Board the fast ferry from Marigot harbour and within 20 minutes you're on Anguilla — the Caribbean's most serene, ultra-luxury island, with 33 powder-white beaches and Michelin-calibre beach restaurants. A bucket-list island-hop that only St. Martin's French-side port makes this easy.
What to expect
Stroll the five minutes from the cruise tender dock to Marigot's ferry terminal and board the regular Link Ferry service — fast, air-conditioned catamarans crossing the channel in 20 minutes. On arrival in Blowing Point, Anguilla, take a short taxi to Shoal Bay East, consistently rated among the world's top beaches: powdery white sand, transparent turquoise water, and almost no crowds. Settle in at one of the barefoot-chic beach bars — Uncle Ernie's or Elodea — for grilled lobster and a rum punch. Alternatively, Meads Bay delivers world-class dining at Blanchards or Manoah at Zemi Beach. Return ferries run frequently throughout the day.
Good to know
Bring USD cash for the ferry and departure tax; no advance booking required for the ferry. Allow minimum 5 hours on island to justify the crossing — check all-aboard time carefully; this suits ports with a 6 PM or later all-aboard. No cruise card accepted; bring your passport for the Anguilla immigration entry. Taxis on Anguilla are fixed-rate; agree the fare before setting off.
