Passenger Ferry • Playa del Carmen • San Miguel • About 40–45 Minutes
The passenger ferry between Playa del Carmen and Cozumel is one of the main ways visitors reach the island.
Cozumel's municipal tourism office describes the crossing as roughly 40 minutes. Xcaret Xailing currently describes its crossing as about 45 minutes. Ultramar, Winjet and Xcaret Xailing all serve the passenger route.
In Playa del Carmen, passenger ferries use the maritime terminal near the waterfront and Fifth Avenue area. On Cozumel, passengers arrive in central San Miguel.
Because schedules, prices and operating conditions change, this page should not become a frozen timetable. Instead, it should link directly to each ferry company's live schedule and ticket page. Travelers should also leave extra time before departure; Ultramar and Xcaret currently recommend arriving about 30 minutes early.
