The bow parts a glassy Atlantic and the island of Lobos appears like a dark coin tipped on the horizon. Salt spray sketches your face as the captain trims the sail; wind and current conspire to push you through La Bocaina, the shallow five-kilometer throat that separates Fuerteventura from Lanzarote. Within minutes the landscape changes from Corralejo’s white dune fringe to a volcanic silhouette capped by the Caldera.

Adventure Tips
Arrive early and check in
Be at Corralejo Port 15 minutes before departure to meet the captain, stow gear, and get a safety briefing.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a hat
The sun is strong on the water; use reef-safe SPF and a secure hat or cap to avoid sunburn while on deck or paddling.
Wear water shoes
Rocky landings and boat ladders are easier with sturdy water shoes that protect toes and give traction.
Prepare for wind and swell
Take motion-sickness meds if you’re sensitive and plan morning departures for calmer seas when possible.
