Connection planning
Build the ferry into the whole travel day
A good ferry connection starts before you reach the terminal. Plan around airport arrival time, immigration, luggage collection, traffic and check-in so the crossing feels coordinated rather than rushed.
Choose the right port
Philipsburg may suit many SXM airport connections, while Marigot may suit French-side stays or specific route preferences.
Allow airport transfer time
International arrivals need time for immigration, baggage claim and the drive to the ferry terminal.
Respect check-in cutoffs
Ferry check-in is required before boarding. Arrive early enough for documents, luggage and terminal formalities.
Keep passports handy
St Barth is a separate destination. Keep passports and travel documents easy to access during the connection.
