The ferry crosses the San Juan Bay, with its services running from mornings to evenings seven days a week as the weather and maritime conditions permit. Although the service is heavily used by tourists, its primary purpose is to serve as a transportation hub for those who live nearby Cataño but work in San Juan in complement to AcuaExpreso. Despite what the service's name implies, it has been provided by multiple boats, not just one ship. The ferry is an icon in Puerto Rican culture.
