The experience
The boat leaves every hour or so, which means you're not locked into one departure time if your plans shift. Puerto del Carmen to Puerto Calero runs at 10:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 12:30 PM, 1:30 PM, 3:00 PM, and 4:30 PM, and the return direction has its own schedule starting at 10:00 AM. You show up 15 minutes early, board, and twenty-five minutes later you're at the other harbour. That's it. No bus route to figure out, no rental car for a short hop, just water between two working ports on Lanzarote.
The water taxi runs on ten sailings daily across both directions, so if your morning plan changes or you're waiting for someone, you can usually catch the next boat without much delay. The crossing itself is straightforward. There are toilets on board, and the boat takes strollers and service animals without fuss. Children need an adult with them, which makes sense on the water. Weather can cancel a departure, but if that happens you get offered an alternative date instead of just losing your booking.
This works best if you're staying in one harbour and want to explore or eat in the other without the drive around the coast. The timetable is posted, but times can shift with local conditions, so it's worth checking the exact departure when you're ready to go. Boarding starts fifteen minutes before, so don't arrive at the last second.
What’s included
Your journey includes the twenty-five minute water crossing between the two harbours, onboard toilets, and access to ten daily sailings with flexible same-day rebooking if you need to change your departure time.
