Map of both sea routes from St. Maarten to Anguilla
Both sea routes end at Blowing Point — private charter (dotted) vs. public ferry via Marigot (solid).
Easiest — Private / Shared Charter
Airport to charter dock, approx 2 minutes through the lagoon
Just ~2 minutes from Arrivals to the private dock, straight through the lagoon.
⛴ Pre-booking required. Operators like Funtime Charters and Calypso Charters run this transfer daily — pickup at arrivals, Dutch immigration at the dock, then straight to Blowing Point.
Budget — Public Ferry via Marigot
Marigot Ferry Terminal, five departure windows
A ~20 min taxi to Marigot, then five windows before boarding.
