The Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, Utilities, Housing and Tourism (MICUHT) advises the traveling public that the Anguilla Air and Sea Ports Authority (AASPA) has further approved two additional round-trips to the daily ferry service between Blowing Point and Marigot.
After noting a strong indication that travel between the islands is showing pre-pandemic interest, the Government of Anguilla (GoA), the Board of Directors, Management and Staff of AASPA and the various stakeholders have agreed to the following schedule effective 11th April 2022:
DEPARTURE FROM BLOWING POINT DEPARTURE FROM MARIGOT
8:30AM 9:30AM
9:30AM 10:30AM
11:30AM 12:30PM
1:30PM 2:30PM
3:30PM 4:30PM
5:15PM 6:00PM
Again, AASPA thanks the GoA and all the agencies and departments involved, the ferry owners and operators as well as the French Authorities who in full collaboration continue to progress to pre-pandemic travel between the islands. All travelers and boat crew are encouraged to exercise caution and to practice the established safety protocols of mask wearing where applicable, frequent hand-washing and social distancing.
Commenting on the additions to the daily schedule, the Honourable Minister MICUHT Mr. Haydn Hughes shared, “I am grateful for the swift and timely action of everyone involved. The increased demand is a welcomed sign for all but more specifically the boat owners and operators. Collectively we are taking the necessary steps to bring this trade back to its former glory while keeping all Anguillians and our neighbours in St. Martin safe.”
