2 US departure ports — sailings to Puerto Rico
The Puerto Rico route operates from two US ports. Both offer regular sailings to San Juan — your departure port is determined by your US pickup location.
Jacksonville, FL
Southeast US departures
Primary port for Southeast, Gulf Coast, and South Florida riders. The most direct routing to San Juan from the southern US.
Eddystone, PA
Northeast US departures
Serves the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest. Located near Philadelphia — the natural departure point for riders north of the Carolinas.
Not sure which port suits your location? Call 1-888-347-1391 and we’ll confirm the right departure point for your shipment.
One arrival port — San Juan, Puerto Rico
All Puerto Rico shipments arrive at the Spanish Terminal in San Juan — the island’s primary port for vehicle imports from the US mainland.
Spanish Terminal — San Juan, Puerto Rico
San Juan, Puerto Rico
The designated arrival terminal for all US motorcycle shipments to Puerto Rico. Located in San Juan — the capital and largest city — with convenient access to the island’s main road network. The recipient must present a valid ID and have cash available to cover associated port and destination fees at pickup. Puerto Rico imposes no vehicle age restrictions, so new and vintage bikes alike ship without limitations.
Transit time — USA to Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is one of the shortest international routes we serve — a quick Caribbean crossing from both Jacksonville and Eddystone to San Juan.
We collect your motorcycle at your US address and truck it to Jacksonville or Eddystone depending on your location. From there it’s loaded onto the next available sailing to San Juan. We’ll confirm the current sailing schedule and estimated arrival window when you book.
On arrival at the Spanish Terminal, the recipient presents valid ID and cash for port and destination fees. Puerto Rico is a US territory — no customs import duties apply, and there are no vehicle age restrictions. Collection is straightforward once terminal fees are settled.
RoRo vs container — options for Puerto Rico
Two shipping methods are available on the Puerto Rico route. Choose based on your budget and the level of protection your motorcycle needs for the crossing to San Juan.
RoRo — Roll-On/Roll-Off
Standard — most popular
Your motorcycle is ridden aboard the vessel and secured on the car deck for the crossing to San Juan. Cost-effective, reliable schedules, and your bike stays fully enclosed within the ship’s hull throughout the voyage. The right choice for most bikes on the Puerto Rico route.
Container Shipping
Premium — maximum protection
Your motorcycle ships in a dedicated sealed container — isolated from other cargo for the entire crossing. Best for high-value, vintage, or custom bikes where full enclosure and maximum protection justify the added cost.
From your US address to Jacksonville or Eddystone
Every Puerto Rico shipment starts with an enclosed truck run from your US pickup location to the departure port. We handle both legs — domestic and ocean — as one coordinated service.
Documents required to ship a motorcycle to Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico’s documentation requirements are minimal — have everything ready before booking to keep your shipment on schedule.
- Title and registration (proof of ownership)
- Bill of sale
- Valid government-issued ID (driver’s license or passport) — required at pickup in San Juan
- Cash for destination and terminal fees — required at the Spanish Terminal on collection
Note: Puerto Rico is a US territory — no customs import duties apply and there are no vehicle age restrictions. Questions before booking? Call 1-888-347-1391.
What to expect at the Spanish Terminal, San Juan
On arrival at the Spanish Terminal, present your valid ID and all required paperwork. Have cash available to cover destination fees and any applicable terminal charges — these are paid on-site at pickup. Because Puerto Rico is a US territory, there are no customs import duties or foreign import taxes on your motorcycle. The process is significantly simpler than international customs clearance at foreign ports.
Note: Ship Overseas, Inc. manages the vessel transport from the US mainland to San Juan. AA Motorcycle Shipping coordinates the domestic pickup leg and your booking into the sailing schedule.

Shipping motorcycles from the USA to Puerto Rico since 1983
Puerto Rico is one of the most accessible international routes we serve — no customs duties, no vehicle age restrictions, and a short Caribbean crossing from the East Coast.
