sailingmickey Posted October 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 7, 2019 We will aboard the Harmony in March docking at the Dr. A.C. Wathey Cruise & Cargo Facilities, St. Maarten's pier and cruise termina in in March. It is my understanding the terminal is a good 20 minute walk, since I can only walk short distances, I am traveling with a scooter. Is there accessible transportation from the port to the center of Philipsburg? Suggestions of what to do in Philipsburg will be appreciated. Thank you!!

Rare Essiesmom Posted October 7, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 7, 2019 You shouldn't need accessible transportation unless your scooter battery doesn't hold a charge. You should be able to scoot right into town - don't know the distance...less than a mile? If you can go up and down a couple of steps you can take the little ferry across...I have seen them help people on and load their scooter.

mets123 Posted October 8, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Keep in mind that not all ferries are accessible. You may have to wait a few minutes for one that is. That being said, it's very doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mets123 Posted October 8, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 8, 2019 FYI, there is a shopping area right on the pier. Plenty of shops, bars, and places to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailingmickey Posted October 8, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Thank you, that is important to know, I doubt my husband can walk that far (stroke survivor). Guess we will have to find accessible transportation from the port to downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
