Anguilla / Ferries

By Tess Hokin

The first is to take a taxi up to Marigot (around US$20) and then take the twenty minute ride across to Blowing Point on Anguilla’s south coast. Departures start at 7.30am and run every 45 minutes or so until 7pm. However, it is not advisable to bank on catching the last ferry as it is sometimes cancelled, especially during the off-season. For information, t 497 6665.

Link Ferries, Blowing Point - the second option is to travel with Link, which runs a twice daily service between Blowing Point Ferry Terminal and the Immigration Office at Simpson Bay Bridge, which is closer to the airport. It departs Anguilla at 8.45am and 4.15pm and departs St Maarten at 9.30am and 5pm. The regular fare costs US$30 for a single and $50 for a return, but if you are transitting through Anguilla, you might want to use their meet and greet service at Juliana Airport (they collect and transport you to the ferry and back), for which the price is US$40 each way. There is a maximum of 12 seats, so reserve early. The boat is also available for private charter.

The third option is to hire a private charter or shuttle (with other guests) to leave from Simpson Bay in St. Maarten, just a short walk or 2 minute drive from the airport. Charters come in to Blowing Point. While this option may seem more expensive, it is far more convenient (some carriers offer pick-up at the airport) and may work out to be only slightly more expensive than the other two options once taxi-fares are factored in.

GB Express - 12 passenger speedboat which offers a ‘V.I.P.’ greeting service at the airport. US$35 one way, $60 roundtrip/person.

Funtime Charters - US$55 one way for shuttle, US$330 for 4 passenger charter, each additional person US$25. Infants-3 years are free, children 4-12 half price.

There is also a service between Anguilla and St Barths from time to time in season, at around US$150 round trip.
