How to Avoid Missing the Last Ferry
Use this simple flow if you are arriving late into SXM or planning a late-day ferry crossing.
Confirm your direction
Make sure you are checking the correct final ferry based on whether you are leaving St. Martin or leaving Anguilla.
Arrive early
Plan to be at the terminal at least 30 minutes before the final departure.
Switch to backup if timing fails
If you are too close to the last ferry, compare charters, flights, or overnight options instead of rushing.
Planning Tips for Late SXM Arrivals
Late arrivals are where travelers most often run into last-ferry problems.
Book late SXM arrivals carefully
If your flight lands at SXM after 3:00 PM, compare the public ferry schedule with private charter options before travel day.
Allow enough airport buffer
SXM arrivals can take time. Include baggage claim, immigration, taxi transfer to Marigot, ferry check-in, taxes, and boarding.
Do not target the final ferry if timing is tight
The last ferry is risky if your flight is delayed, bags are slow, traffic builds, or terminal processing takes longer than expected.
Have your backup ready
Save charter contacts, know nearby hotel options, and decide ahead of time what you will do if you miss the final public ferry.
SXM arrival tip: Do not only compare your flight landing time to the last ferry time. Include baggage claim, immigration, taxi transfer to Marigot, ferry check-in, taxes, and boarding.
Make sure you are heading to the right terminal.
If you are traveling from St. Martin to Anguilla, the public ferry usually departs from Marigot Ferry Terminal. If you are leaving Anguilla for St. Martin, the public ferry usually departs from Blowing Point Ferry Terminal.
Late-day mistakes cost more because there may not be another public ferry available after the final departure.
If your timing is close, plan the backup before you arrive
The last public ferry is not the time to gamble. Check the schedule, arrive early, and compare charters or overnight options if your SXM arrival is too late.
