He may be able to buy your ferry tickets, but I don't think so. Hi Gwenn, You mentioned in the comments that on holidays this Xmas the tickets would likely sell out. And you also mentioned that there is no advance or online selling. My question is, how early is it to buy tickets in person at the ferry terminal? We will be landing in SanJuan Int'l Airport, we are a couple 2persons , how can we get a taxi going to Ceiba the one that will fill-up up to 5 people? Hello, I would like to buy ferri tickets from Ceiba to Vieques for the 30 of December in advance.
Is there any possibility or it only can be purchase in the terminal the same day? Yes, passengers are allowed on the cargo ferry. When should we purchase the ticket latest? I'm wondering if it is possible to get a one way car rental from San Juan to the ferry terminal. Are there any car rental companies that would do this? The ferry runs decently well, but yes, it may be delayed or have issues.
And I assume it will still be the same in Mid-January. But I would risk it. Many people use it. Just have an open mind and realize, you may have to wait. Maybe not, but maybe. Hi, We will be visiting Vieques in mid-January. We are currently planning on using the ferry Ceiba-Vieques bc my partner is phobic re: small planes props, puddle jumpers and I can't convince her to fly - not even for such a short 30 minute flight.
But, confirming what I have read elsewhere, our host lives in NY but visits Vieques regularly warned us against using the ferry bc of the recent changes and terminal location change to Ceiba.
She said it is not currently reliable and people get stranded for hours on a regular basis. Any advice for taking the Ceiba-Vieques ferry on a Saturday to make it as painless as possible? Just type in Ceiba Ferry Terminal It is on Marina Drive. Same as the airport?
I will need it to call an Uber Yes,is that not clear in the article. The Fajardo ferry is closed. The passenger ferry is faster, but passengers can also go on the cargo ferry. So if you miss the 3pm passenger, take the next cargo ferry.
Or, to avoid a lot of wasted time, check to see about flights out of Isla Grand airport. Just to confirm, so the ferry terminal in Fajardo is out of service and we can only use the on i Ceiba? Our flight arrival time is pm and the last passenger ferry according to your schedule is pm.
Does that means it is unlikely we can take the ferry to Vieques island on the same day? Is it possible for us to take the cargo ferry the one? We only have 2 carry on luggages. At this time, I don't believe they are selling advanced tickets. But you could try Can you purchase the ferry ticket the day before you want to go? Or does it have to be the same day?
My friend and I reserved the flight to Vieques but we wanna try the ferry as well. Can we buy the one-way ticket of the ferry from Vieques to Ceiba? Possible but not likely. Without checked bags and with a transportation private taxi already made and maybe with ferry tickets purchased , it is possible.
But that depends on no flight delays The ferry could sell out during holiday break, but you can choose different times the really early ferry. Worry free that way! My husband and I are traveling on Jan. We get into the airport at pm. Will we make the 3pm.
We planning to go to flamenco beach, culebra fora day,we would be staying in san juan. Whats the best way to get to flamenco back and forth from culebra ferry terminal? Can one buy the ferry ticks ahead of the date. We need to go dic 21 to culebra. Assuming no maintenance or weather issues, they should be working fine. I don't think there will be a lot of people trying for the 7pm cargo.
Our flight arrive 2. Gracias Gwenn! I assume both the high speed cats and car ferries are running and if I miss the 3pm Ceiba cat there may still be a later car ferry to take Happy Thanksgiving! Ferries have been ok lately, usually on time'ish passenger ferry is on time except for if they need gas. They seem to only open ticket window 1 hr ahead, midday- about Hola Gwenn! I am planning to take the lancha or ferry to both islands next week, Nov Do you expect the boats to be running more or less on the schedules posted on this website?
How early would you recommend arriving at the Ceiba terminal to park a car and buy a ticket for the miday boats? Gracias, Claus. There is really very little public transportation. You can get a bus from there other places, you would have to check the AMA bus map how you can get there No luggage allowed and might take a number of hours.
