Puerto del Rosario to Arrecife Ferry: Baleà ria Weekly Route
With Balearia · from 2 h 15 min
The ferry from Puerto del Rosario to Arrecife is operated by Baleà ria Canarias. It links Puerto del Rosario, the capital of Fuerteventura, with Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote, on an overnight crossing of about two hours, according to its website.
It is a line with few sailings: Baleà ria indicates one sailing a week, so first of all check that your date has a ferry. It takes a car and has seats and cabins.
To cross between the two islands by day, the ferry is a different one: from Playa Blanca to Corralejo, with Fred Olsen and Baleà ria and several sailings a day.
