Ferry Booking for Havelock Island: Complete Travel Guide

Traveling from Port Blair to Havelock Island is an unforgettable 90-minute sea voyage across the turquoise Andaman Sea aboard modern high-speed catamarans.

Connecting Sri Vijaya Puram to Swaraj Dweep

Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep) lies approximately 38 nautical miles northeast of Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram). There is no bridge or road connection, meaning modern passenger ferries are the primary means of transit.

Because Havelock is the centerpiece of most Andaman vacations, securing your preferred ferry timings well in advance ensures you maximize beach daylight and synchronize hotel check-in times.

Private Catamaran Options and Classes

High-speed private operators such as Makruzz (Premium, Deluxe, Royal), Nautika (Luxury, Royal), and Green Ocean offer multiple daily sailings between 6:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

These modern twin-hull vessels feature panoramic window views, plush airplane-style reclining seats, air conditioning, and snack kiosks.

Boarding Procedures & Luggage Handling

Boarding in Port Blair generally takes place at Haddo Wharf or Phoenix Bay Jetty. Arrive at least 45 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time for security screening and luggage check-in.

Large suitcases are tagged and stowed in lower cargo holds, while backpacks and handbags can be carried into passenger cabins.

Arriving at Havelock Jetty & Onward Transfers

Upon docking at Havelock Jetty, passengers collect luggage from designated trolley zones. The jetty area can be busy, so pre-arranging your resort cab or scooter rental ensures a seamless arrival experience.

Avoid scheduling high-intensity water activities immediately upon docking; check in at your resort first, refresh, and start sightseeing in the afternoon.
