Ferry or fly?

We are coming to Culebra next week! I've read several trip reports claiming the ferry is really rough going to Culebra and not nearly as rough going back. Does anyone else have any opinions on this? I want to have time to book a flight if necessary. There are 5 of us traveling.
Thanks!

IMHO it's a question of time vs. money.

money and no time - fly / time and no money - ferry

And, with 5, it is feasible to charter, which is unbelievably convenient. It was a few do9llars per person more than flying commercial, but you fly when you want to fly. Just sayin'.

From San Juan airport (the last time I came in, at the end of Sept), the taxis (airport taxis, not taking the publico route, which IS cheap but takes a long time) wanted 80.00 to get to the ferry. Taking a taxi to Isla Grande and flying home cost a little less than 70.00. Not a difficult decision for me.

If you have a choice I would say fly...simply because the landing experience is amazing and the views of Puerto Rico and Culebra are fantastic from the air.

Ty,

You're about due for a dose of Culebra. When are you going down?

We have done both. The ferry was a fun experience and we got to see Whales on our way over. Now we just fly because we want to get to the island as fast as we can! It is a beautiful view from the plane seeing all the topography..coral etc. and as said before the landing is cool.

There is no such thing as a bad vacation. Some are just better than others.

Trust me Doug...everytime I have a rum and coke I wonder whats happenin there. As soon as I get the bathroom fixed and the windows replaced and after our trip to Disney (the kids not getting any younger) its back to Culebra...so most likely next year =( Heard from the guy at Smittys your surgery went well...good to hear...we need to have another lunch..I will give you a buzz sometime.
