St Martin Ferry Map
The ferry system in Saint Martin serves the northern Leeward Islands. As the map shows, the island is divided between French Saint Martin and Dutch Sint Maarten, so ferry departures split between Marigot and Philipsburg. The routes are known for short, high-speed trips to nearby destinations like Anguilla and Saint Barth. For many travelers, the ferry is faster than flying, but you’ll need to deal with the port authorities and customs rules for both sides of the island.

“You can eat breakfast in French Marigot and be on a beach in Anguilla by mid-morning. The boats are fast and the water is gorgeous, but keep your passport within reach, because even a 20-minute ride involves an international border crossing.”
Before you use the map to plan your departures from Marigot or Philipsburg, note these two things:
- Ferries to Anguilla and St. Barts run from both sides of the island. Double-check whether your boat leaves from the French or Dutch pier to avoid an unexpected, costly taxi ride across the border.
- Expect a cash-only port tax or departure fee at the terminal gate that isn’t usually included in your online ticket. Bring small amounts of Euros or US dollars.
