The Ferries to Culebra and Vieques

The ferries to Culebra and Vieques run approximately three times per day in each direction.  The fare to Vieques is $2.00 each way, the fare to Culebra $2.50.  For those contemplating day trips out to the "Baby Islands," because the trip each way ranges from one and a half to two hours, we do not recommend trying to take the ferries for day trips to either island.  You can fly from Fajardo to either island for around $25 each way, and the trip is only about 15 minutes; you gain at least three extra hours on the beach.

Please note:  Due to frequent changes in the ferry schedules, we will not attempt to maintain up-to-date schedule information on this site.  Allow 25 minutes' driving time to reach the ferry terminal from the Cubuy bridge.  Once in Fajardo, follow signs for "Embarcadero."  Especially on weekends, it is advisable to arrive at the ferry terminal plenty early for your departure.  The ferries frequently sell out.  The ticket sales area (pictured below), across the street from the ferry terminal, is the first place to go when you arrive at the pier.
