Ferryhopper provides real-time ferry travel data covering routes, schedules, pricing, and port connectivity worldwide. It enables searching for available ferry trips between destinations and discovering which ports have direct connections.

Core Capabilities

Trip Search: Find available ferry trips between two locations on a specific date. Returns detailed itineraries with departure/arrival times, vessel names, operating companies, accommodation options with pricing, vehicle and pet policies, e-ticket availability, and direct booking links. Locations are specified by name (city or port name), not codes.

Port Directory: Retrieve an extensive list of global ports with country information and unique port codes for reference.

Connection Discovery: Find all ports directly connected to a given departure location. Accepts location names or search terms to discover which destinations are reachable by direct ferry service.

Domain Model

Trips contain segments with departure/arrival ports, times, vessel details, and available accommodations (deck, cabin types) with per-person pricing. Each trip result includes a deep link to the booking flow on Ferryhopper's website. Marketing companies (shown to users) may differ from owner companies (used in booking flows).

Usage Notes

Dates must be in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD). Use natural location names rather than port codes for searches. Vehicle options and pet policies vary by route and operator.
