Katrina,
Intro: I started this thread with a query about how to get through to the ferry office via phone. We are currently finishing our honeymoon in PR and my conclusion is that we ended up doing the right thing by taking the plane to Culebra.
There is no online booking for the ferry. I did, in all honesty, try to call several times a day, every day, for approx. 2 months. I was able to talk to a live person 6 times total. Each time I was "transferred" to reservations, and the phone rang and rang and eventually the call cancelled out. Rinse, repeat.
So the last week before we were scheduled to go to Culebra, I was able to find a round trip flight out of Fajardo and we just did that. It was easy (a bit scary for a first-timer on an 8 passenger plane) and quick. We talked to some people at the airport that go to the ferry dock at 6 am that same day and were not able to get a ticket as the ferry sold out quickly for the whole day.
In any event, as far as the ferry goes, you can try to call the 3-4 phone numbers they have listed (the 800 number never works), or you can just start lining up the flights. I'd go w/Air Flamenco as they seem to have the most flights in and out of Culebra.
One last suggestion. We stayed 4 nights/5 days in Culebra and then went on to another part of the island. We wished we would have just spent another 4 days there, it was truly that awesome and relaxing (though the holiday weekend of the 25th and 27th are a bit crazy). So for what it's worth, stay as long as you can. Also, we stayed at Bahia Marina, and while it is a bit of a trek south to get there, it was well worth it.
Next time we're going to just plunk down and spend all of our vacation there. I'll write up a trip report in a few days because I'm dying to share our experiences with many that frequent this forum.
Good luck.
