Description:
This is a busy ferry port at the northern extremity of Fuerteventura, popular with tourists and known for its excellent windsurfing and kite-surfing. The harbour is on the northeast coast of the island and is partly sheltered by Isla de Lobos.
Owned by Puertos Canarios, this is a government-run port – https://puertoscanarios.es/
Entrance Notes & Cautions:
The approach to Corralejo calls for care as there are various outlying dangers. There are reefs to the north and north-west of the harbour entrance. In Addition, car ferries entering or leaving the ferry dock are not easily visible (at night the ferry dock is lit by bright floodlights)
When approaching along the southern end of Isla de Lobos, watch out for rocks extending more than 200 meters from the shore. In north and northeast winds, high waves and strong winds form in the El Rio Strait between Corralejo and Isla de Lobos.
Shallow waters extend on both sides of the harbour about 400 - 500 meters out to sea. There are also fish farms on the eastern side of Isla de Lobos, marked by yellow buoys.
Position:
28°44'23"N, 13° 51'52"W (marina)

Hi can anyone please help me, I can’t get any sense from anyone in the mariner , I’m buying a rib in Corralejo and want to have a permanent or resident berth , does anyone know what yearly costs are and how to find out if a berth is available (rib length 5.10 metres )
We stayed in Corralejo for two days in November 2017. There were strong winds and the harbour management was unsure if the pontoons would hold the boats. Every morning they would check the state of the pontoons and the weather forecast and let us know if we could stay another night.
The finger pontoon had a sharp edge which damaged our boat during docking. If weather allows, I would advise just to anchor outside of the harbour and use the pontoons as a dinghy dock. The fences are never locked.
We did send the berthing request but that wasn’t of any use. We just came in and there was a space available so we could stay a maximum of 3 days. There are only 6 visitor berths and they were all full during our 3 days stay. Quite cheap, around €11,- for 1 per night. The town is noisy and full of tourists. It has nice beaches and there is a good well-priced supermarket behind the big Cofradia de Pescadores de Corralejo.
We had an interesting stay in Corralejo. There are only 6 visitor berths and when we arrived they were all empty. We ended up staying for around 18 days with a short stay in Lanzarote during that time. When we were going to pay for a further 3 days we were told ‘no’ and that we had to leave. On further questioning, it came to light that apparently the maximum number of days to stay is 3, but this was only brought to light after 18 days.
Different marina guards/officers told us different things, so be sure to check. They were not interested in the fact that a storm was due that night, we simply had to go. Worth checking the length of stay rules when you arrive.
In spite of all of this, the marina was great for what we needed. Cheap and cheerful. Only 6.50 euros a night for our 32ft boat but No showers, no toilets – the puertoscanarias website is rather misleading and they never seem to reply to emails either.
Corralejo is fun but full of tourists. Nice surf on the North coast and excellent windsurfing and kitesurfing on Flag beach.
We had a usual stint of southerly winds which made the mooring rather role but never felt unsafe. Mooring springs/rubbers very helpful here.
Has any stayed in the marina in 2015? Can anyone advise on the cost of mooring for a month? I have tried to email to reserve a spot but have no replies to my emails. Thank you
