Ferries to and from neighbouring islands are available, if rather expensive.
The most extensive official service is operated by Express des Isles , which runs services to Martinique, Guadeloupe, etc.
Channel Shuttles Inc. operate a slightly cheaper ferry service (235 ECD including departure tax) to Martinique operating from Castries at 10.00 on Wednesday and 15.00 on Thursdays. They can be contacted on 7139701/4518161 or their office can be found in the ferry terminal just outside of Castries.
Cruise ships (usually one or two at a time) are frequent visitors to the small, picturesque harbor. An open air mall abuts the main pier and offers "duty free" shops. See "Buy" below.
Catamaran rides from Soufriere to Rodney Bay are also offered through a local tour company (to be updated).
