As we said in the introduction of this blog, living in an island like Fuerteventura is a real stroke of luck. Anywhere you look at nature offers you spectacular sights.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

FuerteCharter<\/strong> is lucky to carry out its daily activity \u2014 boat trips on Kayak, SUP and Snorkel\u2014 in the north-east of the Island of Fuerteventura, in the coastal town of Corralejo.<\/p>\n

Corralejo<\/strong> \u2014a town of seafarers that life turned into the most visited tourist site in the North of the island \u2014is the link between Fuerteventura and our neighbour island, Lanzarote, from which \u201cEl estrecho de la Bocaina\u201d separates us (15km), and in the middle of these two islands, wild and isolated, the islet of \u201cLobos\u201d stands out. It seems that in ancient geological ages \u201cEl estrecho de la Bocaina\u201d didn’t exist and the two island \u2014 as well as the islet of \u201cLobos\u201d \u2014 made up a single tract of land.<\/p>\n

The strait offers perfect conditions for sailing, due to the trade winds channelling, so this is the favourite daily route of FuerteCharter which, depending on the conditions, offers either trips to Lobos or journeys to the neighbour island, Lanzarote.
\nThe branch of sea that separates Fuerteventura from Lobos is a canal known as \u201cEl R\u00edo\u201d. It’s located 2km away from Corralejo, and its waters aren’t deeper than 10m.<\/p>\n

The islet of \u201cLobos\u201d,<\/strong> with an area of 6km2<\/sup> and a maximum height of 127m at the volcanic cone of \u201cLa Caldera\u201d, took its name from the ancient inhabitants of its coasts: a colony of monk and fur seals. This islet has a unique landscape and it is part of the Natural Park \u201cDunas de Corralejo\u201d, a beauty which doesn’t leave indifferent to visitors and residents alike. \u00a0It’s an area of great wealth and biological value \u2014 land as well as sea bed, and it has been declared marine reserve\u2014 which we’ll describe more in detail in next articles, where we’ll tell you about the lighthouse-keeper \u2014Anto\u00f1ito\u2014\u00a0 and his family, who inhabited it until 1968, about its marine species, its wetlands, its beach of \u201cLa Concha\u201d and its pretty little harbour.<\/p>\n

Another of the charms we can highlight in this area are the different recommended scuba diving spots, like \u201cEl Veril del Calamareo\u201d, with vaults and caves and corridors among rocks, \u201cEl Veril de La Bocaina\u201d, \u201cEl Baj\u00f3n del R\u00edo\u201d, with a mix of rock and pristine sand, \u201cEl punto de los Becerros\u201d, standing out because of the great amount of fish, and the area of \u201cLa Carrera\u201d, with little currents and very protected from the winds.<\/p>\n

No doubt, FuerteCharter enjoys a great privilege. Would you like to come and share it with us?<\/p>\n
