Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to Puerto del Rosario Ferry: the Night Ship
With Balearia · from 6 h
The ferry from Las Palmas to Puerto del Rosario is an overnight Baleà ria Canarias service. It leaves from La Luz port, in Gran Canaria, and arrives at Puerto del Rosario, the capital of Fuerteventura. It does not sail every day of the week.
The crossing is long, several hours, and the ferry has seats and cabins with a bathroom. It is not the option for a day return trip: for that, take the fast ferry to Morro Jable.
Fred Olsen does not run this route; only Baleà ria operates it.

I Love Ferry tips for the overnight ferry to Puerto del Rosario
- Check that your date has a ferry. It does not sail every day and, in the opposite direction, it sails on other days.
- Cabin if you sleep, upper seat if not. A standard seat for a whole night is tiring.
- Take up to the cabin what you need. Once under way you cannot get to the car deck.
- If you are heading north or south, allow for the drive after arrival: Puerto del Rosario is far from Corralejo and from Morro Jable.
- For a day trip, the fast ferry to Morro Jable is better.
