Currently, there are 3 different ferry services between Sicily and Malta, coming from Pozzallo and Catania in Sicily, and the final ferry service from Italy comes from the port of Salerno.

there are many different sail times in the ferries to Malta, such as the shortest route available from Pozzallo in Sicily, which only takes an hour and 45 minutes, as well as the longer routes from Catania, which take longer, between 4 and 7 hours. There is also the ferry from mainland Italy, which has a sail time of 26 and a half hours.

There are different sail times for each of the different ferry routes – the most frequent ferry is from Pozzallo, which sails 12 times a week, with the ferry from Italy only sailing once a week. It is highly recommended that you check your sail times before and after you book your tickets.
