About the crossings
Of the ferry routes currently operating between St. Martin and St. Barths, the Great Bay Express is generally the most affordable. A one-way ticket costs around 70 USD, while return tickets can often be better value. The Voyager departs from Marigot and has a longer route, which makes the crossing slightly more expensive. Travelers looking for a day trip can also consider the Edge Ferry, available through Viator, which is often well-priced for this type of excursion.

Travel Documents
A valid passport is generally required when traveling to St. Barth, even if you depart from the French side of Saint-Martin. Although both are French territories, St. Barth lies outside the Schengen Area, which means border checks apply. For EU citizens, no visa is usually needed, but a passport (not just an ID card) is mandatory. For some nationalities, however, a French (Schengen) visa may be required. Children must also have their own passport.
Important: Always check the latest entry requirements with the relevant authorities before you travel.
