Fuerteventura enjoys the climate of the Canary Islands, with mild temperatures all year-round that make it an amazing holiday pick no matter the season. The best time to book your Fuerteventura ferry tickets depends on your travel dates and flexibility.

If you are planning a sunny getaway in Fuerteventura between December and February, it’s best to book at least 2-3 months in advance, ideally in September or October. That way, you will ensure availability on the dates you wish to travel and can take advantage of early-booking deals.

Similarly, if you intend to visit Fuerteventura in the summer high season, namely June to August, it is highly recommended that you book your ferry tickets at least a couple of months in advance. By booking between March and May, you will secure your spot and the best ticket prices available for your trip.

For trips to Fuerteventura in the quieter months in spring and autumn, you can find good ferry deals closer to your departure date, though options might be more limited.

Fuerteventura is the second largest island of the Canaries, lying about 100 km off the coast of North Africa. With over 300 days of sunshine each year and very little rainfall, it is a true year-round destination for seaside holidays. The island enjoys mild winters, warm summers, and a constant breeze, making it especially appealing to travelers seeking sun at almost any time of year.

Famous for its spectacular beaches, the island boasts more than 150 km of coastline with golden sand and turquoise waters, as well as a few unique gems, such as Popcorn Beach. Thanks to its reliable trade winds, Fuerteventura is also one of Europe’s top spots for windsurfing, kitesurfing, and surfing. Annual championships at Sotavento attract athletes and fans from around the world.

The capital of Fuerteventura is Puerto del Rosario, offering a mix of local life and culture. You’ll find street art, museums such as the Casa Museo Unamuno, and a waterfront promenade with cafés and shops. Corralejo is the main tourist hub in the north of the island, well-known for its dazzling nightlife, wide range of restaurants, and easy access to Lobos Island and the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park.

Caleta de Fuste, on the east coast, is a family-friendly resort town with calm waters, a marina, golf courses, and plenty of all-inclusive hotels. In the south, Morro Jable offers a more relaxed experience. Thanks to its proximity to the pristine beaches of the Jandía peninsula and the Jandía Natural Park, this is the ideal destination if you're into outdoor adventures or simply looking for tranquility.

• If you are traveling to/from Fuerteventura in the high season, we recommend arriving at the port of departure at least 45 minutes in advance, especially if you are bringing along your vehicle.
• The sea can get a bit choppy, so if you are sensitive to the waves, consider taking seasickness medication before the trip. As always, you can discuss your options with your pharmacist or doctor.
• Ferry crossings to Fuerteventura from mainland Spain (Cádiz) are overnight, so we recommend booking a cabin for a more comfortable journey.
