Ferry Shuttle Coordinator
With SBF from the start

Before you travel
Patrick, our ferry shuttle coordinator, meets every flight and ferry arrival. He'll greet you and point you to your Philipsburg or Marigot shuttle, so you're not left to the crowd of drivers competing for fares. Your meeting point and timing are in your confirmation email.
Ask for Halley Aviation Services, our airport partner. They wait just before the customs and immigration area, wearing a yellow fluorescent vest. Airport policy means they usually can't hold a name sign, so please approach them directly. Full instructions are always included in your confirmation email.
Your driver meets you as you leave the baggage-claim area, usually holding a sign with your name. Every private transfer is arranged in advance with the St Barth Ferry team, and the details are sent in your final confirmation email.
Private crossings are planned individually, there's a lot of coordination involved, so each one is handled as a one-off. Send an inquiry through the private boat page and the St Barth Ferry team will work out the details with you before you travel; everything is confirmed by email.
From SXM airport, Philipsburg is usually quickest and runs most often. Marigot suits the French side and many villa stays. Both cross to Gustavia in about 55 minutes, the Marigot route covers a longer distance but runs a faster boat.
