There is no better app for ferries in Greece

these guys are really cornering the market with a fantastic App that covers everything and makes repeated Bookings easier and easier and tracking the ferry with notifications, et cetera great job Guys

Absolutely unreliable and horrible service

They will sell you insurance and then refused to change your flight. We were forced to pay for an additional ferry ticket and now have to fight for a refund for the insurance and the ferry.

Arnaque ! J’ai perdu 57 euros le service client est zéro

J’ai acheté 4 billets pour une traversée bateau en Indonésie. J’ai payé 57e. Je me suis présenté au guichet sur le port comme indiqué et l’agence n’a jamais retrouvé mes billets sur leurs listes. J’ai fait tout les guichets du port, rien. J’ai appelé le service client, aucun remboursement. J’ai du racheter des billets sur place. A fuir

Épilogue : j’ai finalement été remboursé donc c’est long mais ils ont été honnête il faut le reconnaître aussi

Bonjour, Nous sommes sincèrement désolés pour cette situation extrêmement stressante lors de votre embarquement en Indonésie. Dans notre système, votre réservation apparaît pourtant comme correctement confirmée et validée. Comme nos équipes vous l'ont déjà indiqué, nous sommes actuellement en contact étroit avec la compagnie maritime afin de comprendre ce qui s'est passé au guichet et déterminer l'origine de cette erreur. Soyez assuré(e) que nous suivons ce dossier de très près. Dès que la compagnie aura clarifié la situation, notre service client reviendra immédiatement vers vous concernant votre remboursement. Merci pour votre patience, L'équipe Ferryhopper

Aucun support

Après annulation du trajet en bateau silence de Ferryhopper. Jamais personne ne nous a répondu malgré 3 contacts. On attends toujours une solution de leur part.

Poor customer service

If your ferry gets cancelled there is NO customer service. No one answers the phone it just hangs up. No notification. Nothing good luck to you

Awesome

Very simple and immediate

App directed me to the wrong ferry terminal.

Bought tickets for 2 people and a car. In the app it clearly states “departure port only has one terminal - View on Map”. This directed us to the wrong end of the port where this ferry doesn’t even leave from. We had to figure it out our selves the actual
Port
Was nearly 2 miles away

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you for your rating. I’m sorry to hear about the confusion you experienced with the port directions. We take feedback like this seriously, and we want to look into the map information you saw so we can help prevent a repeat. The port and terminal details in our app are provided by the ferry companies, and sometimes local signage or layouts can cause mismatches. If you can share your booking details and the specific route and time through chat, we’ll investigate the listing and update any guidance as needed. Kind regards, The Ferryhopper Team

Super übersichtlich

Bin begeistert, kurz, klar und deutlich.

Hallo, Vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung! Schön, dass dir unsere klare und kurze Kommunikation zugesagt hat. Beste Grüße, Das Ferryhopper Team

Incredibly frustrating user experience

Ferryhopper’s website has one of the most frustrating booking interfaces I’ve dealt with.

We spent an absurd amount of time simply trying to figure out how to change the age of a passenger. On the web version, this crucial setting is buried inside a dropdown menu that is incredibly easy to miss. If passenger age is important enough to affect the ticket and booking process, WHY would you hide it in an obscure dropdown instead of making it immediately visible and obvious?

This is basic UI/UX design. Important information should be easy to find, not turned into a scavenger hunt.

The worst part is that I actually missed out on buying a ticket yesterday because of this ridiculous interface. By the time we finally figured out where the age setting was hidden, it was too late.

The UI needs a complete overhaul. A ferry-booking service should make purchasing a ticket quick and straightforward, especially when people are dealing with schedules and limited availability. Instead, Ferryhopper managed to turn something as simple as changing a passenger’s age into an incredibly frustrating waste of time.

Schlechtester Service bei Umbuchungen.

Kein Support, keine Anpassung, Erstattung nicht möglich. Direkt beim Fährenanbieter buchen.