How we could get to ferry from airport without car? And what about luggage? We will be returning from Culebra by ferry to Cieba. We have 5 in our family. Will there be uber drivers or taxis that can drive us back to San Juan form Cieba?
Yes, I believe there is now a publico that will go from Rio Piedras to Ceiba. I don't think all the food stands are open, but some are. The cheap way! Yes, the ferry runs unless there is unsafe weather issues. Same schedules every day including holidays. There is no route between the little islands. You would have to take ferry back to Ceiba and then get on another to Vieques. It says 7 days a week in the posted schedule but does not mention specifics around holidays.
Also hoping to confirm if there is any access to Viesques from Culebra? Or do passengers have to take a boat all the way back to cieba before going between the two islands? Just during a port stop? Not enough time.
Unless you want to fly over from Isla Grande, but it would be an expensive, short visit. Can you please answer 2 questions for me? Is it viable to do a day trip to Culebra from the cruise terminal in San Juan?
If you think it is, can you tell me the best way to get to the marina from the cruise terminal, approx cost and the ferry times in the morning?
Warm regards. Right now, it is tough- the path from parking to the dock is gravel, so getting to the ferry will be difficult. Once to the ferry, yes, they are accessible. You will have to call them, or go in person and ask for specifics. I believe they mean they will credit you and just change your ticket to the new times you want as long as they are available when you go to ticket window. Are the new ferries from Ceiba handicap accessible?
My aunt uses a motorized wheelchair and we want to make sure she would be able to use the ferry. Hello, a few weeks ago, I asked a local to buy a round trip advanced tickets from mainland to Vieques in December. The local said the new company will honor the old ticket.
Is this true? It seems that the new schedule is different. If they do honor the old ticket, but how they deal with the time difference? I don't know! The passenger ferry will be reliable but the schedule isn't great for day trips. I assume by then they will have gotten the second cargo ferry working. That trip takes 1. But it will give you a longer day at the beach. I assume get there 1. I don't think they are selling advanced tickets. What are the best times you suggest to travel to and from Culebra and what are the hours to purchase tickets?
How early should I go to purchase a ticket? Should I purchase a day before? I will be traveling with my son and mother. All ferries leave from Ceiba now to go to the out islands. None are in Fajardo anymore. The article has all the information I have at the moment. You have to go to Ceiba and buy tickets at the window. I suggest you buy a round trip ticket I'm going with 2 more friends and we would like to take the 9am trip! Please advise so we can make the proper arrangements, thanks in advance!
They will always have a ferry for people to get over there. I don't know if they will keep the exact schedule they have now, but we will post more once they have figured it out. I am coming to PR for a week starting December 29th. Our flight gets in at pm on a Saturday and we have a ride to Ceiba to catch the ferry to Vieques.
Will there be passenger ferries running late afternoon and evening once the tourist season hits? Right now they stop at 3pm. There is usually one that leaves at p cargo ferry. I assume it will be the same. Am A solo Musician, flying in from North Carolina.
Currently they are not open 24hrs, but hoping they increase their hours next week when cargo ferry moves there. For the ferry you have to go back to main island and get on another ferry. Hi, we plan to travel from Vieques to Culebra. WIll there be a direct line between the two islands? At this time, no advances ticket sales. There should not be many lines for the ferries, as it is low tourist season. I would get there about 1.
Exact schedules have not been confirmed, but there will be evening runs. Hi there, I'm looking to go to Vieques and Culebra around Thanksgiving. Is there an easy way to book tickets in advance? If not, how long before departure should I get to the Ceiba terminal? I read that there might be hours line in summer and you even risk not to get on the ferry.
Thank you, Marco. When the 28th of October comes, will there still be cargo boats that go to Veiques after oclock from Ceiba that passengers that get in late from the airport can get on.
Around the holidays, maybe lines. Return tickets should not be a problem. Me and my friends will be staying in Fajardo and would like to sail to Culebra. Do we need reservations or can we get them that morning. Will there be a chance of getting just a return ticket if we fly over. In looking for work have experience as a sailor please let me know how do I apply.
