Day Trip to St. Barths: Ferry Adventure from St. Maarten

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel, resort, or villa, followed by a scenic transfer to Bobby’s Marina. Enjoy a personalized check-in and a short briefing about your exciting day ahead. Then, step aboard the Great Bay Express, a high-speed ferry that will whisk you across the sea — in just 45 minutes, you’ll arrive at the stunning island of St. Barths!

Once ashore, the day is yours to design. Choose to explore the island by renting a car or scooter, or join an island tour guided by one of the friendly local experts.

No visit to St. Barths is complete without a stroll through Gustavia, the island’s charming capital. Discover its stylish boutique stores, and enjoy a refreshing drink at Le Select — the legendary spot once frequented by Jimmy Buffett.

The island is lined with beautiful beaches, each offering its own slice of paradise. While you’ll need transportation to reach most of them from Gustavia, you’ll be rewarded with soft sands, turquoise waters, and tropical cocktails served with a view.

A wonderful way to spend your day is to explore Gustavia in the morning, then relax at Shell Beach — a serene bay with crystal-clear waters, just a 10-minute walk from the dock where your journey began.

As the day comes to a close, watch the sunset from the dock, capturing one last perfect moment before your return to Philipsburg. Your transport will be waiting to take you back to your resort, filled with memories of an unforgettable day in paradise.
