Where is Charak port?
Charak lies on the northern shore of the Persian Gulf. OpenStreetMap has an unnamed ferry-terminal node at 26.724162, 54.283713, about 968 m from the town centre (secondary source, retrieved 2026-10-13). We found no reliable official postal address, so we give none. Search the navigator for Charak port and follow the port signs; if it leads you into town, enter the coordinates.
Road distance from cities
Computed with the open OSRM router from city centre to Charak centre on 2026-10-13, without traffic or stops. Bandar Abbas: 278.2 km, about 223 min. Shiraz: 523.6 km, about 411 min. Isfahan: 923.4 km, about 692 min. Tehran: 1358.3 km, about 963 min. We have not computed Bandar Lengeh and give no guessed figure.
Services and arrival times
Two separate services leave Charak: the car landing craft and the passenger ferry, each with its own ticket and schedule. A secondary source (1404) puts the landing-craft crossing at about two hours; check the portal for your trip. Per the official portal, be at the port one hour before departure as a passenger and 30 minutes before with a car; loading can delay departure by up to 45 minutes. Carry valid ID, and pay the island entry toll at the origin gate (otherwise it is collected at Kish on return); the portal does not state the amount.
Parking and taxis
No official information on parking or a taxi rank at Charak port was found, so we state no capacity or price. A car on the landing craft is loaded aboard. If you want to leave the car at Charak, ask Kish Ports before travelling.
