Off the ship
Your Own Driver from the Philipsburg Cruise Terminal
We meet you at the pier, show you the island at your pace, and have you back before all aboard — with time to spare, not just enough.
Flying in instead? Airport transfers are here.
From the pier
Where people go, and how long it takes
Times are one way from the terminal. Every price is for the whole van, not per person, and the waiting is included — we stay with you.
The thing you are actually worried about
Getting back to the ship
It is the only real risk in booking anything ashore, so we plan the day backwards from your all-aboard time rather than forwards from the pier.
We know the bridge
The Simpson Bay bridge opens on a published schedule and closes the road completely while it does. It is the single most common reason a journey here takes longer than a map claims, and we plan around it.
One van, one driver, all day
Not a drop-off and a hopeful wave. The same driver stays with you, so there is never a moment where you are looking for a taxi with an hour left on the clock.
Your number, before you sail
You have our WhatsApp and we have yours. If your plans change ashore, or the ship's schedule moves, it is one message — not a rank queue.
Who you are booking
A father and son who drive their own van
The rank at the pier dispatches whoever is next in the queue, and you will not know who that is until you are standing in front of them. Here you get Gerel or Wedson, by name, and the same one is there when you come back.
Fixed price
Per vehicle, not per person, with everything included. The official island tariff charges per head above two passengers — we show you both numbers and let you decide.
The wait, included
The difference between a taxi and a driver is that the driver is still there at 11pm. We price that in rather than metering it.
The long way home
Every airport transfer can go past Maho for the plane view, or along the Simpson Bay lagoon at sunset. Same price. You choose when you book.
The night before
You will know exactly who is meeting you
Twenty-four hours before your pickup, this arrives. Nobody else on the island sends it.
Good evening Sarah — tomorrow your driver is Gerel, in the black Maxus van. He’ll be at the pier exit with a board showing your name from 8:30. Your ship is due alongside at 8:00 and all aboard is 4:30, so we have the day. Anything you need before you dock, just reply here.
Your driver
The people who will actually collect you
Gerel
Founder & driver
Speaks English and Kreyol. Knows which beach is calm before you ask.
Getting hold of us
WhatsApp is the fastest way
It is how the island works and how we already talk to guests. Message us with your dates and we will come back with a price, not a form.
