Guide · Fuerteventura → Lanzarote

From Corralejo to Playa Blanca it is between 25 and 35 minutes by sea, with three ferry companies competing to take you. You will not find a made-up price here: you will find where the real one is.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask us.
If something is missing, ask us in writing and we will check it.
How long does the crossing take?
Between 25 and 35 minutes, depending on the boat and the company.
Who operates the route?
Three ferry companies: Fred. Olsen Express, Líneas Marítimas Romero and Naviera Armas. Between the three of them there are many departures a day.
Why don't you list the prices?
Because they change by season, by company and by ticket type, and publishing a figure we have not checked today would be misleading you. We link you to each company's website, which is where the real fare is.
Can I take the hire car?
The ferry companies accept vehicles on this route, but check the terms of your rental agreement: many companies do not allow the car to be taken off the island without authorisation.
Is it the same as the boat to Isla de Lobos?
No. Lobos is an islet 15 minutes from Corralejo, with its own permit and a different kind of boat: see it here.

Six pages covering the permit, how to get there and the crossing. Every fact with its source and the date we checked it. Free, and without asking for your email: we do not make you pay with your inbox.
Where each fact comes from
Checked, and dated.
We publish the source and the day we looked at it. If something changes and we have not updated it yet, this date tells you so.
- 01Ferry companies, duration and frequency
The three companies that cover the route, the 25–35 minute crossing and the frequency of up to about 25 departures a day come from the Corralejo–Playa Blanca route sheet on ferryguide.es, consulted on 26 September 2026.
- 02Fares and timetables
On each ferry company's official website. We do not publish third-party figures that we have not checked the same day: we would rather send you to the source than give you an old number.
- 03Vehicles on board
It depends on the ferry company and, above all, on your rental company's agreement. Check with both before putting the car on board.
Last checked: 26 September 2026. Official conditions may change without notice: always confirm with the official source before you travel.
