Baleària Canarias Adjusts Schedules and Restores the 1:30 PM Trip on the "Maritime Bridge" Between Capitals

Since October 15, Baleària Canarias has adjusted its schedules on the "maritime bridge" between both Canary capitals, with the most significant change being the restoration of the 1:30 PM trip, increasing the daily frequencies from four to five. These schedules will be in effect until March 31, 2027.

The 1:30 PM trip from both capitals, now operated by the new catamaran "Mercedes Pinto", was a demand from passengers and transporters, as the lack of this frequency forced them to use the Agaete line, with the increasingly intense inconvenience of vehicle traffic on the northwest road of Gran Canaria.

Now, the departures on the "maritime bridge" between capitals, from Monday to Friday, are at 07:30, 10:30, 13:30, 16:30, and 19:30, respectively. Some opinions suggest that the first trip should be at 07:00, as that half-hour difference is significant for those needing to travel early in the morning, and it would also be a better option for transporters in the "center-to-center" link, which is one of the major qualities and advantages of this service.

The Las Palmas-Morro Jable line, also from Monday to Friday, except Wednesday, has two daily departures: 07:30 and 13:30. Conversely, Morro Jable-Las Palmas has departures at 10:30 and 16:30. On Wednesdays, the second departure from Morro Jable is at 19:00.

Passengers boarding in Santa Cruz de Tenerife heading to Morro Jable can do so without transfer on the 10:30 departure, and those returning from Morro Jable to Santa Cruz de Tenerife can do so on the 10:30 and 16:30 departures.

On Saturdays, when demand typically decreases, there are four daily trips, and the 1:30 PM trip is canceled.

On Sundays, there is a schedule change to better adapt to the Sunday date, with departures from each port at 10:00, 15:30, 18:00, and 20:30, respectively.

Departures from Las Palmas to Morro Jable are at 09:00 and 12:30, and from Morro Jable to Las Palmas at 12:30 and 18:30. This return trip, being Sunday, allows for better utilization in Fuerteventura.

Another important change, especially for transporters, is the rotation of the ferry "Al Andalus Express", which departs from Las Palmas at 03:00 and arrives in Santa Cruz de Tenerife at 06:30, returning to Las Palmas at 16:00. This return schedule was another request from transporters, instead of doing it at 13:00, as this difference allows them to operate with greater flexibility in their logistical needs.
