Kitts is easily reachable via ferry from a number of islands—including Nevis, our sister island. Ferry rides are a quick and accessible way to travel to St. Kitts from within the Caribbean, with the added convenience of multiple ferry services throughout the week arriving and departing from Port Zante in Basseterre.

St. Kitts is centrally located in the Leeward Islands, making it a major hub for regional ferry travel in 2026. The most frequent connection is the St. Kitts-Nevis ferry, which runs multiple times daily between Basseterre (St. Kitts) and Charlestown (Nevis), taking only 25–45 minutes. For international island-hopping, the Makana Ferry provides vital links to Saba, Statia (St. Eustatius), and St. Maarten, typically operating on a set schedule (e.g., Mondays and Fridays). Additionally, private water taxis operate from the southern peninsula of St. Kitts (near Reggae Beach) to various docks on Nevis. If you are arriving from further afield, like Antigua or St. Barts, you would generally need a private charter or a flight, as there are currently no scheduled large-scale commercial ferries connecting those specific longer-distance routes to St. Kitts.
