Hi, I want to know if Culebra have direct ferry or airplane to St. Thomas. That way I don't need to return to Fajardo?

You can charter a plane. Several services are available. Google Virgin Island Charter Flights.

After a long search, we discovered Ace Flight Center in St. Thomas. Captain Cleo Hodge flew us (3 of us with little luggage) directly to Culebra. He was terrific, and the price was reasonable. About a ten minute flight. Definitely look into it. Good luck!

Shelley,

What did they charge? This is a commonly asked question and would be useful on this site. I went to the site, but the charter webpage is disabled.

Doug,
We called. I don't think I even knew they had a website at the time. It was August, so I imagine their business was quieter than usual.

We went from St. Thomas to Culebra (one way), and I think they charged us around $175 for the three of us. The folks in the terminal at Culebra knew Captain Hodge, although I don't think it's a frequent run for them.

Hope this helps. Shelley

That's not bad at all! Should we 'officially' recommend their service in the getting there section?

Enjoy Culebra!

Michael,

Sure, I would definitely recommend them. We thought the folks at Ace Flight were great. We actually got their number from Isla Nena. Going directly from St. Thomas to Culebra saved us money and at least 1/2 day in travel. Needless to say, we were thrilled. It was our first trip to Culebra and making that approach in a small plane was unforgettable! We can't wait to get back.

I think the number for Ace Flight Center in St. Thomas is Tel: 340-776-4141.
