Passenger speed boats operate daily between Isabela and Santa Cruz. The journey takes 2-3 hours and costs US$30.
Boats depart the embarcadero at 0600 or 1500. The return journey from Santa Cruz departs at 1400.
The ride can be wet and uncomfortable in certain sea conditions but is useful for managing crew changes. To book, visit the different tour operators in town.
