Boat and Ferry in Puerto Rico

The Puerto Rico Ports Authority runs passenger ferries from Fajardo to Culebra and Vieques. Service is from the ferry terminal in Fajardo, about a 90-minute drive from San Juan. Advance reservations are not accepted. There are a limited number of seats on the ferries, so get to the terminal in plenty of time. This means an hour or more ahead of the departure time in Fajardo, somewhat less in Vieques and Culebra. The Puerto Rico Ports Authority claims to take phone reservations daily from 8 to 11 and 1 to 3. In reality, it's difficult to get anyone to answer this number.

The Fajardo-Vieques passenger ferry departs from Vieques weekdays at 9:30 AM, 1 PM, 3 PM, 4:30 PM, and 8 PM, returning at 6:30 AM, 11 AM, 3 PM, and 6 PM. On weekends ferries depart from Vieques at 9 AM, 3 PM, and 6 PM, returning at 6:30 AM, 1 PM, and 4:30 PM. Tickets for the 90-minute journey are $2 each way. The Fajardo-Culebra ferry leaves Culebra daily at 9 AM, 3 PM, and 7 PM, returning at 6:30 AM, 1 PM, and 5 PM. The 90-minute trip is $2.25.
