About the Arrecife – Puerto del Rosario crossing

The Arrecife to Puerto del Rosario ferry joins the capitals of the two eastern Canary Islands, carrying travellers from Lanzarote's low white-washed port town across to the harbour capital of Fuerteventura. It is a working island-hop used by locals, cyclists, road-trippers and campervan travellers exploring both islands, and it lands you directly in a city centre rather than at a distant resort marina.

Operators and ships

The direct link is handled mainly by Naviera Armas (Armas Trasmediterranea), whose ro-pax vessel Ciudad de Valencia carries around 605 passengers and up to 240 vehicles with cabins, lounges and a cafeteria on board. Fred. Olsen Express also runs the crossing, and Lineas Romero operates in the corridor, so departure choice varies by day and season.

How long it takes

The direct Arrecife to Puerto del Rosario passage runs roughly two and three-quarter hours with Fred. Olsen and around three hours with Naviera Armas, the range reflecting the different vessels rather than the distance. Frequency is modest and seasonal, so this is a route to book ahead rather than turn up for.

Good to know

  • Full vehicle decks take cars, motorbikes, campers and trucks, ideal for a two-island driving trip.
  • Both terminals sit in the island capitals, so you arrive close to shops, buses and accommodation.
  • Travellers in a hurry sometimes use the shorter northern hop between Playa Blanca and Corralejo instead, then drive down to Puerto del Rosario, but the Arrecife line is the direct capital-to-capital option.

Pick this route if you want to link the two island capitals directly, or if you are moving a vehicle between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
