Both dock.... we were just in St Thomas on the Dream and had a blast.

We were in St Maarten in May on the Glory and docked... BUT we did take a water taxi from the pier to downtown. I think it was $6 per person for all day. We rode back and forth many times and did not feel unsafe. There are the larger boats.

I do not take water taxis in Nassau because they are the small boats that I do not feel safe in.

The most miserable I have ever been in a water taxi in Nassau...overwhelmed with diesel fumes, packed in like sardines...it is well worth a regular taxi fare..pay for a one way if you're not sure.

 

St. Maarten's water taxis are great, not overpacked like ferries, comfortable and a super-fast ride to the shopping area.

OK, I know the original question was about another port of call, but since thers two already mentioned it . . . I'll just add that the Nassau watercraft/ferries are often unsafe vessels that are overcrowded. This particular one had zero life vests on the upper lever. Zero.

Why wait in the hot sun for an overcrowded water taxi in Nassau to fill up? A regular taxi will take you to Paradise Island for not much more.
