✦ How do I get to Anguilla from Saint Martin by ferry?
The ferry departs from the port of Marigot (on the French side) and arrives at the Blowing Point Ferry Terminal in Anguilla. Ferries depart approximately every 45 minutes from 8:15 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased on-site at the ticket office; online reservations are not available. Be sure to bring cash in U.S. dollars: a departure tax of approximately 23 USD per person is collected upon return.
✦ How do I get to Anguilla from Saint Barthélemy?
There is no direct connection between Saint Barth and Anguilla. The standard route is: ferry from Saint Barth to Marigot (Saint Martin), then ferry from Marigot to Blowing Point (Anguilla). Be sure to bring a valid passport and cash in U.S. dollars for taxes, and check the schedules for both crossings to ensure your connections are coordinated properly.

When departing from Saint Barth or Saint Martin, exit clearance is processed electronically via the official French customs platform.

Saint Barthélemy is an Overseas Country and Territory (PTOM) outside the European Union’s customs territory. Travelers departing from Saint Barth for Anguilla and returning must comply with customs allowances for goods brought back (alcohol, tobacco, merchandise). Keep your receipts for purchases made in Anguilla and ensure that quantities remain within reasonable limits for personal use to avoid any customs duties or port taxes upon your return.

The ideal peak season runs from December to April: the weather is dry, the waters are crystal-clear, and temperatures hover around 27°C. The rainy and hurricane season runs from July to October.
