Any advice for using ferry to Nevis island

[quaker77]

We will visit St.Kitts in April and looking for activities the day we dock with celibrity.

Going to Nevis island and go to the beach is on our list . The package offer with celibrity is nice but $$$. I found that ferrys are going there . Someone have advice on this or other nice beach with crystal blue water like there

Thanks

The big issue is, what time your ship docks in St Kitts and when it leaves. There are several ferries that go between the two islands. It is a 45 min ride each way so your time can be limited. The excursion that your ship offers is probably the catamaran sail to Nevis. It does not really give you any time to see Nevis.

The ferry leaves just about every hour, there's also private water taxis you can hire. Those will cost about $100 each way, the ferry only about $8 each way, but just so you know the water taxi option in case you're pinched for time. Once you get to Charlestown, Nevis there's car rental in town or taxis. With car rental your required to purchase a local license for $20, no good reason for it other than collecting $20 from you, but mandatory. Taxi may be the better option but explore both. Driving is on the left, you really can't get lost, the island is round with a mountain in the center, the one main road circles it. Its all pretty straightforward. Enjoy!
