Why this route works well

The Reggae Beach crossing is the route we recommend most often, and it’s the one we run several times a day:

  • Families with kids: child seats are available at $20 per ground leg, the second driver on the Nevis side means no transferring kids and bags onto a taxi rank, and the boat ride of around 6–8 minutes is short enough for nervous travellers.
  • Late arrivals and overnight connections: we run at night with no after-hours fee, and we track flights, so a delayed inbound doesn’t add a charge or risk leaving you stranded.
  • Hotel guests with full luggage: you don’t touch your bags between SKB and check-in — the same crew handles loading at the airport, the boat, and the Nevis vehicle.
  • Four Seasons guests: the boat routes directly to the resort’s own pier (10–15 mins), so you skip the onward Nevis taxi entirely.
