Fuerteventura - Lanzarote ferry tickets don't usually sell out for every departure, as there are numerous crossings between Corralejo and Playa Blanca throughout the day. However, some departure times are more popular than others.

Tickets may sell out sooner for the first ferries in the morning and the last return crossings, especially on weekends, public holidays and during peak travel periods.

Tip: if you want to travel at a specific time, we recommend booking in advance. And if you're taking a car, motorbike or motorhome, it's best to book even earlier, as car-deck spaces are limited and may sell out before tickets for foot passengers.
