Transportation to/from Pinel Island

[Gala]

For those who consider spending a few hours on Pinel Island, a taxi ride to the ferry cost $9 per person and takes some 30 min; a short ferry ride costs $7 (round trip) and runs from St.Maarten to Pinel on the half hour, and from Pinel to St.Maarten on the hour (from 9am to 5pm when we were there)

 

(St.Maarten is 1 hour ahead of the ship's time by the way)

 

Pinel is a little paradise island, with a separate snorkeling area and of course a beach, and also 2 restaurants and a very nice gift shop.

 

Have a great trip

Hi Gala,

 

You answered most of my questions in the other thread. Thank you. A couple of more questions: Do you need a taxi to the snorkeling area/beach? and I thought you said you went to French side in the other thread. Is the Ferry terminal in Marigot, St. Martin or in St. Maarten?
