Editorial standards

Built by a local. Verified before publishing.

Anguilla Ferry Times is an independent travel information platform founded by Jahmal Richard, an Anguilla local. Our editorial process prioritizes accuracy, local context, and transparency — not volume or SEO shortcuts.

Local, founder-led

Content is created and reviewed by Jahmal Richard, an Anguilla local with firsthand knowledge of the ferry routes, terminals, and travel experience.

Accuracy-first

We cross-reference schedules and fares against operator communications, terminal notices, and direct observation before publishing.

Regularly reviewed

High-stakes pages — schedules, fares, departure taxes, and terminal guides — are reviewed and updated on a regular basis.

Independent editorial

Advertisers, sponsors, and commission-paying operators never influence our editorial content. Paid relationships are disclosed and sponsored placements are labeled.

Anguilla Ferry Times Editorial Policy

How we create, verify, and maintain the content on this site.

01 · About the publisher

Who We Are

Anguilla Ferry Times was founded and is operated by Jahmal Richard, an Anguilla local who grew up using the Blowing Point–Marigot ferry crossing and experienced firsthand the lack of clear, reliable, publicly available ferry information for travelers. The site was built to solve that problem.

All primary content on Anguilla Ferry Times — ferry guides, schedule explainers, fare breakdowns, terminal guides, beach conditions, and travel tools — is written, reviewed, or verified by Jahmal or under his direct editorial oversight.

We are an independent platform. We are not owned by, employed by, or endorsed by any ferry operator, port authority, government body, or tourism board in Anguilla or Saint Martin. We do have commercial relationships with some operators, which are disclosed under Advertising & Sponsorship.

02 · How we write

Editorial Standards

Our content is written to be practically useful to travelers, not to rank for keywords or generate clicks. We prioritize the following standards in everything we publish:

Accuracy over speed — we verify before publishing, not after.

Plain language — guides should be readable for first-time visitors.

Local context — information reflects real conditions on the ground in Anguilla.

No inflated claims — we do not exaggerate schedules, fares, or amenities.

Balanced coverage — we cover public ferries and private charters fairly.

03 · Update process

How We Update Information

Ferry schedules, fares, and departure taxes in Anguilla can change without public notice. We use a structured update process to keep time-sensitive content as current as possible:

Ferry schedules are compared against operator communications and terminal notices whenever changes are reported.

Departure tax amounts and entry requirements are cross-referenced with the Anguilla government's published guidance.

Beach and sea conditions are model estimates from marine and weather forecasts, updated throughout the day; they are not on-site observations.

Taxi fare estimates are based on the published Anguilla Taxi Association rate schedule.

Listings for restaurants, businesses, and operators are updated when users, operators, or our editorial team identify inaccuracies.

Our main ferry pages (the ferry schedule, the Anguilla ferry guide, the public ferry guide, and ferry costs) show a “last reviewed” date so readers know when the information was last verified.

04 · Where information comes from

Sources We Use

We rely on primary and first-hand sources wherever possible. These include:

Direct observation at Blowing Point and Marigot Bay Ferry terminals.

Operator communications from GB Ferries, Funtime Charters, and Calypso Charters.

Anguilla government published information on departure taxes and entry requirements.

Marine and weather forecasts for estimated sea conditions and beach calmness.

The published Anguilla Taxi Association rate card for taxi fare estimates.

Community reports and corrections from travelers and local residents.

When information cannot be independently verified, we say so clearly and direct readers to confirm directly with the relevant authority or operator.

05 · Commercial relationships

Advertising & Sponsorship

Anguilla Ferry Times is funded by a mix of advertising and commercial partnerships:

Display advertising through Google AdSense.
Affiliate links, including Amazon Associates and Travelpayouts (Trip.com, Booking.com, and Aviasales). We may earn a commission when you buy or book through them, at no extra cost to you.
Private charter operators (Funtime Charters, Calypso Charters, and GB Ferries) may pay us a commission on bookings requested through this site, and manage their listings through our partner portal.
Advertisers and sponsors who pay for placements on the site, and taxi operators who subscribe to our operator portal.

Our editorial policy is firm: advertising and commercial relationships do not influence which ferry operators we feature, how we describe services, or what information we include or omit in our guides.

Sponsored listings are labeled as 'Sponsored' or 'Partner'.

Blog articles with affiliate products carry a disclosure at the top; other pages with affiliate links carry a disclosure on the page.

We do not accept payment to positively review or misrepresent any operator, and commission arrangements do not change the schedules, fares, or taxes we publish.

Programmatic ads may be served automatically based on page context — we do not control which ads appear.

06 · Reporting errors

Corrections & Updates

We take accuracy seriously. If you find an error — a wrong schedule time, an incorrect fare, outdated entry requirement, or inaccurate listing detail — please tell us. We review and correct confirmed errors as quickly as possible.

To report an inaccuracy or suggest an update, use our contact page. Please include the URL of the page in question and the specific information you believe is incorrect. Where possible, include a source (such as a terminal notice or operator confirmation) to help us verify.

We do not delete corrected content silently. Significant corrections to schedule or fare information are noted on the relevant page with a “Last reviewed” date update.

07 · Technology disclosure

Use of AI & Automation

Some content on Anguilla Ferry Times is drafted with the assistance of AI writing tools. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and approved by our editorial team before publication. We do not publish raw AI-generated text without human review and local verification.

Sea condition and beach calmness data is generated algorithmically from marine forecast sources, not on-site observations. The methodology is explained on our Data Sources page.
