Routes

The ferry firm previously connected Los Cristianos in Tenerife with San Sebastian, Playa Santiago, and Valle Gran Rey in La Gomera. Garajonay Express operated the two High-speed crafts Garajonay and Orone. These were second-hand ferries sold on from Italian ferry operator SNAV. The ship's route 'The Gomera Inline Route' was awarded to fellow ferry firm Fred. Olsen Express, who used a similar ferry called Benchi Express (IMO 9059171) to operate this route until 2012.

Collapse of The Company

Since its collapse, its two rivals, Fred Olsen Express and a conventional ship operator Naviera Armas have considerably upped their fares on the La Gomera-Los Cristianos services.
