Why Corralejo?
Corralejo, on the northern tip of Fuerteventura, is the Fuerteventura-side terminal for the island hop to Lanzarote. It is a resort town in its own right, and the same four operators – Fred Olsen Express, Naviera Armas, Balearia and Líneas Marítimas Romero – run the crossing to Playa Blanca that they run in the other direction, with the same short journey time of around 25 minutes by fast craft or 35 minutes on conventional ferries.
Combined, the four operators offer one of the densest ferry timetables in the Canary Islands on this route: a live check on 17 August 2026 found 32 sailings per direction on that single day, and daily totals of 30 or more crossings are typical.
Terminal & Location
The ferry terminal is within Corralejo itself, close to the town centre and harbour front. As an established resort town, Corralejo has plenty of restaurants, shops and accommodation within easy reach of the port, so there is no need to build in a long wait before or after your crossing.
Operators from Corralejo
The same four companies that serve Playa Blanca operate the Corralejo side of the crossing:
- Fred Olsen Express – fast catamarans, the quickest crossing at around 25 minutes.
- Naviera Armas – the largest Canary Islands ferry operator.
- Balearia – a major Spanish operator also on this route.
- Líneas Marítimas Romero – a smaller, local operator.
Isla de Lobos
Corralejo is widely known as the gateway to the Isla de Lobos nature reserve, a small uninhabited island lying just off the coast to the north. It is a popular day-trip destination for visitors based in either Corralejo or Playa Blanca, and its proximity is one of the reasons Corralejo draws holidaymakers beyond those simply passing through on the ferry.
Onward Travel from Corralejo
Arriving in Corralejo puts you at the northern end of Fuerteventura, with the island's beaches and dune landscapes to explore. Heading the other way, the crossing to Playa Blanca delivers you to Lanzarote's southern resort area, with the rest of the island easily reached by road from there.
