While many will find themselves flying and driving throughout the Caribbean, some find it convenient to take a ferry or boat to get from island to island, or to expedite their travel to places around a particular island. Boat and ferry service within the Dominican Republic is limited, however visitors in Samaná or Sabana del Mar will be happy to know that a daily ferry service runs between the two locations. Those looking to explore national parks and islands off of the coast of the Dominican Republic will be able to secure boat and ferry service to locations such as Saona Island, off the southeastern coast of the island, for $40(USD) to $100(USD). An inter-island ferry company, Ferries del Caribe, runs a ferry service between Mayag�ez in Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo. The twelve hour trek is made from Mayag�ez to Santo Domingo every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and leaves at 8:00 p.m. The same trek is made in reverse on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, and also leaves at 8:00 p.m. One way fares will start at $114(USD) without a sleeping cabin, to $157(USD) with a sleeping cabin. Return trips will run for $163(USD) and $249(USD), dependent on the option of a sleeping cabin. Visit Ferries del Caribe or call them at 787-832-4800 in Mayag�ez, and 809-688-4400 in Santo Domingo. Ferries and boats, while certainly not the most popular form of travel in the Dominican Republic, is available to those who need their services in certain areas. Related Articles
