How the St. Kitts to Nevis ferry schedule works
This is the live St. Kitts and Nevis ferry schedule. Passenger boats run between Basseterre Ferry Terminal in St. Kitts and Charlestown Pier in Nevis, about 30 minutes each way. The iConnect car ferry carries vehicles and foot passengers between Charlestown and Majors Bay, about 40 minutes. Locals often just call them the boats, so this is the boat schedule too: times by vessel and by day, from the operators' published sailings. Filter the timetable above, or open fares and how the crossing works if you need the price before you go.

Tickets, fares and the pier tax
One-way adult fares run from $25 ECD to $40 ECD depending on which boat is running, with children from $15 ECD, plus a $1 ECD pier tax on the Basseterre crossing. The cheapest fares belong to the iConnect car ferry to Majors Bay; the passenger boats between Basseterre and Charlestown sit at the top of that range. A return is simply two one-way fares. Work out your exact fare by boat and party size. Tickets are bought at the terminal before boarding; cash, card and cheques are all accepted.
