Ferry Schedules

In Playa del Carmen, there are two high-speed ferries that shuttle people back and forth to and from Cozumel all day long. They run every hour, so you never have to wait long. The ferry pier is located in downtown Playa del Carmen, so if you're coming over from Cozumel, you can just walk from the pier - no additional transport needed. If you're staying in a Playacar hotel, the ferry pier is also within walking distance. The ride takes about 45 minutes, depending on weather conditions, and makes traveling back and forth between Cozumel and Playa del Carmen a snap, which helps Cozumel cruise passengers to take advantage of cruise excursions here on the mainland of the Riviera Maya.

WHERE IS THE PLAYA DEL CARMEN FERRY TERMINAL?

Location: The ferry terminal is located right in downtown Playa del Carmen, about a block and a half from the main square and Plaza Playacar, where most of the tour pickups take place. See the map at right.

Cancun Airport: Most people coming from the Cancun Airport use pre-reserved Airport Transfers. They'll bring you as far as the ferry pier. Then you'll just ride the ferry to Cozumel. Once in Cozumel, you'll take a taxi to your hotel. They're right there waiting for you at the ferry terminal. Very easy. It takes about 45 minutes to drive to Playa del Carmen from the Cancun Airport.

Mainland Hotel Guests: We recommend taking a taxi to the hotel pier unless you're staying downtown, within walking distance to the pier. It takes about an hour from Cancun, 30 minutes from Puerto Morelos, 15 minutes from Puerto Aventuras, and 25 minutes from Akumal.

Calica Cruise Passengers: Take a taxi from the Calica cruise pier. It only takes about 8-10 minutes, and costs about $8.00 USD.

Tip: Only buy a one-way ferry ticket. There are two ferry companies, and they don't accept each other's tickets. Doing only one-way leaves you flexibility to ride one ferry on the way there and the other on the way back.

WHERE IS THE COZUMEL FERRY?

Location: The ferry terminal is located right in downtown Cozumel, next to the Punta Langosta Cruise Ship Pier, right in front of Punta Langosta mall, and a block from the town square.

Cozumel Hotel Guests: You can walk there from anywhere in San Miguel (downtown). From areas outside of town, you'll just take a taxi from your hotel or where ever you happen to be on the island. Taxis are readily available all over Cozumel. Very easy.

Cruise Passengers: A taxi to the ferry pier from the Puerta Maya or International Pier should cost about $6.00 USD and take about 7 minutes. If your cruise ship is arriving at Punta Langosta, then you can just walk next door.
