One of the four new eco fast ferries built for Baleària.
Connecting the Balearic Islands of Ibiza and Formentera, Eco Aire is a 28 m length passenger ferry ready to carry up to 350 pax. Stable and maneuverable even at its maximum speed of 28 knots, Eco Aire has been built with a specially optimized hull, equipped with side conducts in order to displace water from the waves during navigation, reducing sea-sickness, lessening vertical acceleration and increasing the comfort of passengers and crew.

In addition, this eco fast ferry has been designed focusing on eco-efficiency, incorporating photovoltaic solar panels which supply up to 8 Kw of the necessary energy for onboard services.
