Elba is reachable by ferry by embarking at Piombino on one of the two companies (Toremar and Moby Lines) ferries. These ferries provide a comfortable trip with hourly departures. In only one hour the ferry covers the nine kilometers which separate the island from the continent, arriving safely at the harbors of Portoferraio or Rio Marina.
There is however, an alternate route for pedestrians only, by taking a fast hydro float boat which reaches Portoferraio in only 30 minutes.
