First Visit to Culebra
Culebra, Puerto Rico

I am visiting Culebra for the first time with some friends in early June 2016. We are going to have a car and want info on the best way to get tickets on the ferry to and from the island. I called the numbers on the home page; the first number no one answered and the other two didn't work. Is there a way to purchase advance tickets for the passengers and the vehicle? The online purchase only gives me the option to but passenger tickets. Does anyone have a contact # to best reach the ferry ticket booth?

Thanks!!

How long are you going to be on Culebra? Are you renting a vehicle on the main island?

Hi- Most, if not all of the car rental agencies do not allow you to take rental cars on the ferry. You can park in Fajardo and take the passenger ferry. The cargo ferry from Fajardo to Culebra leaves at 4am and then again around 4:30pm. Trip is aprox 1.5 hours.

The 4 AM ferry is, BTW, also a pretty good way to make sure you get on as a passenger, but then again, during the week the line is not so crazy and the 4AM only runs on weekdays!

As Donna implied, if you come only for a short time, do not waste your time bringing a car! And if you do, be darn sure your rental contract allows it!

Enjoy Culebra!

Thanks for the info!! We will be there from 6/8-6/10. From what I've been reading it looks like we may not need a car on the island. So parking in Fajardo would be ideal. It also looks like a good idea to reserve ferry tickets online in advance. I will do that ASAP. And if it looks like we need a car on the island there's a place I also read that rents jeeps which I will look into.

Thanks again for your help. I cant wait to be there!
