About us

canaryferries.com is an independent comparison and information site for ferry connections to and between the Canary Islands. It covers two layers of travel: the long crossing from mainland Spain, departing from Huelva and Cádiz, and the frequent inter-island links between Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. The routes are operated by several shipping companies, among them Naviera Armas, Fred. Olsen Express, Baleària and Líneas Romero.

The two layers work nothing alike, and that is what a plan has to account for. The mainland crossing is measured in days rather than hours and leaves only a few times a week, so it fixes the shape of the whole trip. The island hops run several times a day and are short enough to fit around an afternoon. Which port a route uses matters as much as which company runs it, because Santa Cruz, Los Cristianos, Agaete and Morro Jable sit far apart on their islands and each implies a different drive at the other end. We set out routes, ports, operators and journey times together, including what changes once a vehicle travels along.

What this site is not

canaryferries.com is an independent guide. We are not the official website of Naviera Armas, Fred. Olsen Express, Baleària or any other shipping company operating in the Canary Islands. We are not a Canary Islands travel guide and not a hotel portal: sights, hotel bookings, flights and car rental deliberately stay out of scope. The focus stays on the ferry crossings themselves.
