AcuaExpreso (Spanish: AquaExpress) is a ferry service between Cataño and San Juan, Puerto Rico that consists of two routes:

• Cataño ⇆ Old San Juan on the Cataño Ferry docking at the AcuaExpreso Cataño Terminal in Cataño on the route's southwestern point and at the AcuaExpreso San Juan Terminal in Pier 2 of the San Juan Port in Old San Juan on the route's northeastern point,^[2] and

The ferries cross the San Juan Bay with its services running from mornings to evenings seven days a week as the weather and maritime conditions permit.^[3] 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, and as a transportation hub for the Coliseum of Puerto Rico.
