Traveling between the Canary Islands in comfort: Líneas Romero's new fleet


Ferry travel with Líneas Romero between the Canary Islands is much more than moving from one destination to another. It means enjoying the journey, traveling in comfort, and having a safe, efficient maritime connection tailored to every passenger's needs.

For nearly a century, Líneas Romero has worked to connect the islands and facilitate travel for residents and visitors alike. Today, this experience is combined with a strong commitment to innovation and fleet renewal, introducing vessels designed to offer a more stable, comfortable, and efficient sailing experience.

The Alexandro R, Luis R., and Juan Jorge R are three examples of this evolution and represent a new generation of ships built to enhance the travel experience between the Canary Islands.

Fleet Renewal


Inter-island maritime connections are an essential part of mobility in the Canaries. Therefore, having modern, safe, and comfortable ferries is key to making every journey an enjoyable experience.

Líneas Romero introduces new features designed to improve every journey, ranging from greater efficiency to superior stability.

Onboard services such as USB charging ports, an onboard bar, more comfortable spaces, and systems that streamline luggage management adapt to the needs of every route and passenger.

The renewal of Líneas Romero's fleet serves this precise goal: introducing vessels adapted to the characteristics of inter-island routes, with designs that improve stability, reduce motion during navigation, and offer greater comfort for both passengers and crew.

Alexandro R: Stability and comfort while sailing

The Alexandro R is one of the vessels representing this commitment to innovation within the Líneas Romero fleet, operating the Lanzarote - La Graciosa route.

Measuring 31 meters in length and with a capacity for up to 364 passengers, this ferry was designed to offer stable and maneuverable navigation.

One of the key highlights of its design is its specially optimized hull, equipped with side water discharge tunnels. This solution eases navigation and helps reduce seasickness and vertical acceleration, enhancing comfort during the trip for both passengers and crew.

Currently, the Alexandro R is part of Líneas Romero's connections with La Graciosa, facilitating travel between the islands and offering a sailing experience designed so you can enjoy the journey itself.

But innovation hasn't changed something fundamental: the warm and personalized service that forms part of Líneas Romero's identity.

Luis R: A new generation of ferries

The fleet's evolution continues with the Luis R, a modern catamaran created for short-distance routes between the Canary Islands.

Built by the fiberglass division of Astilleros Gondán, the Luis R is the third vessel developed by this shipyard for Líneas Romero, following the Don Juan R and the Alexandro R.

With a length of 31 meters and capacity for 350 passengers, the ship features a hull made of fiberglass reinforced plastic (GRP) and an optimized design to improve its performance while sailing.

Its setup incorporates systems aimed at reducing vertical movement, favoring a more stable and comfortable voyage.

The Luis R operates on Líneas Romero's routes with La Graciosa, offering a comfortable alternative for those who wish to discover this unique destination from Lanzarote.

In addition, its name pays tribute to Luis Romero, a member of the family's second generation and an important figure in the company's history.

Juan Jorge R: Speed, comfort, and efficiency

The latest addition to this new fleet renewal phase is the Juan Jorge R, a Fast Ferry designed for maritime connections between the Canary Islands.

Since July 31, 2026, the Juan Jorge R operates on the Playa Blanca - Corralejo route, connecting Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

With 31 meters in length, a 10.5-meter beam, and capacity for 360 passengers, the new ferry is equipped with two 1,400 HP engines and can reach speeds of up to 20 knots.

These features deliver agile and comfortable navigation, making ferry travel from Lanzarote to Fuerteventura a convenient choice for both residents and visitors.

A ferry designed for maximum efficiency


The Juan Jorge R is built with GRP (glass-reinforced plastic), a material that reduces the vessel's weight and contributes to greater energy efficiency.

Furthermore, it features latest-generation MTU engines that optimize performance and boost energy efficiency, complying with international emissions standards.

This commitment is also reflected in initiatives such as carbon footprint measurement, Biosphere Committed certification, and the Soy Canary Green Excelsior recognition.

Three ships, one goal: Enhancing the travel experience

Although the Alexandro R, Luis R., and Juan Jorge R have different characteristics and operate on distinct connections, all three are part of the same evolution of the Líneas Romero fleet. Each vessel fulfills the specific needs of its route.

This renewal allows each boat to adapt to the features of different routes and continuously improve the passenger experience.

Nearly a century connecting the Canary Islands

The history of Líneas Romero began in 1930, when a small rowboat carried mail and connected the residents of La Graciosa with Lanzarote.

Since then, the company has evolved alongside the islands. Ships and technologies have changed, but the purpose remains the same: connecting people, destinations, and generations across the sea.
