What is this tour like?

The same ten-minute crossing to Lobos, but on a semi-rigid taken privately: €150 for the boat, not per head, with six outbound times to pick from; the return is agreed with the operator. Landing is at El Puertito, and the day on the islet is yours.

The unit is what makes this product worth understanding. FuerteCharter prices it as a whole-boat charter — its system calls the type "full", and the label its own booking form prints for that type is "Price per boat from". So €150 is the whole transfer, there and back, however many of you go. Two people pay €150 between them; eight pay the same €150. The two semi-rigids the operator assigns to the trip are both listed in its fleet with a capacity of twelve, which is where the boat stops being cheaper per head.

The route is the same one the shared water taxi runs: out of the home port in Corralejo, across El Río, into the inner lagoons on the southern side of Lobos. The difference ashore is small but real — the operator says the private trip lands at El Puertito, the hamlet, rather than at the main quay. From there the paths, the calm water of La Concha and, if you want it, lunch at the picturesque Antoñito's restaurant, which the operator names itself.

Schedule is where privacy pays. Six departure times run from 9:30 through to 15:30, and six return times through to 17:30, which is later than the shared boat's schedule allows; the operator sums it up as full timetable availability. You pick a pair.

Snorkelling is recommended rather than supplied: the operator praises the park's crystal-clear water and its marine life, but the service listed against this booking is the return transfer, so bring your own mask.

The permit is not optional and not automatic. Because this trip puts you ashore, the booking form runs the Isla de Lobos authorisation step: either FuerteCharter files the access requests with your reservation — it states the handling is included at no additional cost, and asks for each adult's name, surname, country and ID number — or you declare that you hold them or will apply yourself, and the form points you to lobospass.com.

What are the highlights?

  • €150 buys the boat, so the arithmetic improves with every extra person up to twelve
  • Six outbound times — 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 12:00, 15:30 — with the return agreed with the operator
  • Landing at El Puertito, the hamlet on the islet's south side, where the lagoons are
  • A semi-rigid rather than a passenger ferry — the operator's shallow-draught boat, its own base port

What should you know before you go?

Who it’s for
Groups and families of four to twelve who want their own departure and return times, and anyone who would rather land at the quiet El Puertito end than share a ferry timetable.
Level
None. It is a ten-minute transfer; the effort is whatever walking you choose on the islet.
What to bring
Your own snorkelling gear if you want it, proper footwear for the paths, swimwear, a cap, sunscreen, a towel and something warm for the return. Settle the Lobos authorisation when you book.

FAQ

Is the price per person or for the whole boat?
For the boat. The operator's own booking form prints the label "Price per boat from" for this price type, and the number does not move with the headcount. Divide it by however many of you are going.
How many people fit?
Twelve. The operator puts two semi-rigids on this trip — a Sacs 780 and a Prince 38 Sport Cabin — and lists both in its own fleet with a capacity of twelve.
Who deals with the Lobos permit?
You decide in the booking form. Either "I want to include requests for access to Isla de Lobos in my reservation (Management included at no additional cost)", entering each adult's name, surname, country and ID number, or "I have access authorizations to La Isla de Lobos or wish to apply for them myself", to which the form answers "Remember that you must go to lobospass.com to request permission to land on Lobos Island". Chartering the boat privately does not exempt anyone.
Where does it drop us, and can we eat on the island?
At El Puertito, on the south side. The operator itself mentions eating at the picturesque Antoñito's restaurant as an option — it is not included, and the operator does not say anything about booking a table.
How late can we come back?
The return slots the operator publishes run to 17:30, and it describes the product as having full timetable availability. That is the main practical gain over the shared crossing.
Six of us — is this cheaper than the shared water taxi?
Do the sum yourself: six adults on the shared taxi is 6 × €17 = €102, against €150 for the private boat. Privacy and the wider timetable are what the extra €48 buys, not a lower fare.
