Ferry Schedules & Prices 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.
We will no longer post actual
rates - you will have to go to their website.
You can go there
directly however it is only in Spanish.

This information is provided for reference purposes only so don't blame us if it's incorrect.
You should always call ahead to confirm times and fares.
Please do not call or 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. In the last couple of years the ferry service deteriorated
considerably. In the fall of 2011 the national government took over the ferry
service of Conferry. Only time will tell how this will turn out.
Their track record with other take overs has not been good.
