Bottom Fishing in Caleta de Fuste: Half-Day Boat Trip from Fuerteventura
Spend a focused half-day fishing the reefs and drop-offs off Caleta de Fuste. Small-group boats, full gear and an experienced captain make this an easy, family-friendly way to try bottom fishing on Fuerteventura.
The Experience
Before You Go
Morning calm
Book the earliest slot possible—mornings often have lighter winds and steadier fish activity.
Secure belongings
Use dry bags for phones and wallets—spray and rolling waves are common near reefs.
Sun protection
Wear a brimmed hat, polarized sunglasses and reef-safe sunscreen; sun reflects strongly off the water.
Motion readiness
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid-boat where motion is gentlest.
