Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria Ferry: Ports, Shipping Lines and Booking
With Fred Olsen, Balearia
To get from Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria by ferry you leave from Morro Jable, in the south of the island, or from Puerto del Rosario, the capital. In both cases you arrive at the port of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
From Morro Jable the route is run by Baleà ria Canarias and Fred Olsen, with fast ships and daily departures. From Puerto del Rosario there is only an overnight Baleà ria ship, slower and with cabins.
From Corralejo, in the north, there is no ferry to Gran Canaria: the only ship from that port goes to Playa Blanca, in Lanzarote. To go to Gran Canaria you have to head south by road to Morro Jable.
Fuerteventura Gran Canaria ferry timetable
Below you can see the departures for your date, together and sorted by time. The first thing to decide is the port, because Fuerteventura has three and only two have a ship to Gran Canaria.
Morro Jable has the daytime departures, with two ferry companies. Puerto del Rosario has an overnight departure that does not sail every day of the week. If you search for "Fuerteventura" you see both options mixed together: always check the departure port before choosing.
There are no departures scheduled on this route in the coming days. You can travel on these routes:
Indicative schedules and subject to variation by the ferry company for operational reasons without prior notice.
Who runs the ferry from Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria
Baleà ria Canarias links Las Palmas with Morro Jable by fast ship and with Puerto del Rosario by an overnight ship with seats and cabins.
Fred Olsen runs only Las Palmas–Morro Jable. It has no line from Puerto del Rosario or from Corralejo.
So the real choice is this: if you leave from the south, you compare two ferry companies; if you leave from the capital, there is only one and it sails at night.
Baleà ria Canarias's line on this route came from the former Naviera Armas (now operated by Baleà ria) and is today run by Baleà ria Canarias.
Fuerteventura Gran Canaria ferry price
The price you see above is the lowest recent one. It is not the same at the two ports: the fast ship from Morro Jable and the overnight ship from Puerto del Rosario are different services, with different accommodation.
On the overnight ship the price changes mostly depending on whether you choose a seat or a cabin. On the fast ship, the ferry company, the time and whether you take a car weigh more.
Canary Islands resident discount on the Fuerteventura Gran Canaria ferry
Residents of the Canary Islands get a 75% discount on the fare between islands. It does not apply to the car, the pet or extras.
You can work out your resident price directly on I Love Ferry, at iloveferry.com/ferris, by switching on "Resident in the Canary Islands?" in the results search; the 75% applies to the passenger fare only.
- Residence is checked online; if that fails, a valid certificate of residence is needed.
- More information in Canary Islands resident discount.
Large family on the Fuerteventura Gran Canaria ferry
With a valid large family title, the discount is 20% (general) or 50% (special) on the passenger fare, and it adds to the resident discount. Guide: ferry with large family discount.
Fuerteventura Gran Canaria ferry with a car
You can take a car on both lines. You declare it when booking, with its dimensions, and the car cannot travel without a passenger. With a car, boarding closes earlier than on foot, so arrive with time to spare.
If the car is a hire car, ask the company first whether it allows it to be taken to another island: many forbid it. Once on board you cannot access the car deck: take what you need up to the cabin.
Fuerteventura Gran Canaria ferry with a dog
Both ferry companies accept dogs, with different conditions. With Baleà ria it is included in the booking, with the pet's boarding card and health card, and you choose between Pet&You (a mat next to your seat), a Pet Friendly seat with a carrier, calm kennels or a pet friendly cabin. With Fred Olsen there is a carrier of up to 10 kg, an outside Pet Room with a camera or a Pet Sofa, and a microchip is required.
On the overnight ship from Puerto del Rosario, the pet friendly cabin is the most comfortable. More in travelling by ferry with a dog.
Ports of Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria (Las Palmas)
Port of Morro Jable
Port of Las Palmas de G.C.
Which port in Fuerteventura to choose
Choose the port closest to where you are staying, not the one that seems most convenient on the map. Morro Jable is in the south, in JandÃa; Puerto del Rosario is on the east coast, in the centre; Corralejo is in the north. Between Corralejo and Morro Jable there are about two hours by car, so it is not worth crossing the island just for a ferry company.
If you go by bus or taxi, confirm how to get to the port before setting off: we do not have the public transport timetables of each municipality.
Arrival in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
The ship docks at the port of Las Palmas, in the La Luz area. Baleà ria has a free Ferry Bus on some departures, between the Oficina de la Fundación Puerto de Las Palmas and the Muelle Nelson Mandela / La Esfinge. It does not accept pets.
Fred Olsen has another bus from Parque Santa Catalina, but it is the link with Agaete, not with Fuerteventura: do not count it as part of this route.
Documents for the Fuerteventura Gran Canaria ferry
To board, a valid identity document for each passenger is enough. With a car, vehicle registration document, technical data sheet and insurance. With a discount, the large family title; residence is usually checked automatically, but bring your DNI or NIE.
I Love Ferry tips for going from Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria
- Look at the port, not the island name. Searching for "Fuerteventura" mixes Morro Jable and Puerto del Rosario; the first is fast and daytime, the second is overnight.
- To come back the same day, choose Morro Jable. The overnight ship is no good for a day trip.
- If there is a strong wind, the timetable or the ship may change. Leave a real mobile number and email in the booking: the ferry company notifies you there.
- Changes. Fred Olsen lets you change the date, time and route up to a year after purchase on most fares; with Baleà ria it depends on the fare. If you bought with us, write to us and we will handle it.
