Getting to Anguilla You’ve got two options for getting to Anguilla: short flights from other Caribbean islands or a ferry. Our recommendation for families: the air service. While the ferry is fast and comfortable, weather conditions can sometimes make it a choppy ride. Air Service Air travelers arrive at Wallblake airport either by American Eagle from American’s hub in San Juan, Puerto Rico (the route used by most American travelers) or by connection from nearby Saint Maarten (either plane or ferry) or other island (there are connections from St. Thomas in the USVI, Antigua, and St. Kitts. Service from Sint Maarten is available on

The 20-30 minute ride from Marigot on the French side of St. Martin to Blowing Point, Anguilla costs US$10 each way (plus a US $3 departure fee each way). The trip takes 20 to 25 minutes. To take the ferry to Anguilla, stop by the open air ferry station on the north end of the market in Marigot. Go up to the window, pay your $2 departure tax, and sign up on the manifest sheet, listing your name, passport number, and nationality. The ferry fee will be collected on board.
