St Maarten to Anguilla Transfers
The Route Explained
How to Get From St Maarten to Anguilla
Anguilla sits just 8 miles north of St Maarten — close enough to see from the shore, yet entirely separate in character. Getting between the two islands is a short journey, and the right transfer makes it a defining part of your luxury travel experience rather than a logistics challenge.
There are several ways to make the crossing. For guests who value privacy, speed, and door-to-door service, a private boat charter combined with a chauffeur vehicle on the Anguilla side is the definitive choice.
