Timetables for Elba Offers for Elba

Flag of an island

Blu Navy was founded in 2010 as an Italian shipping company operating in the cabotage and passenger and freight transport sector. By opening the first connection between Piombino and Portoferraio, Blu Navy is a young company that has made itself the embodiment of a specific need by rapidly growing in the quality of its service. In a short time it has become a true symbol of the Island of Elba.

WHAT GUIDES US

OUR COMPASS

The company’s commitment and spirit have enabled it to forge links with associations and private investors, to collaborate with maritime professionals who know the sea well, and to create synergies with the entire Island of Elba.

A dedication that confirms Blu Navy’s objective: to offer a shipping service that is always pleasant, punctual and close to the people.

FROM BEGINNING TO END

ALWAYS AVAILABLE

We work every day to ensure that every passenger can share a comfortable, convenient and safe journey with us.

To achieve this, on-board assistance is always available and, until a few minutes before boarding, you can consult our live chat for information, purchases and ticket changes.

WE'RE BLU NAVY, NICE TO MEET YOU

MUCH MORE THAN A CREW, A FAMILY.
