Visit The Islands Around St. Maarten

If you’ve spent time on St. Maarten, you’ve probably noticed the beautiful islands in the distance — Anguilla, Saba, and St. Barth. While St. Maarten itself offers a wealth of activities, the neighboring islands each have their own unique charm.

Island hopping is one of the best ways to experience more of the Caribbean during your stay. Ferry services make it easy to visit nearby destinations like Anguilla and St. Barth, while travel to Saba now includes both flights and limited ferry options.

At SintMaartenVacation.com, we help you plan your island-hopping experience from start to finish — whether you're booking a ferry, comparing travel options, or deciding which island fits your travel style best.

Travel to Saba

While ferry services to Saba were previously more frequent, travel options have recently changed. Visitors can now reach Saba primarily by air, with limited ferry services available depending on conditions and schedules.
