Canary Islands Ferry Map
The Canary Islands work as an inter-island ferry network, with routes between islands such as Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura. Crossings are longer than in the Balearic Islands, and not all islands are directly connected. Some journeys require a transfer, often via Tenerife or Gran Canaria. This page shows which routes run directly and where you need to change.
What to know before ferries between the Canary Islands
They may look close on a map, but the crossings are longer and often more exposed to Atlantic weather. Ferries here are not only for visitors. They also move passengers, freight, and vehicles between islands.
Before you use the route map, keep these two points in mind:
- The inter-island sailings aren’t evenly spread across the whole archipelago, so start with the biggest hubs when you plan, especially if your route involves the larger islands.
- These are open Atlantic crossings, so sea conditions and distance can affect comfort and timetable reliability more than on smaller, closer island groups.