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid, dass Sie unzufrieden sind. Ferryhopper ist ein offizielles Buchungsportal. Wir helfen Ihnen bei Terminänderungen und Stornierungen jederzeit gerne weiter – sind dabei jedoch strikt an die jeweiligen Stornierungs- und Umbuchungsbedingungen der Fährgesellschaften gebunden. Eigenständige Erstattungen außerhalb dieser Reeder-Richtlinien dürfen wir nicht vornehmen. Kontaktieren Sie bitte unseren Support mit Ihrer Buchungsnummer, damit wir Ihren Fall prüfen können. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Ihr Ferryhopper-Team

Misleading information

They send you information on where to pick up tickets and it's not correct. I'm sure selling ferry tickets is nothing new, why do these companies behave as if they started running the business as week ago?

Poor notification and organization

Caught the ferry Athens to Sifnos return, they changed the return time so I had to buy tickets for the earlier ferry and lose 50% of my original booking amount. The bigger problem though is the notification on the ferry can be displayed on the screen in multiple languages rather than a mumble announcement same for getting on, install few screens at the ports rather than multiple people yelling what the next ferry will be.

Thank you for your feedback! We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the schedule change and the port experience. To clarify, ferry operators independently manage schedules and may adjust them due to weather or operational reasons, and port facilities are run by local port authorities. As a booking platform, Ferryhopper does not alter schedules or manage port installations—our role is to notify passengers as soon as the ferry company informs us of a change. We completely agree that clearer announcements onboard and information screens at the ports would greatly improve the passenger experience, and we will gladly forward your feedback to the ferry operator and relevant port authorities. Best regards, The Ferryhopper Team

Useful app. Yet another AI slop service

Booking ferries through here works well, but pray you dont need support. This is yet another app forcing you to argue with a useless chatbot just to get a basic question answered (and of course the bot is useless and incompetent). Id rate this 5 stars if there wasnt a forced AI support feature, but I refuse to rate anything above 1 star when customer service is reduced to a useless cost reduction in place of interest of customer wellbeing slop service. If you need customer support you will not get it. You will get a virtual moron and be expected to like it.

Dear Traveler, Thank you for your candid feedback and for rating your booking experience highly despite your frustration with our support system. We hear you loud and clear, and we understand why running into an automated system when you need help feels exasperating. We would like to clarify why automated tools are implemented and how human support remains central to our operations: The primary goal of our automated system is to immediately answer routine, instant-lookup requests without forcing travelers to wait in a queue. During peak travel seasons, thousands of passengers contact us daily. Automated routing exists to handle repetitive administrative queries so that our human support team is freed up to resolve complex issues—such as emergency date changes, cancellations, and payment investigations—that require personal intervention. AI and automated bots are never intended to replace human agents or reduce our commitment to customer care. Every complex ticket request is handled and reviewed by our dedicated human support agents. We apologize that your interaction with our support portal felt like a barrier rather than a help. We are constantly working to refine our system to ensure that users needing human assistance are transferred to our team as quickly and seamlessly as possible. Best regards, The Ferryhopper Team

Dropped off to wrong port

Booked a direct ferry ride from Salerno Italy to Praiano Italy. Got there on time show the ticket to attendant and got on the ferry. Ferry skipped Praiano and dropped me off at Positano. Ferry attendant just told us to take a bus which we walked up hill 20 minutes just to see a packed bus with no room. We ended up taking a taxi which was 70 Euro per person. I reached out to ferry hopper but still only AI response with no human reaching back to us.

Why force to create an account?

Why force to create an account? It’s not necessary to compare the prices or book tickets.

Friendly App

I am pleased with the app’s functionality. The process of purchasing tickets through this app is remarkably straightforward. I didn’t encounter any difficulty while purchasing two round trip tickets. I would highly recommend this app .

Response from developer

Dear Traveler, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a smooth experience purchasing your round-trip tickets and that you find the app so easy to use. Knowing that the process was completely hassle-free for you is the best feedback we could ask for. Thank you for your high recommendation, and we look forward to helping you plan your next trip! Safe travels, The Ferryhopper Team
