About this tour
When Tom from our team caught the express ferry from Corralejo to Lanzarote, it was a no-fuss 30-minute hop between islands. Ferries run daily, shuttling travellers north-to-south across the channel between two of the Canaries' most laid-back spots. The boat's straightforward — open deck or sheltered seating, WiFi onboard, and no drama with your board or bike. It's the kind of crossing that feels more like a practical island-hop than an event, which is exactly what you want when you're chasing better waves or a change of scenery.
Highlights
- Direct boarding with no queues, minimal admin hassle
- 30-minute crossing keeps sea time short and manageable
- Open and covered seating — pick your vibe mid-crossing
- Surfboards and bikes travel free, no equipment surcharges
- WiFi on deck, so you're not cut off from the world
- Multiple daily departures mean flexible timing
- 20kg luggage allowance per person takes the pressure off
- Restroom onboard, air-con cabin, small prams welcome
What to expect
You'll start in Corralejo, Fuerteventura's northern hub — a breezy, surfer-friendly town with a straightforward ferry terminal. Grab your boarding pass at the Lineas Romero office 15 minutes before departure (this step's mandatory, so don't skip it). Once aboard, the crossing unfolds quickly. If the swell's good, head topside; if wind's a factor or you want to work, the covered area has WiFi and proper seats. The half-hour flies — you'll watch the islands shift in the channel, spot the occasional fishing boat, and land at Playa Blanca on Lanzarote's southern tip. It's businesslike rather than scenic-cruise theatrics, which suits travellers who just want to get there.

Good to know
This ferry works brilliantly if you're island-hopping on a budget or chasing different breaks. No hidden fees for kit, the WiFi's genuine (not token), and the 20kg allowance per person covers most backpacks or cabin luggage. Families with prams, service animals, and mixed fitness levels all travel smoothly.
You must have a valid passport or ID — inter-island travel in Spain needs it, full stop. Weather can make the channel choppy in winter, so ginger travellers should brace for some roll. The boarding-pass swap 15 minutes before is firm, so don't arrive cutting it close. Peak summer can crowd the open deck. Not a luxury experience, but then it isn't positioned as one. Practical, reliable, gets you there.
