Bahia Chilota - Punta Arenas | Vehicle Shipping

If the wind or bad weather cancels the ferry; don’t hesitate to wait a few hours. It can be restored during the day! We decided to wait until the next day, and saw a lot of people leaving or taking the road to punta arenas. Locals decided to wait, us too. And a few hours later; the ferry decided to go! I felt bad for all the (tourist) that decided to take the road instead. So yeah, it’s not 100% sure that the ferry will run for sure. But just know it can change during the day and leave a few hours later! Hope this helps the decision in case of cancellation!

Early morning check-in (06.30) for a very prompt 08.00 departure. Good crossing taking 2 hours. Motorcycle were well looked after with extra "chocks and wedges" put in place to prevent the bikes from falling over.

despite the tickets taken at the office in the city center, we had to pay a supplement on boarding because our vehicle had been misclassified. come 1h30 before departure. in the line of vehicles a person comes to check your tickets. for our 14 ton motorhome truck we paid 161000 chilean pesos, this includes the driver. additional passengers paid 7400 pesos each.

malgré les tickets pris au bureau du centre ville il nous a fallut payer un supplément à l’embarquement car notre véhicule avait été mal classifié. venir 1h 30 avant le départ. dans la file des véhicules une personne vient contrôler vos tickets. pour notre camion motorhome de 14 tonnes nous avons payé 161000 pesos chiliens, cela inclut le chauffeur. les passagers supplémentaires ont payé 7400 pesos chacun.

We have been told in Ushuaïa that ferry run every days and twice a day except on Saturday
We missed the last one on sunday....
So no ferry on monday.... we bought in Town ticket for thuesday 1pm but 1 pm nothing happens and after one hour a small ferry cames but only for people, no car no trucks
So We waited the next one at 8.00 pm
So if you are short on time skip porvenir as there is nothing spécial to do here to kill the time and do the big loop

Right place to buy the tickets again. Open the whole day, however the ticket office itself is closed until 1,5 hours before the ferry leaves.

Just paid $79,600 for Land Rover plus caravan and 1 PAX. Note vehicle price includes driver. Also note comments below reference ‘cash only’ and variable schedule, 2 sailings per day for much of March 18. See photo of current schedule.

be aware they only accept payment in cash (usd,Chilean or argentinien pesos) if you pay in usd the bills need to be new or have no discoloration or any kind of wear.

I second the previous comment. Schedule changes from day to day so you cannot rely on it. Also if you come here in early February make sure you aren't trying to cross the day of or the day after the Asado festival where thousands come here to party. Because I guarantee you there will be no room.

Also little tip for MOTORCYCLISTS: if ferry is full, buy tickets for the next ship avail and just chill next to your bike by the orange cones near the ramp. When the last cars are loaded just waive your ticket at workers and they'll let you in if your bike fits. Worked for us :-)

We wanted to take this ferry. We have do a reservation 4 days before personally at Porvenir. They said we have to be at 15 hrs at the dock to take the ferry at 16 hrs. When we were there at 15 hrs there was no ferry there so we looked at the timetable that was posted on the door. oh surprise! Ferry went at 13 hrs and another will go at 19.00 hrs. Very bad information!
Be sure they give you something written on a paper.
