The red can-shaped port hand buoy is much further inshore and was easy to see. We came from the S, so didn't have to worry about the E. edge of the reef - but looking at it from the shore we couldn't see anything recognizable as a cardinal, just some small yellow pillars.

If coming from the North it would be best to stay at least a half mile offshore until you can positively identify the green pillar. The approach is between green and red on a bearing of 360 degrees.

Turn sharply to starboard round the breakwater - there is not much space and there could be a few tourist boats and other small craft in the area.

Puerto Castillo

lat=28.3918 | lon=-13.85652 | zoom=16 | y

On the east coast of Fuerteventura, less than ten minutes from Puerto Rosario and the airport is the small El Castillo harbour in Caleta de Fuste.

Charts

See Canary Islands.

Weather

The bay is protected from the dominant trades. The odd southeasterly winds can sweep right into the harbour, creating an uncomfortable swell.

See also Canary Islands.

Passages

Communication

Add here VHF channel for the coastguard, harbor masters. etc.

Also see World Cruiser's Nets.

Navigation

The green buoy shown in the pilot is a fairly prominent pillar about 5ft high, but it could still be hard to spot in a big swell.

The red can-shaped port hand buoy is much further inshore and was easy to see. We came from the S, so didn't have to worry about the E. edge of the reef - but looking at it from the shore we couldn't see anything recognizable as a cardinal, just some small yellow pillars.

If coming from the North it would be best to stay at least a half mile offshore until you can positively identify the green pillar. The approach is between green and red on a bearing of 360 degrees.

Turn sharply to starboard round the breakwater - there is not much space and there could be a few tourist boats and other small craft in the area. If there is no-one there to direct you just pick a pontoon and tie up. We took a large finger and when someone eventually appeared in the office we weren't asked to move even though we told them we were only 8 metres.
