Gran Canaria is the Canary island of the Maspalomas dunes, Las Palmas city and a mountain interior.

Best time to take the ferry from Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria has mild weather all year; winter from November to March is peak season with sunny days around 22 degrees, summer can be hot and windy, and the north and Las Palmas are cloudier than the south. Christmas and Carnival in February fill hotels. For the ferry itself, late spring and early autumn bring calm seas, full timetables and reasonable fares; July and August are the busiest and the most expensive, and the windiest weeks can cancel the fast boats. Winter schedules are thinner on many crossings, so we verify before you plan.

Ferry or flight from Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria?

Weighing a flight against the ferry from Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria? Add the airport time at both ends and the transfer from the arrival airport, and the ferry is frequently as fast door to door - about 2 hours 30 minutes at sea and usually cheaper, with no baggage fees. With a car there is no contest. We book whichever suits you.

Return ferry from Gran Canaria to Fuerteventura

We book the return crossing from Gran Canaria to Fuerteventura just as easily, normally on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the ferry from Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria cost?

Ferry prices from Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we verify the fare for the day you want to sail and send it through WhatsApp before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, vehicle, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria: how to pay less

A cheap Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria ferry ticket is not luck - it is the right boat on the right day. Here is how we find it:

• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic
• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper

When you complete the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria ferry first, then the alternatives.

Departure: Morro Jable port

Morro Jable port is where the Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.

• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Morro Jable port; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in Fuerteventura to the port on request
• Let us know which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes

Arrival: Las Palmas port

Arrival is at Las Palmas port. Gran Canaria is the Canary island of the Maspalomas dunes, Las Palmas city and a mountain interior. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the pier with your name, or tell you the best way to your hotel by bus or taxi. If you brought the car, the road out of the port is signposted for the main routes.

Many travellers continue from Gran Canaria to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

On board the Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage

The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Both types on this route carry vehicles on some sailings; we tell you which. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.

• Children's fares by age; infants generally free
• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - let us know if one is travelling
• Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
• Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths
