Took the ferry from puerto Juarez to isla mujeres. Easy get on and get off. The roof deck gives you beautiful scenery and views of the turquoise blue water. They have a musician playing for tips both ways. The songs are in Spanish but the beat made the time go by quicker. More

Always clean and punctual. Reasonably priced for a quick, safe, trip to the island. Just so no one gets confused, this is not a party boat. They take security serious. Unfortunately, the pleasant trip is sometimes marred by obnoxious, drunk, Texans. (Why do they always wear their T shirts, hats, etc. They give other Texans an undeserved bad name.) More

This ferry runs on time! Don't be late. Coming back from isla Mujeres be sure to go right to the ferry at your appointed departure time. They don't come to the ticket area to get you. The ride is about 20 minutes and goes quickly. Cost $17 round trip. TIP...yes there is a guitar man that appears out of nowhere... More

Took a short 30 min. ride to Isla Mujeres. We had lunch at the Nauti Beach hotel and swam in the clear blue warm ocean water. More

We rushed to make the 7:30AM sailing from Puerto Juarez to connect to a snorkel trip on the Isla. After waiting minutes at 6:45AM in front of the Gran Melia in the heart of the hotel zone, we jumped on a bus and watched the minutes tick away as morning traffic increased. The bus-driver dropped us off as close as... More
