Highlights

St Barts is known as the Jewel of the Caribbean and you’ll find out why when you sail there from St Maarten. You’ll have free time to explore St Barts independently, take a guided tour, go shopping or just relax on one of the island’s pristine beaches.

St Barts is just a 45-minute sail from St Maarten’s Pelican Marina. Departing Simpson Bay, you’ll arrive in Gustavia Harbor, the hub of activity in St Barts. Sidewalk cafes offer crepes and croissants for breakfast, car rentals meet the boat, the taxi stand is a few feet away, and boutiques are open for business. It is advisable to have a rental car or taxi arranged before arrival in St Barts. During the December to March high season, taxis are limited.

The exceptional island of St Barts has white sandy beaches, great snorkeling locations, great restaurants and a unique shell museum. It’s a day guaranteed to entertain, crammed with sights and delights!

Enjoy lunch at a local burger shack, or go for fine dining at one of the exclusive beach side hotels. Many of the shops in Gustavia may close over the lunchtime period, so it’s recommended to go shopping in the morning.

Check-in for the boat is at 3:45pm for the 4:00pm departure. Arrive back to Pelican Marina at approximately 4:45pm.

Ferry to St. Barth’s - Super friendly crew! Very rough ride over to St. Barts but the captain did his best maneuvering through the rough waters. Boat was very hot inside with little wind movement even with all the small side windows open. Secret tip: you’re allowed to sit outside in the seats at the back of the boat. You might get wet but much cooler and less claustrophobic

Good for one day trip - Rough ride on the way over (don't blame the company) Captain knew how to handle those waves, return was fine. Departed and Arrived ontime, the only down side was the 'open bar', they served 1 drink each way, I understand that due to the choppy ride they were not able to serve drinks but the way back was perfectly fine to serve more than 1 drink.

Very Good - The trip was very punctual and extremely conveniently located next door to our hotel. The ride was bumpy on the way there, but nothing amounting to sickness. Passengers are offered drinks twice each way including pop, water or beer. The boat isn’t air conditioned so it was quite warm.

Honest Review - I gave 4 stars because the ferry was quite crowded and considering outside temps very sweaty. Some people really need to reserve 2 seats. I have been on this trip 3 times. The first 2 times (May ‘23 & Feb ‘24) were both quite pleasant as the ferry was not overly crowded. Warning: before booking, seriously consider not taking the ferry if you think you might experience motion sickness at all. Crew of the Edge II are great. St. BART’s is beautiful. Enjoy!

Ferry ride - The ferry ride going was rough, but they do provide bags for those who may feel sick. The ride back was better. I wouldn’t recommend going to St. Barts during their slow season since everything closes early.

I think guests should be... - I think guests should be informed prior as to how rough the trip is there. The way back was decent however to go due to how rough the waters are, it was pretty scary. The crew was excellent in handling everyone that got sick.
