You can cross between islands in under an hour.

This easy ferry ticket pairs Playa Blanca (Lanzarote) with Corralejo (Fuerteventura) using a high-speed passenger boat, and the trip takes about 35 minutes. It is a simple way to build your day around one island without wasting hours in transit.

What I like most is how straightforward it is: you choose your departure time, get a boarding pass, and settle into one of the 250 seats. I also like the viewing options—inside, outside, or the solarium—so you can pick sun or shade while you cruise through the Bocayna Strait.

One thing to plan for: if you try to change the return time once you are at the harbor, there can be an extra charge. And if the sea is rough, you might feel the motion even on a comfortable boat.

Key Things That Matter Most on This Ferry Hop

• 35-minute crossing across the Bocayna Strait, so you can keep more of your day for exploring
• Choose from multiple departures each day (six daily options from each island, per the schedule you pick)
• Bungavilla-specific ticketing, meaning your ticket works only for the selected time on the Bungavilla boat
• 250-seat comfort with indoor seating, outdoor deck seating, and a solarium for sun seekers
• Cafe onboard if you want a quick bite during the sail
• Return timing has flexibility, since the return ticket does not have to be the same day

Quick Reality Check: What This Lanzarote–Fuerteventura Ferry Ticket Does

This is not a guided tour with stops and sightseeing. It is a clean, pre-booked ferry transfer between two Canary Islands—Lanzarote and Fuerteventura—designed to get you from port to port with minimal hassle.

The practical win is time. A crossing of about 35 minutes means you can treat this like an efficient connector between islands rather than a full-day commitment. You pick a one-way ticket or a return ticket, then ride the passenger ferry to the other side and start exploring right from the port.

Where You Board: Playa Blanca to Corralejo Without Guesswork

Your departure ports are set and simple:

• Playa Blanca (Lanzarote) to cross toward Corralejo (Fuerteventura)
• Or you can book in the opposite direction, depending on your schedule

Your ferry ride centers on the Bocayna Strait, and that is the main “destination” during the crossing: views out the side, sea air, and the kind of travel time that feels like part of your day instead of dead time.

When you arrive at the port, you will exchange your ticket for a boarding pass at the ticket office, then board the passenger ferry. This matters because it removes guesswork about where to go with a reservation.

Choosing Your Departure: One-Way vs Return Options That Fit Real Plans

This ticket is offered as:

• One-way, for when you want to transfer and keep going
• Return, for when you want a trip that comes back to your starting island

Here is the timing flexibility that can really help your plans: if you buy a return ticket, the return does not have to be on the same day. That is useful if you are pacing a longer itinerary or want a buffer in case weather or ferry timing changes your day.

Also, you get a choice of six daily departure times from each island. That gives you room to match the boat to what you actually want to do—morning vs afternoon, or just picking a time that avoids your strongest “jet lag” hours.

On Board Bungavilla: Seats, Decks, and Views of the Bocayna Strait

Your voucher is valid on the Bungavilla boat at the specific selected time during booking. That is more than trivia; it affects planning. If you later decide you want a different sailing, you might pay an extra fee.

Once onboard, you will have access to plenty of space and a choice of where to sit:

• Inside deck when you want shade or shelter
• Outside deck if you want the breeze and open air
• Solarium for sun time when conditions feel right

There are 250 seats, so this is not the kind of ride where you are forced to stand around. If you get hungry, there is an onboard cafeteria where you can grab a bite during the crossing.

The star of the show is the short stretch over the Bocayna Strait. It is one of those trips where the scenery is always changing, so even though you are only out there for about 35 minutes, it does not feel like you are staring at the same view the whole time.

Price and Value: Why $23 for 35 Minutes Can Be a Smart Move

At around $23 per person, this ferry feels like good value if you are comparing it to the cost of losing half a day to slower transit.

What makes the price feel worth it is that you are paying for:

• Time (a fast crossing, not a long haul)
• Reserved, time-specific travel (you pick departure times)
• A comfortable onboard ride with seating and options for sun or shade

If your schedule is tight, this ticket is a clean way to avoid planning your whole day around transportation. The biggest “value” is not just the price—it is what you can do with the extra hours on the island you actually want to spend time on.

Getting Your Ticket Turned Into a Boarding Pass

This is the part that can make or break a smooth departure day, so I treat it like a checklist.

What you should expect:

• Your ticket does not automatically equal your boarding pass. You exchange it at the ticket office at the port.
• Then you board the ferry to start the crossing.
• The ticket works only on the Bungavilla at the selected departure time.

If you are the type who hates standing around, show up with enough time to do that ticket exchange and still have a calm minute before boarding.

If You Want to Change Plans at the Harbor, Know the Trade-Off

This is the one scenario where you need to be careful: your ticket is tied to the selected sailing time and the Bungavilla boat.

If you decide you want an earlier return sailing once you are already at the harbor, you might encounter an extra fee. One experience noted a surcharge of €8 per person for an earlier crossing back. I am not saying it will always cost that much, but the lesson is clear: changes can cost money, so plan your departure time thoughtfully when you book.

When the Sea Gets Rough: Comfort Tips for a Smooth Crossing

Even on a short ferry ride, sea conditions can make a difference. If the water is choppy, expect some motion—there is no way around physics.

A couple practical tips:

• Choose inside seating if you want extra stability and less wind.
• If you want views, go outside or solarium, but do it knowing you may feel more movement when waves are up.
• Bring your patience. The crew can help people feel at ease, and it is usually the kind of situation that settles once everyone is seated.

Also, because this crossing is quick, you are not stuck out there for hours. You are making a short, manageable hop even when the sea is not cooperating.

Making the Most of Your Time on Each Island (Without Overplanning)

The ferry is designed to get you to port fast, so the real payoff is what you do after arrival.

Here is the rhythm:

• Take the ferry from Playa Blanca to Corralejo (or the reverse).
• Arrive at the port and start exploring the island right away.
• If you bought a return ticket, come back at the time you choose.

Since your crossing is around 35 minutes, even a partial day is usable. The best approach is to avoid cramming your schedule into the minutes around boarding. Instead, treat the ferry as a connector that lets you spend your energy on the island you are actually using as your base for the day.

Who This Ferry Ticket Suits Best

This ticket fits best if you want:

• A fast inter-island transfer with minimal planning
• Flexible day structure thanks to multiple daily departure times
• A comfortable ride with real seating options (not a crowded cattle-car experience)

It is also a great match for people who prefer independent travel. You are not being routed through a schedule of stops—you are choosing a time, then enjoying the short crossing and getting on with your island time.

Should You Book This Lanzarote/Fuerteventura Ferry Ticket?

I would book it if:

• You want to swap islands without losing most of a day to transit
• You like having time options (six departures) so you can build a schedule that works for you
• You value comfort choices like inside seating, outside deck, and solarium

I would think twice if:

• You are planning to change the departure or return time last-minute. Your ticket is valid only for the selected sailing on Bungavilla, and changes can bring extra fees.
• You are very sensitive to motion. If the sea is rough, you may feel it more depending on where you sit.

If you like the idea of a short, scenic hop with real seating and quick turnaround, this is one of the simplest ways to connect Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
