Document requirements differ by route, so check what you'll need well before departure. Travelling from Al Hoceima to Sete generally calls for a valid passport, plus any visa or national ID your nationality requires. Since rules depend on both your citizenship and your destination's regulations, our Check-in, Travel Documents & Tickets guide is a good place to check the details and avoid delays at check-in.
Getting your tickets is simple — enter your departure port, arrival port, and preferred travel date to see every fare and sailing available. From there, you can compare alternative routes and departure times to land on the best option for your trip.
Watch for early-bird pricing and flexible ticket formats, such as upgrades or flexi-fares that allow later changes or cancellations. Enter your details accurately, including passenger count and vehicle information, to keep your booking process smooth.
A confirmation email lands in your inbox the moment your booking is finalised. How your boarding pass gets issued from there depends on the specific ferry operator.
Certain operators release your boarding pass right after booking; others want you to check in once you reach the port. Where available, the Direct Ferries app lets you check in online ahead of time.
Ticket desks sit near the ferry terminal in most cases. Give yourself extra time before departure to collect your tickets and complete check-in without stress.
You'll need to present your confirmation email plus valid photo ID — a passport or identity card — at check-in. Pet owners should bring vaccination and insurance paperwork, and anyone using a resident discount should have proof of address on hand.

Located on the northern edge of the Rif Mountains in Morocco, the city of Al Hoceima lies on the Mediterranean Sea coast and is the capital of the Taza-Al-Hoceima-Taounate region. The city, located on top of cliffs, overlooks two coves, one is a beach (Plage Quernado) and the other is the commercial port. The grid of wide streets in the city make it an easy city to navigate round. Boulevard Mohammed V parallels the edge from the Spanish College at one end to Place du Rif at the other and is where many facilities and restaurants can be found.
The city's port is home to many fishing boats that fish locally and is an important link in the city's tourism infrastructure. The port is always busy with locals and visitors who are able to hire local boats for trips or for fishing. A particularly pleasing site in the crystal clear waters are the many types of dolphin that can be seen swimming around the bay. This is also a popular reason for many boat trips.
The French town of Sete lies on the cost of the Mediterranean Sea, around 30 km from Montpellier, and is sometimes referred to as the "Venice of Languedoc". The town's coastal and canal location is part of its charm and visitors to Sete will find a number of good restaurants, busy streets and visitor attractions to enjoy. If you head down to the St. Louis Pier you will be able to see yachts entering and leaving the harbour and fishing boats unloading the day's catch. The town was built on the sides of Mont St. Clair, between the Thau Lagoon, the Sea and the canals, and is one of the largest ports on the Mediterranean Sea coast. In Sete, there is a lovely mixture of scents from the Sea and the garrigue (Mediterranean scrubland) in the air.
From the town's port, ferries depart to Nador, Tangler Med and Barcelona.
