View Charter OptionsThe public ferry is usually the best value. A charter makes more sense when convenience, timing, or group comfort matters more than the lowest possible fare.
A charter may help if your flight lands after the last public ferry (6:00 PM from Marigot / 5:15 PM from Blowing Point).
For families or groups, a private transfer can sometimes feel smoother even when it costs more.
A charter can reduce friction if you are traveling with extra bags, kids, wedding luggage, or sports gear.
If timing matters, a charter departing near SXM airport can give you more control than waiting for the next public ferry.
A few simple habits can prevent surprises at the terminal and help you budget the full journey.
