Getting to Vieques by Ferry

Important Note: Currently there are many issues with the ferry. Unless you have to take the ferry due to budget reasons, we suggest you fly to Vieques either from San Juan which is the most convenient or you may take a shorter and cheaper flight from the Ceiba Airport. Those that had planned on taking the last ferries of the day are at the most risk if you are traveling to Vieques. You can take the chance of trying to get the ferry at the time you had planned, if it does not work out you can always drive to the airport and get a flight (however, you will not have guarantees that you can get a flight over). We'll keep you posted.

The Fajardo Puerto Rican Port Authority 400 passenger ferries run between the town of Fajardo and Vieques several times a day. The ride generally takes about one hour and 15 minutes. The car ferry takes about two hours. The time may vary upon the boat you board and the weather conditions.

On this page you will find information on ferry rates, how to get to the ferry dock in Fajardo, contact information, ferry schedule and frequently asked questions about the ferry service.

Note: A frequently asked question is "Why doesn't anyone answer the phone at the ferry terminal? The phones ring and ring and they don't answer". All we can say is keep trying. If you get frustrated because they don't answer the phone, please don't contact us, we have no control over this issue, we advise that you call and complain to the office of Tourism in Puerto Rico.
