The ferry from Fuerteventura to Lanzarote is probably the fastest ferry available between the Canary Islands, given the proximity between the two islands.
Taking a ferry between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote is recommended even if you are on one of the two islands and want to take a trip to the other, either for the day or for a couple of days.
For example, if you’re in Fuerteventura and take a ferry to Lanzarote in the morning with a return ticket in the evening, you could visit the natural beaches in the south of Lanzarote like Playa Papagayo, or visit some of the 16 things to see in Lanzarote; or join an organized tour like this one that takes you from Fuerteventura to see the wine and volcanic regions of Lanzarote, with the ferry already included, or finally, tour Lanzarote with a dune buggy tour.
On the other hand, if you’re in Lanzarote, you could head to Fuerteventura to experience walking in the desert at the Corralejo dunes, or take a guided tour of northern Fuerteventura with the ferry included.
Where to Take the Fuerteventura Lanzarote Ferry
If you’re departing from Fuerteventura, the ferry departs from the port of Corralejo, in the north of the island. Other interesting options from Corralejo include ferries to Isla de Los Lobos, a small uninhabited island (but rich in natural beauty) very close to Fuerteventura.

If you’re departing from Lanzarote, you’ll need to head to the port of Playa Blanca, the southernmost urbanization on the island.
What to Pay Attention To?
If you’re taking the ferry with a rental car from one of the islands, make sure in advance that the insurance of your rental agreement covers travel between different islands.
Most car rental companies do not typically include ferry crossings, so if you plan to take ferries, contact the company ahead of time to arrange for a different policy if they offer it. You can read my guide to major car rental companies in the Canary Islands.
