My wife and I had a Wonderful! time in Culebra at the beginning of Jan 2010. Casa Ensinada was exactly as expected. We stayed in both the Pequeno and the Estudio and both were perfectly acceptable.

Alfa,
I don't believe there are any sailboats to rent on Culebra. You might try kayaking, talk to Jim at Barbara Rosa's restaurant.

My understanding is that the government subsidizes the ferries to/from Culebra, whereas the water taxi folks are trying to earn a living.

for value I'd nominate Barbara Rosa's as a contender. esp. if shark tenders are on the menu.

The folks at Barbara Rosa's are the ones to talk to about this. They will discuss your experience and apply their knowledge of the water conditions and let you know your best options.

On the Forum page, upper left hand margin, click on To Do and then on kayaks. I would try Jim Peterson. I think you can find him at Barbara Rosa's.

Good afternoon Ryan,
