How do I take the car ferry from Kish to Aftab port?

Who is Aftab for?

Our data shows car-ferry trips between Kish and Aftab in both directions, but no passenger-only service for Aftab. Without a car, the usual way to the coast is the passenger ferry to Charak; ask the official portal if you need to confirm.

Time and cost

A secondary source (1404) gives about 1 hour 30 minutes and a reference round-trip fare of about 4,200,000 toman for an ordinary car. It is old and secondary. Today's price, capacity and times are on the official portal only.

Documents and rules

The list below comes from a secondary source (1404); the official portal also requires valid ID. Confirm with the port operator before departure.

Limits to know

The same secondary source says commercial and public vehicles (taxis, vans, buses) and some old models may not enter Kish, and a non-resident's car may stay at most ten days with a daily late fine of about 100,000 toman. These rules can change, so confirm with the port operator or the free-zone authority.

Per the official portal, island fines and over-stay charges are collected at the Kish port gate on exit.
