COZUMEL FERRY SCHEDULES AND INFORMATION

There is no ferry that runs directly between Cancun and Cozumel.  The only ferry runs from Playa del Carmen, which is about an hour's drive south of Cancun.  The regular ferry run by Winjet costs 260 pesos per adult and 170 pesos per child and takes about 40 minutes to cross, depending on water conditions and passenger load.  The new luxury ferry run by Ultramar costs 290 pesos per adult and 230 pesos per child and takes about 20 minutes.

The lone car ferry is run by Transcaribe out of the Calica port at Punta Venado, just south of Playa del Carmen. The trip takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

HOW TO GET TO THE COZUMEL FERRY DOCK

From the Cancun Airport:

Most people get from the Cancun Airport to the Cozumel ferry dock via a pre-reserved Airport Transfer.  It costs $25.00 per person for a shared shuttle or a private transfer costs between $50.00 to $60.00 depending on the size of your group, if booked through us in advance.  There are higher priced shuttles and a bus available at the airport in case you forget to book in advance. 

From Cancun Hotels:

You can use the same transportation service to get from your Cancun hotel to the Playa del Carmen ferry pier, at the same prices noted above.  Just specify your hotel name instead of your flight information in the booking form.  There are also taxis available at your hotel. A taxi to the Playa del Carmen ferry pier costs between $50.00 and $130.00 depending on the size of your group.  Just remember to ask the price before you get in, and you may need to negotiate.

When coming over to the mainland from Cozumel, the hotel to pier transfer service we offer works in Cozumel as well as from Playa del Carmen.  You can also take a taxi.  If you'll be renting a car, you'll need to take the vehicle ferry.
