Getting from St. Kitts to Nevis

Ferry from Basseterre, St. Kitts

From the St. Kitts airport, take a short taxi ride to Basseterre, St. Kitts, and board a ferry to Nevis (the ferry ride to Nevis takes about 45 minutes). Once you purchase your ticket, proceed to the second window to pay a separate tax. The taxi from the airport to the ferry landing costs about $15.00 U.S., and the ferry to Nevis costs about $11.00 U.S. The ferry arrives in Charlestown, Nevis, where numerous taxis are available.

Seabridge from the Southern Peninsula of St. Kitts

You may also take a taxi from the St. Kitts airport (about 20 minutes through what I think is possibly the most beautiful scenery in the world!) to the Southern Peninsula of St. Kitts and board the Seabridge (a car ferry that also accepts pedestrians). The travel time from St. Kitts to Nevis with the Seabridge is about 25 minutes.

If you choose to take the Seabridge, be sure to let your hotel or house rental agency know so you can arrange to have a taxi meet you upon arrival in Nevis. If you choose this option, expect to pay $35.00 U.S. for the taxi ride, then about $8.00 U.S. per person for the Seabridge.
