MaryD...question for you
 
Hi,
You answered my earlier post about flight cost to Anguilla. If you don't mind, I have some additional questions for you.
Do you remember how long the ferry ride was from St. Martin to Anguilla? Cost? Was the ride fairly smooth or choppy?
In St. Martin, how far is the dock from airport? How did you get to the dock? If by cab, how much did it cost?
Thanks!

We've done this every year & it's a snap. You take a 20 minute cab ride to the ferry dock in Marigot (French side); costs around $14 for 2 people. There's a $2.50/per person departure tax which you pay at the dock. The ferry leaves every 1/2 hour and it's a 20 minute ride to Anguilla. It's normally not very choppy but some of the older ferries still in use can be a little bit bumpy (really nothing bad at all & you see Anguilla as soon as you clear the Marigot harbor & everything is fine then!). The ferry costs $10 per person & you pay on board. There are always taxis at Blowing Point (where you go thru customs & immigration again) in Anguilla. It's a piece of cake & we well over $100 apiece this year by flying to SXM rather than AXA.

I have also done the ferry many many times! Mary is right it is a snap!
Once we land at St. Martin, I know I am on island time and try to enjoy!
