Default Urgent information Request Gibraltar-Morocco

We are traveling to Spain in January and will be visiting Gibraltar. We also want to cross to Morocco, but have not found any web sites with information on Winter crossings or any with pricing for passenger tarifs. We only want to go to Tangier.
Please anyone who knows of websites please let me know
Also, we are looking for an apartment/flat or condo for a weekly stay for 5 people.
Thank you
Christopher

A quick Google for "Gibraltar ferry" leads you to

http://www.trasmediterranea.es/horari0i.htm The most popular route is from
Algeciras to Tangier. Not sure if you can actually get a ferry from
Gibraltar these days.

Additionally the bus from La Linea (just across the Gibraltar border
crossing in Spain) to Algeciras is fairly frequent, costs a couple euro, and
takes about half an hour.

This is a hydrofoil to Ceuta, if I remember correctly.

Maybe as well?
I've often used the straight ferryboat Tarifa/Tangiers.

again, thanks to everyone who has answered my query. I have actually written to Transmediterranen since the web site does not indicate "which ferry" and the schedule of 30 minutes over and 4 hours back does not make any sense either. Also we want to know if their prices are round trip (or if they have a special price for round trip) or if they are one way.
Thanks again
Christopher

There is a time zone change. The regular ferry is 2+ hours and the hydrofoil
is less than 1 hour (theoretically 35 minutes).

No special round-trip fare that I'm aware of. The one way is about 20-25
euros.

They have not updated their website, the Gib - Tangier
service no longer runs.

Its more economical to bus the passengers to Algeciras.

A time zone change of two hours between Spain/Morocco?

Sometimes, I guess - I don't think they do daylight savings time in Morocco.
