About the Rudkøbing Havn (færge) – Marstal Havn (færge) crossing
Marstal Havn on the island of Ærø is reached from Rudkøbing on Langeland island by a 50-minute crossing. The domestic Danish service is operated by ÆrøXpressen A/S. There are seven sailings every day, with the first departure at 07:40 and the last at 20:00.
This direct ferry provides a significant shortcut compared to driving. Without the ferry, the road journey between the two towns would involve using the Svendborg to Ærøskøbing ferry, adding considerable distance and time.
