Private Ganzies Beach Day from Port Zante, St. Kitts

Description

Spend your cruise day relaxing on Pinney’s Beach in Nevis, with private transfers from Port Zante and your beach setup waiting at Ganzies. Your journey begins with a scenic drive across St. Kitts’ Southeast Peninsula to Reggae Beach, followed by a private water-taxi ride across to Nevis and a short private transfer along the coast to Pinney’s Beach. The same journey is made in reverse, planned around your ship’s all-aboard time.

Available from 20 December 2026. US$699 for 1–4 guests, private to your group, up to 10 guests.

Why choose this beach day

• Private transfer from the ship: your driver meets you at Port Zante Cruise Terminal holding a Book Nevis sign
• A scenic journey across St. Kitts’ Southeast Peninsula and over to Nevis by private water taxi — with no public ferry queues
• A relaxed beach experience rather than a structured sightseeing itinerary
• Your return is planned around your ship’s all-aboard time

Your journey

1. Port Zante Cruise Terminal, St. Kitts – meet your driver and enjoy the scenic drive across the Southeast Peninsula
2. Reggae Beach Pier – board your private water taxi for the short crossing to Nevis
3. Oualie Pier, Nevis – your private Nevis transfer is waiting
4. Pinney’s Beach – a short drive along the coast to Ganzies
5. Ganzies – your loungers, umbrellas and welcome drink are ready, approximately 60 minutes after leaving Port Zante
6. Return – the same journey in reverse: Oualie Pier, Reggae Beach Pier, then Port Zante, timed around your all-aboard

Ganzies is on Pinney’s Beach, the long stretch of golden sand on the western side of Nevis, and it sits especially close to the shoreline, so the sea is only a few steps from your lounger.

This is a genuine Book Nevis experience. Ganzies is named after its owner, and the photographs on this page are from a previous Book Nevis beach day with cruise guests, used with permission.

Cruise Ship Guarantee

Full refund if your ship cannot call at St. Kitts.

If your cruise ship cancels its St. Kitts port call or is unable to make its scheduled call at St. Kitts, you will receive a full refund.

If your ship arrives substantially late or its schedule changes and there is no longer enough time to operate the beach day and return you to the cruise terminal in good time before your ship’s all-aboard time, we will first try to adjust the timings. If the excursion can no longer reasonably operate, you will receive a full refund.

If the ship calls at St. Kitts as scheduled and the excursion can operate, the normal cancellation policy applies. No refund is due if a guest chooses not to participate, fails to disembark, or misses the agreed meeting time.
