The experience

St. Barths is only a 45 minute fast-ferry ride away, and this trip takes care of all the logistics so you can simply enjoy the day. We collect you from your hotel, villa or Airbnb, check you in personally at Bobby's Marina and brief you on the day ahead. Then you board the Great Bay Express.

Once you land in Gustavia, the day is yours. Browse the designer boutiques around the harbor, have a cold drink at Le Select (Jimmy Buffett's old haunt), or walk ten minutes to Shell Beach, a calm turquoise cove close to the ferry dock. To see more of the island, rent a car or scooter, or join a local island tour.

Watch the sun set from the dock before the ferry home. Your driver will be waiting in Philipsburg to take you back to your accommodation.

Suggested day
