The catamaran trip to the island of Lobos was a really beautiful experience. The extremely friendly crew did everything to make it an unforgettable day. We were told about the volcano on Lobos, had plenty of time and freedom to swim and kayak, ate a tasty paella and had the special experience of a seagull feeding out of our hands. It was all there that day.

Four hours from Corralejo dock to an anchorage off Isla de Lobos with kayaks, paddleboards and snorkelling gear on board, and a mixed paella with dessert for lunch. €69 per adult, €41 per child aged 3 to 12, under-threes free; departures at 10:00 and 14:30, and the operator adds the free Lobos permit to your ticket on request.
Ticket-isladelobos.es is a Fuerteventura company that runs ferries, water taxis, walks and this catamaran to the islet, and the permit is where it earns its keep. Lobos is a natural park inside the Fuerteventura Biosphere Reserve, and visiting requires an authorisation from the island administration: free, personal, non-transferable, obtainable up to five days before your visit, issued purely to control how many people are on the islet at once, and checkable at any point during your stay. Without it you cannot remain in the park. This operator's own page says plainly that if you need the permit, you send a WhatsApp message and it is included with your ticket at no charge — which removes the single most common way a Lobos day goes wrong.
The trip itself starts at Corralejo Dock at 10:00 or 14:30 and runs four hours. The catamaran sails towards Lobos and anchors near the coast, and that anchorage is where the day happens: snorkelling with goggles, snorkels and fins, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, all with the equipment carried on board. Lunch is a mixed paella with a seasonal fruit skewer or fruit cocktail for dessert, and drinks are included throughout the journey. A captain and crew are on board and transfer is part of the price.
One detail to note before booking: the operator's page describes the catamaran as taking a maximum of twelve people while labelling the trip a small group of up to ten. Both figures come from the same page, so if the exact number matters to your party, confirm it with the operator. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance.

“Thank you to the crew for a wonderful afternoon. Everything is there for a good time: a paradise of a landscape, a good paella, unlimited drinks and a crew who look after you. We were two adults and two children aged ten and five, and we warmly recommend this activity.”
“Good organisation, with people split into groups down in the port. The swimming spot by the island of Lobos is very pleasant, with great visibility for diving down. The food on board was delicious, and the alcoholic and soft drinks were fine too. A nice two-person crew on board who tell you interesting things.”
