Here is my experience with taking the ferry from Fajardo. As someone mentioned arrive early. I arrived to the port on Saturday morning at 7am. When I arrived there were maybe a few hundred people in line ready to board. The ferry was to leave at 9. There was absolutely no way we were going to get on the ship but I had to verify so I went to the ticket counter. THe ferry in fact sold out and the next ferry was leaving AT 3PM! WTF! Me and my party left and was about to return to the San Juan when a taxi driver said that we could take a flight from Ceiba airport and offered to drive us to the airport for $15. From there we took a last minute chartered flight for $49. Round trip $98. Not bad considering we got to the island in 10 minutes and a quick taxi to the beach. Do not ever consider taking the ferry under no circumstances. The ferry caters to the locals, it is a long ride and no one is in charge. And let me also add that Flamenco beach is gorgeous. Until the locals arrive and the beach becomes extremely crowded. I would only return to the island during the week (not weekend) or during the winter months.
