The ferry terminal provides daily services to Nevis as well as services to other

destinations. The Basseterre Ferry Terminal has a pier of 200 ft and can accommodate three vessels that provide daily services between St. Kitts and Nevis.  There are also chartered trips to St. Eustatius (Statia), Saba and St. Maarten.
