Which port for which island
Table of Contents
Fuerteventura is 100 kilometres long, and the ferry ports sit at either end. Corralejo in the north is the port for Lanzarote and the Isla de Lobos, Morro Jable in the south the port for Gran Canaria and Tenerife. Puerto del Rosario, the capital in the middle, has the overnight ferries and the mainland line. If you're changing islands, plan the journey to the right port first.
Lanzarote from Corralejo
The La Bocaina strait between Corralejo and Playa Blanca is the busiest ferry route in the Canary Islands. Fred Olsen Express sails in 25 minutes with Bocayna Express and Buganvilla Express, up to 13 departures a day. Líneas Romero sails the Don Juan in 25 minutes, five times a day. Baleària Canarias takes 35 minutes with the Volcán de Tindaya, seven departures. All three carry vehicles, all year round. Details on Ferry Lanzarote - Fuerteventura.
Gran Canaria from Morro Jable
The fast connection to the neighbouring island: 105 minutes to Las Palmas with Fred Olsen Express (Betancuria Express, Barlovento Express) or Baleària Canarias (Mercedes Pinto, Volcán de Tagoro, Volcán de Taidía), together four to six departures a day, all year round. If you're continuing to Tenerife, you can connect in Las Palmas to the Baleària ferry to Santa Cruz, or take the bus to Agaete for the fast ferry. Both routes to Gran Canaria in detail: Ferry Gran Canaria - Fuerteventura.
Tenerife from Morro Jable
Baleària Canarias sails direct to Santa Cruz de Tenerife twice a day, around four hours, with a car deck. It's the shortest connection between the eastern islands and Tenerife; the alternative via Gran Canaria is only faster with the fast ferry from Agaete, and needs the bus change. Day and overnight ferry in detail: Ferry Tenerife - Fuerteventura.
Overnight ferries from Puerto del Rosario
From the capital, Baleària Canarias runs the large ships: to Las Palmas in around six hours, five days a week, to Santa Cruz de Tenerife in around ten hours, and once a week to Arrecife in two and a half hours. All three have cabins and suit motorhomes and travellers with plenty of luggage; departures are usually in the evening.
From the mainland via Cádiz
Puerto del Rosario is a stop on the Baleària line from Andalusia: around 32 hours from Cádiz, one or two departures a week, with cabins, a car deck and pet areas. Terminal, check-in and booking are explained on the route page Cádiz - Fuerteventura.
Isla de Lobos from Corralejo
The small island off Corralejo is a nature reserve. Naviera Nortour and Ferry Isla de Lobos cross in 15 minutes, together seven departures a day in season; Ferry Isla de Lobos also runs occasional sailings from Morro Jable, Costa Calma and Caleta de Fuste. Visiting requires a free permit from the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, and visitor numbers are limited. There are no cars on Lobos.
Taking your car on the ferry
The car comes with you on every route from Corralejo, Morro Jable and Puerto del Rosario. With Baleària Canarias the rule is: 90 minutes before departure at the terminal with a vehicle, 60 minutes without. Fred Olsen Express and Líneas Romero ask for your number plate when you book. With a rental car, check the rental terms, as many rental firms on Fuerteventura explicitly rule out driving to Lanzarote. For a day trip to Playa Blanca the car is unnecessary anyway, as the town sits right by the port.
