BONANZA EXPRESS

The Bonanza Express, part of the fleet since 1999, was the first high speed acquired by Fred.Olsen Express and also the first ever to sail in the waters surrounding the Canary Isles. It carries 800 foot passengers and 235 cars or alternatively 105 cars and 25 heavy goods vehicles. The Bonanza Express travels at a maximum speed of 48 knots unloaded or 38 knots (over 70 km/hour) in service with a deadweight of 500 tons. This Wave Piercing Catamaran has an overall length of 95.47 metres, a beam of 26.16 metres and a depth of 3.7 metres.

The introduction of this vessel by the Fred. Olsen Company was a major step forward in maritime transport in the Canary Islands, being the first high speed ferry to operate in the entire archipelago.

Today the Bonanza Express offers a daily two hour service between the islands of El Hierro and Tenerife, as well as daily connections between Los Cristianos (Tenerife) and San Sebastián de La Gomera.

Routes for this vessel: 
                                 La Gomera (San Sebastián) - Tenerife (Los Cristianos)
