Hi all, I’m looking for some type of consensus. I have gotten 2 very different opinions from 2 very knowledgeable individuals that live on Culabra. I'm going to be in San Juan on business Feb 1st and will be renting a car while there.
On Sunday Feb 5th I will be traveling to Culabra. My lodging is booked for 3nights, I will be returning on Wednesday the 8th to Jan Juan to catch a 3:30 flight.
My plan is to fly back on the 8th in order to make sure I get my connections.
My dilemma is the Sunday travel to Culabra.
A few years ago I took the ferry from Fajardo for the day and loved it. The ferry broke down at some point and we ended up getting the midnight ride back on the freighter, which by the way was really cool but im not sure I want the uncertainty of arriving on Culabra after midnight.
There will be 2 of us and we have the time Sunday to travel. Will be in San Juan Saturday night. Since I will have a car, I could drop it at Fajardo, there is a $40 drop fee. So price wise it would be much cheaper to take the ferry.
If the ferry schedules are accurate i found online, there is a 9am and a 3pm ferry out. Earliest drop time for the rental car is 8am. If memory serves me right, there would be a possibility that the ferry was too crowed and getting there 15 min before might not insure us a ride.
Any thoughts? Reliability of the ferry? Potential problems with an early morning drive from San Juan to Fajardo? Opinions are appreciated. Thanks. Rick
