Fuerteventura Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Boat

Five weekly ferries link Puerto del Rosario and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, while faster jetfoils speed between Morro Jable and Las Palmas.

There are boats between Puerto del Rosario and Arrecife on Lanzarote, but you’re better off taking one of the regular ferries that make the 25-minute crossing between Corralejo and Playa Blanca in Lanzarote’s south.
