Great small boat, 2 crew, maximum 6 guests. Sail out to Lobos for an hour of bait fishing. Sandwich and a drink whilst we sail to the big fishing stop. About 3 hours fishing there. 8am to 1pm trip. All equipment included. They really help you to try to catch fish. Really fun experience.

What is this tour like?

A place on the boat rather than the whole boat: five hours of bottom and drift fishing out of Corralejo with captain Pichón on the Faeton 910 Moraga, tackle, licence, insurance and drinks in the price. €95 per person, six places per departure, out at 08:00.

This is the entry point to fishing on the north of Fuerteventura. The operator, a small Corralejo company built around the Faeton 910 Moraga and its captain, sells this trip by the seat: six places go on each 08:00 departure, and you book one or two of them instead of chartering the boat. On the water the plan is bottom fishing or drift fishing for whatever the ground gives, and the captain hands out all the tackle — rods, reels and rigs are his.

The boat is a Faeton 910: 9.20 m of hull with a deep-V bottom, two 190 hp diesel engines, a wide unobstructed cockpit and a walk-around deck with heavy stainless pulpits, which is what makes it a workable platform for six anglers rather than a day-boat with rods on board. The operator's own description of the ground is that the continental shelf sits a few miles out from Corralejo, that four tuna species pass through these waters at different times of the year, and that blue and white marlin are a possibility for those who can fight one.

The price is €95 per person, shown by the operator against a €105 full price. A deposit of €23.75 per place is taken online and the balance is settled on the day. Rods, reels and tackle, insurance, the fishing licence and drinks are all in the price; the operator states plainly that there are no extra fees or fuel surcharges and that tax is included. Departure and return are at the Corralejo dock at 08:00, and the operator asks you to check availability on WhatsApp before booking.

What are the highlights?

  • A single place on the boat, so a solo angler or a pair pays for two seats and not for a whole charter
  • Rods, reels and tackle come from the captain — nothing to carry to the dock
  • The fishing licence is included in the price, so no paperwork of your own
  • The Faeton 910 Moraga is a 9.20 m deep-V boat on two 190 hp diesels — built for the channel, not for the harbour

What should you know before you go?

Who it’s for
Anyone who wants a morning of fishing without paying for a whole charter: solo anglers, pairs, and families who fished with the captain before — his review page carries entries from parents who came with children.
Level
No experience needed — the captain provides and explains the tackle. It is five hours on an open Atlantic channel, so a tendency to seasickness is worth taking seriously.
What to bring
The operator suggests comfortable athletic clothing, a hat, a jacket and sunscreen, and asks for ID matching the booking plus the order number from your confirmation email.
Meeting point
Corralejo dock, in the harbour of Corralejo at the north end of Fuerteventura; departure and return are both here, at 08:00. The company is based in Corralejo, 35660, and asks guests to confirm availability on WhatsApp before booking.

FAQ

Is the price for one seat or for the boat?
For one seat. This is the operator's shared trip: the booking calendar shows six places on each 08:00 departure and takes a €23.75 deposit per place. If you want the boat to yourself, the same operator sells private trips priced for the whole boat.
Do I need my own gear or a licence?
Neither. Rods, reels and tackle are provided by the captain, and the fishing licence is in the price along with insurance and drinks.
What sort of fishing is it — trolling for big game?
No. This trip is bottom fishing or drift fishing for a variety of species. Trolling for pelagic predators is the operator's separate private trip, sold at a boat price for five or eight hours.
What might we catch?
The operator describes the trip as fishing for a variety of species, and says of these waters that four different tuna species live here at different times of the year and that blue or white marlin can be fought by anglers up to it. A day's catch is never promised.
Can I keep what I catch?
The operator does not set this out on the trip page. He asks guests to write on WhatsApp before booking to check availability, and that is the moment to agree it with the captain.
What time does it leave and how long is it?
Departure is at 08:00 from the Corralejo dock, and the trip runs five hours. Return is to the same dock.
Are there extras to pay on the day?
The operator states there are no extra fees or fuel surcharges and that the listed price includes tax. What you pay online is a €23.75 deposit per place; the balance of the €95 is settled on the day.
What is the cancellation policy?
The operator's FAQ says you must call 72 hours ahead of the trip for a full refund; inside 72 hours a termination fee applies (the page writes it as $35), and there is no refund for a cancellation inside 24 hours or a no-show. The front page separately advertises free cancellation up to three days before the trip.
What if the weather turns?
The operator says trips go ahead in rain and wind, but that if conditions are unsafe the trip is changed or postponed, and that you are told in the week of your trip if anything changes.
Do I have to book, or can I turn up at the dock?
Book. The operator requires reservations for a guaranteed place, asks for ID matching the booking and the order number that is emailed straight after, and does not ask for a printed voucher.

“We had a shared fishing trip for 5 people with Pichon, it was fantastic. The boat is very well kept. The fishing was great, we all had fish, including yellowfin tuna, Atlantic tuna, red snapper and barracuda. Pichon is a passionate Spanish fisherman who is fast and direct with his instructions. The sandwich was great too! We would recommend and plan to fish with him again soon.”

SD Stefano De Conti
★★★★★

“A lovely experience in its simplicity, organised very well. There were only four passengers, the captain and one hand, plenty of room for everyone. The fish are not remote-controlled and kept us waiting, but we all came back happy with our catch. Worth doing again.”
