Match the departure dock to your transfer
Use this guide to decide between the public ferry through Marigot and an airport-side charter connection. Start with where you will be on St. Martin, then check the departure dock named by the service. An airport transfer and a public ferry journey involve different ground arrangements, even though both take you to Anguilla. Share the actual dock name with your driver before setting off.
Resolve the details before choosing a sailing
Compare the complete journey: ground transport, waiting, crossing, arrival processing, and the ride to your accommodation. Ask the operator about luggage and any assistance your party needs. Once the route is settled, use the dated timetable for departures and the fare calculator for a budget.
