Private charters are helpful for airport arrivals, tight connections, group travel, luggage-heavy trips, and travelers who want a more flexible crossing.
The public ferry is the best value option for many travelers, but shared charter is often worth considering when timing, luggage, and airport convenience matter, arriving or departing.
Shared charters make the most sense when you fly through SXM and want a smoother transfer between the airport and Anguilla, on arrival or on your way home.
If you are traveling with luggage, the meet-and-greet and baggage support can make arriving and departing easier.
A reserved shared charter can reduce stress if you are coordinating flights, transfers, villa check-in or check-out, or a same-day connection.
The higher fare can feel worth it when convenience, timing, luggage support, and comfort matter more than the lowest possible price.
Use this comparison to decide whether the premium fare is worth it for your trip.
| Factor | Shared Charter | Public Ferry |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Travelers flying into or out of SXM who want a faster, smoother, more premium transfer | Travelers focused on the lowest-cost scheduled crossing between Blowing Point and Marigot |
| Booking | Usually booked ahead with a selected operator | Usually walk-up service at the ferry terminal |
| Airport connection | Often includes SXM airport pickup or drop-off | Requires arranging your own taxi between SXM and Marigot |
| Cost | Higher fare, with taxes and fees often separate | Lower fare, but taxi transfer and fees may still apply |
| Experience | Smaller-group, premium, direct, and convenience-focused | Simple, affordable, scheduled public transportation |
Use this sequence to avoid timing issues, missing details, or surprise fees.
Arriving, allow room for immigration, baggage claim, and flight delays. Departing, pick a time that gets you to SXM well before check-in closes.
Ask whether airport pickup, luggage handling, refreshments, and taxes are included or billed separately.
Keep your passport, booking confirmation, card, cash backup, and onward accommodation details available.
Arriving, a representative may meet you at SXM arrivals and guide you to the dock. Departing, check in at Blowing Point at the time the operator gives you.
Confirm the details before you book
Ask about pickup time, luggage, taxes, child pricing, and whether airport or hotel transfers are included.
A few simple checks can help your arrival go smoothly.
Shared charter pricing may not include every tax or fee. Leaving Anguilla for the Dutch side has a higher departure tax, so confirm the full total before travel day.
Do not book too tight after landing or before your flight home. Immigration, baggage, and delays can affect your connection.
Bring a card and some cash. Payment rules can vary depending on the operator, terminal, fee, and direction of travel.
Best strategy: Share your flight details with the operator, confirm what is included, leave enough time around your flight, and keep your passport and booking confirmation ready.
Shared charters are a strong fit for SXM arrivals and departures, families, couples, luggage-heavy trips, and travelers who prefer a premium reserved transfer over the lowest-cost public ferry route.
