This calculator is maintained as a planning guide for the public ferry between Blowing Point, Anguilla and Marigot, St. Martin. It separates the base ferry fare from departure taxes and port fees because travelers often budget for only the ticket price and then meet extra charges at the terminal.
Amounts are based on the current fare tables and fee rules tracked by Anguilla Ferry Times, then organized by route, traveler age, residency, and trip direction. The estimate is useful for comparing cash needed at the ferry counter, card-eligible taxes, and whether a private charter may make sense for a group or tight airport connection.
How we keep it useful
Ferry prices can change by operator, policy update, or port procedure. We review public rate information, terminal notes, and local operator guidance, then flag the calculator as an estimate so travelers still confirm the final total before departure.

SXM → Anguilla: St. Martin Port Exit Fee
When departing from Marigot (French SXM) toward Anguilla, an exit fee of €7 per person applies to ages 4 and up. This fee is paid in euros or by card at the ticket office. USD is not accepted. Children under 4 are exempt.
The ferry ticket is only one part of your total crossing cost.
When planning your ferry budget, include the boat ticket, departure taxes, terminal-related fees, taxi transfers, and any onward transportation after arriving in Anguilla.
Base ferry fare
The public ferry ticket is $30 USD for adults (12+) and $15 USD for children (2–11), paid in cash on board. Charter fares vary by operator.
Departure taxes
Departure taxes apply and differ by direction, route, age group, and travel type. Non-resident adults (12+) departing Anguilla to the French side pay $28 USD; to the Dutch side, $36 USD. Residents and day-trippers pay less (see the fee tables).
Ground transfers
If arriving through SXM airport, include the 20–30 minute taxi to Marigot in your total budget. Fares from SXM to Marigot are typically $20–30 USD.
Luggage or special handling
Most normal luggage is straightforward, but groups, large bags, or special items may affect transfer planning and charter pricing.
Private Charter Pricing
Private charters cost more than the public ferry, but they can save time and reduce friction, especially for airport arrivals near SXM, late connections, groups, or travelers with more luggage.

Charter prices are planning estimates only. Confirm the current quote directly with the provider, including taxes, luggage, pickup location, timing, and passenger count.
When to Consider a Charter
The 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.
Late SXM arrival
A charter may help if your flight lands after the last public ferry (6:00 PM from Marigot / 5:15 PM from Blowing Point).
Groups of 4+
For families or groups, a private transfer can sometimes feel smoother even when it costs more.
Lots of luggage
A charter can reduce friction if you are traveling with extra bags, kids, wedding luggage, or sports gear.
Tighter schedule
If timing matters, a charter departing near SXM airport can give you more control than waiting for the next public ferry.
Ferry Cost Planning Tips
A few simple habits can prevent surprises at the terminal and help you budget the full journey.
Carry cash both ways: it is required
Public ferry fares are cash only. Bring enough USD or XCD for fares ($30 USD adult), taxes ($28 USD departing Anguilla to the French side), taxis, and tips. Small bills are especially useful.
Budget beyond the boat ticket
Your real total cost may include the taxi to Marigot ($20–30 USD from SXM), terminal fees, departure taxes, tips, and onward transport after arrival.
Check child and resident pricing
Children, residents, and day-trippers have different tax categories depending on route and terminal. See the fee tables above for the full breakdown.
Confirm charter quotes directly
Private and shared charter prices can change based on provider, route, timing, number of passengers, and luggage. The figures above are planning estimates only.
Estimate the full trip cost before you arrive at the terminal
Use the calculator, carry cash for fares and taxes, and compare the public ferry against charter options if your arrival time or group size makes the standard route less convenient.
How to compare ferry trip estimates
Describe the journey you will actually take
Start with the direction of travel, whether you are returning, and the people in your group. A day visitor arriving from St. Martin and a traveler leaving Anguilla for an airport connection can have different transport needs even when both use the same public ferry. Enter each traveler in the appropriate category and review the result before adding other parts of the trip. The calculator is a budget worksheet, so changing a selection does not make a booking or secure a departure.
Read the breakdown before using the total
Keep the boat fare separate from terminal charges and ground transport. A number that covers the crossing alone will not describe the cost of getting from an airport to your accommodation. Check which items appear in the estimate and write down anything still missing. When comparing options for a group, use the group total consistently; do not compare one person’s public ferry fare with a whole-party transfer quote. Keep the selected currency alongside any amount you save.
Check each passenger’s fee category
Enter children’s ages individually: ticket age bands and departure-tax age bands are not the same, so one child can fall into different groups for the fare and the tax. If you select a resident or day-trip category, confirm that you qualify and carry any supporting documents the terminal may ask for. Keep the breakdown so you can ask which line an unexpected charge relates to.
Work through an arrival and a return separately
For example, a party arriving at SXM and staying in Anguilla needs to consider the journey to its departure dock, the boat crossing, and the ride from the arrival terminal to its accommodation. On the return, the order reverses, but the departure charges and transfer arrangements may differ, so calculate each direction rather than doubling one terminal’s fees. Use the estimator for the ferry portions and the Anguilla taxi estimator for the island road journey. Obtain the St. Martin taxi quote separately; the Anguilla taxi tool does not cover that leg.
Compare a charter quote on the same basis
Ask the charter provider to identify what its price includes: airport pickup, boat transfer, luggage, and terminal charges should each be clear. Confirm whether the quoted amount is per person or for the booking, and whether your arrival time can be accommodated. A cheaper displayed crossing can become a more expensive overall transfer once the missing legs are added. Use the airport transfer guide to check which dock your chosen service uses.
Keep a record of your assumptions
Save the route, passenger selections, currency, and date alongside your estimate. Before paying, compare these details with the operator’s current quote and ask about any difference. If a rate is unavailable, treat that part of the budget as unresolved rather than free. Leave room for costs that depend on your arrangements, such as waiting or additional stops.
