Ferry Info
 
Has anyone taken a private boat from SXM to Anguilla rather than the ferry from Marigot? If so, what company and how much did it run you? Thanks.

Private boat is great--once you get over the sticker shock. It costs $250/285 for the crossing. I have used CJ's service, Funtime--Gotcha is another
that comes highly recommended.

Thanks for the info, are you met right at SXM? And did you pick those places online?

Hi - we've used Garfield Richardson's Gotcha last year and will be using him again next week. What a blast & so easy. After you get your luggage & clear immigration, you are met by a Gotcha rep and taken to the boat across the street. After getting a Carib, you take care of some paperwork and you are off. A quick & fun 20 minutes later you are at Blowing Point in Anguilla -- you get off the boat, run through Anguilla immigration and then hop back onto the boat. Then Gotcha will take you directly to your hotel on the beach (if, of course, you are staying on the beach). Hop out of the boat in ankle deep water and walk up to the hotel. We felt like arriving royalty last year. :)

Gotcha sounds like the one for us. Do you have a contact number or website? Thanks so much.
