At the ticket office, a few questions can help you plan your crossing.
The idea
Ask ¿a qué hora sale? for the departure time and ¿va a la isla? for the destination. Request a billete de pasajero or an ida y vuelta ticket.
Examples
- ¿A qué hora sale el ferry para la isla?What time does the ferry to the island leave?
- El próximo ferry sale a las diez y media.The next ferry leaves at half past ten.
- ¿Este ferry va al puerto del norte?Does this ferry go to the northern port?
- No, llega al puerto del sur.No, it arrives at the southern port.
- Quisiera dos billetes de pasajero para mañana.I would like two passenger tickets for tomorrow.
- ¿Cuánto cuesta un billete de ida y vuelta?How much is a return ticket?

No Spanish device voice is available. You can still read the text.
Watch out
Do not confuse sale (leaves) with llega (arrives): they refer to different moments.
