  • Don’t book the ferry for a set time

    Between immigration, bags, 60 min on the road and the half hour the ferry companies want before boarding, the time you reach the pier depends on your flight. With an open ticket you take the next boat out, no rush.

  • Which ferry company should I pick?

    All three sail from the same terminal and cost about the same. Choose by timetable: Xcaret Xailing starts earliest, at 07:30, and Winjet has the last boat, at 22:00.

  • If you land late

    The last boat out of Playa del Carmen leaves at 22:00 (Winjet). If your flight gets in at night, count the 60 min journey before assuming you will cross the same day.

  • Can we stop on the way?

    Yes. A stop at a supermarket or a chemist is the one almost everybody asks for, and it’s added when you book rather than agreed with the driver.

Questions about getting to Cozumel Ferry

Where does the Cozumel ferry leave from?
From Playa del Carmen, not Cancun. Xcaret Xailing, Winjet and Ultramar all sail from the same place: the Navega ferry terminal on Calle 1 Sur, next to Parque Los Fundadores in the centre of Playa. That is where your driver drops you off.
How long does it take to get from Cancun Airport to Cozumel?
It comes in three legs: 60 min by road to the pier, estimated without traffic; the half hour before departure the ferry companies ask you to be there to board; and about 45 minutes at sea, according to Xcaret Xailing. Allow close to three hours from leaving the airport to stepping onto Cozumel, plus any wait for the next ferry.
How much is the ferry to Cozumel?
Per person, one way, at the tourist fares each company published as of September 2026: Xcaret Xailing, $320 MXN per adult and $240 MXN per child aged 6 to 11 ($640 and $480 MXN return); Winjet, $310 to $335 MXN per adult and $240 to $265 MXN per child depending on direction ($645 and $505 MXN return); Ultramar, $320 MXN per adult and $240 MXN per child in Premium Plus ($640 and $480 MXN return). Leaving Playa del Carmen you also pay an environmental sanitation fee, which the companies list at $23 to $25 MXN. Quintana Roo residents and INAPAM cardholders pay less.
What time does the Cozumel ferry leave?
From Playa del Carmen, as of September 2026: Xcaret Xailing sails every 30 to 60 minutes from 07:30 to 21:30; Winjet has 14 departures from 08:00 to 22:00; and Ultramar has nine, from 09:00 to 21:00. Coming back, the first boat leaves Cozumel at 06:30 (Xcaret Xailing) and the last at 21:00 (Winjet). Timetables change with the season, and the harbour master can halt crossings in bad weather, so check them on the day you travel.
If my flight is late, will I miss the ferry?
Not the transfer: your driver tracks the flight and the price stays the same. The ferry does run to a timetable, but there are departures until 22:00, and an open ticket from Xcaret Xailing or Ultramar is valid on any available departure on the route. If you have not bought yours yet, buy it open or at the ticket office at the pier.
Can I take my suitcases on the ferry?
Yes. Ultramar includes one bag of up to 25 kg per ticket, and Xcaret Xailing has a luggage area on board. If you have several large suitcases, get there early: they are checked before boarding.
How much is the transfer from the airport to the pier?
From $69 per vehicle one way, with taxes, tolls and luggage included. The price is per vehicle, not per person, so a family or group splits it. The ferry ticket is not included: you buy it from the ferry company.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. One price covers every seat in it, and child seats are free and don’t take up a paid seat. The more of you there are, the less it costs each.
Can I use a ride-hailing app instead?
Ride-hailing apps work in the area but can’t pick up inside the airport, and at night there may be nothing available. What you’ll find at the terminal are the authorised taxis. A pre-booked transfer is the only option with the price fixed before you land.
Can I cancel?
With the Premium fare, yes: free up to 24 hours before pick-up, no questions asked and no fee, and changes are free up to 12 hours before. The Economy fare, the cheapest one, has no free cancellation, but it includes one change if you let us know at least 24 hours ahead.
