High speed ferry question??

Author: Tracy Vincent (---.hsd1.co.comcast.net) Date:   10-28-06 14:01 I was trying to make reservations for the highspeed ferry from San Juan to Culebra 12/3 retruning on 12/9. Does anyone know if it is necessary to do this ahead of time? I know they don't resume service until 12/1, so, maybe they are not open until then?

Author: MJC (---.nyc.res.rr.com) Date:   12-02-06 11:42 Jorge, Thanks so much for your dilligence! Unfortunately I just spoke to someone at Block Island Ferry (their website is connected to Island Hi Speed Ferry). He said that they purchased the boat and it will not be running in Puerto Rico this winter. I am really bummed because this boat was holding my trip together. If anyone knows of any alternative I would love to hear about it. I only have one week and am looking to avoid taking the ferry from Fajardo -> Culebra -> Fajardo -> Vieques so I can see both islands. The Wed ferry does not fit into my schedule... Thanks, Matthew

Author: beachbound (---.231.40.69.ip.alltel.net) Date:   12-02-06 13:06 Matthew, Have you checked out flying out of Isla Grande? There are a couple airlines that fly the route (Air Flamenco, Vieques Air Link, Isla Nena) and I am pretty sure that Flamenco and VAL fly Culebra to Vieques also. Good luck! Sue

Author: susan lusk (63.175.186.---) Date:   12-21-06 16:01 what a pity to lose this service. last year we booked a middle-of-the-nite flight into SJ and spent a few hours at the 24-hr casino before taking the 8AM ferry to culebra. it was great fun and a new experience. and our modest winnings paid for the ferry ride! susan www.CasaSuMarco.com

Author: LA_FadeAway (---.socal.res.rr.com) Date:   12-27-06 02:21 Is there any more news on whether or not this ferry will resume service? I was hoping to use it in April 2007.
