The boat arrived in Arrecife at approximately 1:30 a.m. on Saturday carrying 49 people, all male, including two minors.
On arrival, the migrants were assessed by medical teams and Red Cross volunteers. All were reported to be in good health and none required hospital treatment.
The rescue follows the arrival of another irregular vessel on Thursday, which brought 81 people.
