for money was not acceptable. On the positive side, the staff deserves special mention: all employees were very friendly and helpful and understood our concerns. It's a shame, therefore, that the ship's condition overshadowed the otherwise excellent service provided by the staff.
