Common questions

How do I find my airport shuttle?

Patrick, our ferry shuttle coordinator, meets every flight and ferry arrival. He'll greet you and point you to your Philipsburg or Marigot shuttle — so you're not left to the crowd of drivers competing for fares. Your meeting point and timing are in your confirmation email.

How does VIP fast-track work at the airport?

Our airport partner waits just before the customs and immigration area, wearing a yellow fluorescent vest. Airport policy means they usually can't hold a name sign, so please approach them directly. Full instructions are always included in your confirmation email.

How does a private taxi transfer work?

Your driver meets you as you leave the baggage-claim area, usually holding a sign with your name. Every private transfer is arranged in advance, one-on-one with Chris, and the details are sent in your final confirmation email.

How do I arrange a private boat charter?

Private crossings are planned individually — there's a lot of coordination involved, so each one is handled as a one-off. Send an inquiry through the private boat page and Chris will work out the details with you before you travel; everything is confirmed by email.

Which route should I take from the airport?

From SXM airport, Philipsburg (Great Bay Express) is usually quickest and runs most often. Marigot (Voyager) suits the French side and many villa stays. Both cross to Gustavia in about 55 minutes — Voyager covers a longer distance but runs a faster boat.

Can I book the shuttle, VIP or taxi without a ferry ticket?

Yes. The airport shuttle, VIP fast-track, private taxi and private boat can all be booked on their own — or added to your crossing in a single checkout if you're sailing with us.

Do I need a passport?

Yes — every passenger needs a valid passport for the crossing, and some nationalities also require a visa. Check your requirements before you travel and keep your documents easy to reach on the day.
