Ferry Schedules to Isla Margarita, Venezuela
or Margarita Island, Venezuela
from Puerto La Cruz. Cumaná, Isla Coche and Caracas
for Conferry and Gran Cacique Express

Conferry

The ferries that travel from the mainland of Venezuela to Margarita Island are either modern and fast or old and slow. The faster ones are the Express ferries and the slow ones are the conventional ferries. The rates differ depending on which one you choose. You can also take a vehicle on either one at a bigger cost. See their website for more info.

This schedule is confirmed by their website as of February 5, 2008. You can go there directly however it is only in Spanish. www.conferry.com .
This information is provided for reference purposes only so don't blame me if it's incorrect.

You should always call ahead to confirm times and fares.

Please do not e-mail me with more questions about these schedules -
I have no more additional information.

I would point out that after dealing with thousands of tourists we would still recommend that
you take one of the 35 minute air shuttles to Isla Margarita from Caracas, Venezuela
- a lot less hassle, about the same price and much faster.

If you are interested in accommodations while on Margarita Island at Playa El Agua, the Island's most popular beach, why not visit Casa Trudel Bed & Breakfast or Trudel's Garden Vacation Homes
located close to the beach. I can offer you clean, comfortable and affordable accommodations.
