THE VALLEY, Anguilla - The Anguilla Tourist Board has
announced the introduction of a new, late night ferry service from Sint Maarten
to Anguilla, starting on Tuesday, December 1 , 2015.
The new service will depart from the Anguilla-St. Maarten
Ferry Terminal at 11:30 PM nightly, arriving at Anguilla’s Blowing Point Ferry
Terminal at approximately 12:00 midnight. Two private companies, Funtime
Charters and GB Ferries, have been authorized to operate the service. The fare
will be US$80.00 for adults and US$40 for children, one way.
The service will operate on a rotation basis, and is timed
to facilitate the transfer of passengers arriving on the American Airlines’
flight which gets into St. Maarten at 10:35 PM. The departure time will be
adjusted if the flight arrival into St. Maarten is delayed.
“The implementation of this service is the result of
extensive and fruitful discussions between a number of stakeholders, including
the Anguilla Air and Sea Ports Authority, the Government of Anguilla and in
particular the Customs and Immigration Departments, and the Charter Companies,”
said ATB Chairperson Donna A. Banks. “It
is an important indication of the new and collaborative partnership between the
public and private sector. We are committed to working together to improve
access to Anguilla, which is critical to the overall success of our tourism
industry,” she concluded.
