You will also find 2 other direct ferry crossings from the Dutch side of Sint-Maarten, from Philipsburg Terminal and Simpson Bay Terminal in Pelican Marina.

By Plane

Reaching St. Barts by plane typically involves flying into the island's Gustaf III Airport (SBH), which is known for its short runway and dramatic approach over the hills. Since St. Barts is a small island, there are no direct international flights to Gustaf III Airport, so a connecting flight is necessary from a neighboring island.

The typical routes for reaching St. Barts by plane include:

• Flying into Princess Juliana International Airport on St Martin (SXM), before taking a short connecting flight via regional airlines to St Barts (journey time is approximately 10-15 minutes).
• Flying in from San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) or Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in San Juan, Puerto Rico and from there taking a connecting flight to St. Barts, via regional airlines.

Taxis

There are 2 main taxi ranks on St Barts. You will find these at St Jean Airport and in Gustavia, along Rue de la République. Fares tend to be higher in the evenings and during peak holiday times, as well as on Sundays and over festive periods. It's advisable to confirm the taxi rate from Gustavia to Marigot before choosing to hop in a taxi.
