Ferries del Caribe resumes service and is seen from Rincon, PR

Ferries del Caribe has resumed service between Mayaguez and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic! We can see the ferry from the Lemontree and this morning I took this photograph of the ferry sailing proudly over to the Mayaguez port.

The 4-star M/S Caribbean Express will sail on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8:00 p.m. to the Dominican Republic. When it leaves the ferry is all lit up with lots of lights and we enjoy watching it sail off. Despite the distance, sometimes if the wind is right, the sounds of the music from the ferry will reach us.

The ferry will sail from Santo Domingo to Mayaguez at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

If you want a brief visit over to Santo Domingo from Puerto Rico, this is a great way to go!

I had nice treat when I went out this morning...the Ferry was coming into Mayaguez. Looking southeasterly, we can see the Port of Mayaguez from the Lemontree.

Ferries del Caribe offer ferries three times a week between Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. The journey takes about 12 hours. From Santo Domingo they leave Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8 PM, and arrive in Mayagüez at 8 AM the following morning. From Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, they leave on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8 PM, and arrive in Santo Domingo at 8 AM the following morning. The ferries have a casino on board open during the whole trip.

At the Lemontree, we can see the Ferry coming in from the west. It seems to emerge up etherally out of the sea and then slowly navigates across the ocean towards Magaguez. As it comes closer and closer, it gets bigger and more distinct. I closely cropped the photograph so you could better see the Ferry. Tonight, we will see the Ferry leave Mayaguez for Santo Domingo. The ferry will be strung with ferry lights and if the atmospherics cooperate, we sometimes hear the party music as it passes us in the distance.
