Corralejo - Docking
Pre-Booking Berths
You must pre-book a berth via the Puerto Canarios website, or download their App to do the same. If you don’t pre-book, you won’t officially be allowed into the harbor. Yachts have already been turned away here (2022) for not booking in advance.
Go to Yachting Essentials for more details on how to book a berth, and be sure to call or e-mail prior to arrival to re-confirm your booking.

Marina Information:
There are four pontoons: the visitor’s pontoon is long, the first one you come to on entering (i.e. the outer pontoon); the one running parallel to the quay is reserved for excursion boats.
The visitor berths are finger berths on the outer pontoon and there are only six, so space is at a premium. Yachts can moor bow or stern-to the main pontoon with the finger pontoon alongside. The finger pontoons are a bit short and lacking in cleats. There can be a swell here in southerlies so it is advisable to consider using springs.
Arriving yachts should anchor or come to the visitor’s pontoon if there is space and in the high season should pre-book. The skipper should then go ashore and contact the port official to arrange to berth. The office is on the main quay by the ferry terminal. Be sure to check how long you are permitted to stay. There have been reports that only three days is permitted here (see comment at bottom of page).
There are water and electricity boxes on the pontoons and there is regular security at night. There is a laundrette but no showers.
Larger yachts should come alongside the E. quay or the ferry terminal, but this should be prearranged with the port official.
Anchoring:
In the absence of free berths in the harbor, it is possible to anchor about 200 meters south of the ferry landing at the level of Muelle Chico so as not to interfere with ferry traffic. The seabed is sandy with a depth of about four meters at low water. Report your anchorage to the Harbor Master (VHF Channel 9 or 16). A fee of One Euro per day is charged for staying at anchor for longer periods.
It is also possible to anchor at the southern end of Isla de Lobos at the entrance to the lagoon, 200 meters west of the small village of El Puertito where there is a small jetty for ferries and tour boats. Boats are forbidden from entering the lagoon, including dinghies.
Anchoring anywhere else on the islet’s coast is prohibited as there are specially protected areas within the Parque Natural de las Dunas.

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
