Looks like they've moved the commercial operation down the coast to
Calica. There's a big new turn off of 307 and a big brick sign. They
take rental cars, but only with special permission from the rental car
company.
Calica/Cozumel Car Ferry
Cost: $ 5 per passenger, $55 any size truck or car.
Time: 2 hours
Tel: Maritima Chankanaab, (984) 872-0827
Departure from Calica Dock: 10:00 AM, 7:00 PM
Departure from Cozumel: 8:00 AM, 5:30 PM
If it's anything like the old car ferry, you need to get there a good
couple of hours before she sails to get a spot.
