There is no ferry service between Nevis and Antigua.

I recently did a Google search for images of St. Kitts and came across a travel diary by a couple who traveled to all the islands with their car. They had to bring the car on boats carrying freight. Not sure they went to Nevis but they did go to St. Kitts.

Sorry I don't have the url for it, but you might want to search.

Have a terrific time.

Hi, here is an article I found. It covers some of the places you mentioned. You really need to look into flights.

"New passenger ferry service linking Caribbean islands to be launched next month"

04:16 2005-08-28
A new passenger ferry service linking Barbados and several other eastern Caribbean islands will be launched next month, an official said Saturday.

The Star Ferries inter-island service will be based between Barbados and the French territory of Guadeloupe and will make stops in St. Lucia, Dominica and Martinique, said Reynold McClean, CEO of Remac Tours, a Barbadian company that will operate the service. The ferry can hold 400 passengers and will offer meals, a children's play area and duty free shops upon the service's launch in mid-September, McClean said.

McClean said the service will be aimed both at tourists and businesspeople needing to move around the region. He declined to say how much passengers will be charged for the service. The company hopes to expand to other islands like St. Vincent and Grenada in time for the Cricket World Cup, which will be held in the Caribbean for the first time in 2007, McClean said, reported AP.

You really should look into LIAT airlines. They have passes - Super explorer offers you unlimited travel for 30 days through the entire LIAT network-covering all of LIAT’s 18 destinations** . The Caribbean Super Explorer is available for US$ 525 (US$499 Off peak)* from your travel agent or your local LIAT office.

LIAT fly to 20 destinations:
Santo Domingo, San Juan, Tortola, St Thomas, St Croix
Anguilla, St Maarten, St Kitts, Nevis, Antigua
Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St Lucia, Barbados
St Vincent, Grenada, Tobago, Trinidad, Guyana

There is ferry service between all the Grenadines. Can't answer for the others. Liat at times will have special packages to fly between islands, I think Caribbean star does as well. SVG are my favorite islands. Sounds like an awesome trip.
