About the Las Palmas – San Sebastián de La Gomera crossing
The Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to San Sebastián de La Gomera ferry, operated by Naviera Armas (Armas Trasmediterránea), links the busy capital of Gran Canaria with the quiet port capital of La Gomera in the western Canaries.
An indirect western crossing
There is no simple point-to-point boat between these islands. Gran Canaria and La Gomera are not neighbours, so the service is effectively an island-hopping route that runs via Tenerife. Depending on connections, scheduled journey times range widely, from around 4 hours 50 minutes on the quickest combinations up to about 7 hours 30 minutes. Treat this as a multi-leg conventional ferry rather than a direct sailing.
Frequency and timing
- Departures: generally several days a week, with morning and midday sailings from Las Palmas.
- Vehicles: cars, motorcycles, vans and motorhomes are carried on the Armas ferries used on these legs.
- Onboard: lounges, reclining seats, cafeteria service and, on longer legs, cabins.
The ports
Sailings leave from the Port of Las Palmas and arrive at the Port of San Sebastián de La Gomera, a compact harbour beside the island capital and a short walk from its old town. San Sebastián is the main gateway for La Gomera's laurel forests, the Garajonay National Park and the island's hiking trails.
Because the routing depends on a connection through Tenerife, always check whether your ticket involves a change of vessel, the layover time and the total duration before you travel. Vehicle space on the western islands is limited, so book early in high season. Schedules shift through the year, so verify the sailing days and times close to your departure date.

Getting to & from the ports
Frequently asked questions
Is there a direct ferry from Las Palmas to San Sebastian de La Gomera?
Not really. Gran Canaria and La Gomera are not neighbouring islands, so the Naviera Armas service is an indirect route that connects through Tenerife. You may need to change vessel along the way.
How long does the journey take?
Scheduled times vary widely with the connection, from about 4 hours 50 minutes on the fastest combinations to around 7 hours 30 minutes. Check the total duration and any layover before booking.
How often do the ferries run?
Sailings generally operate several days a week, with morning and midday departures from Las Palmas. Frequency changes by season, so confirm the current timetable.
Can I take a vehicle to La Gomera on this route?
Yes. The Naviera Armas ferries carry cars, motorcycles, vans and motorhomes. Vehicle space in the western islands is limited, so reserve early, especially in summer.
Where does the ferry arrive on La Gomera?
It arrives at the Port of San Sebastian de La Gomera, next to the island capital. It is a short walk to the old town and a convenient base for reaching Garajonay National Park and the island's hiking trails.
Will I have to change ferries?
Possibly. Because the routing goes via Tenerife, some tickets involve a change of vessel and a layover. Always check whether your booking is a single through sailing or a connection.
How much does a ticket cost?
Ticket prices vary by operator, season and whether you bring a vehicle. Check the operator (Naviera Armas) for current fares.

Does the ferry run all year?

What's the luggage allowance?
Foot passengers can normally bring their own luggage aboard at no extra charge, with racks or a luggage area near the entrance, and there is usually no airline-style weight limit. Oversized or excess items may carry a fee, so check with the operator if you are travelling with bulky baggage.
