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 June 29, 2009. You can go there directly however it is only in Spanish. www.conferry.com .

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.

If you are interested in accommodations while on Margarita Island at Playa El Agua, the Island's most popular beach, why not visit Margarita Tropical Villa located close to the beach. We can offer you clean, comfortable and affordable accommodations with a pool, A/C, sat TV, fridge, microwave & a free breakfast.
