Havelock, a segment and the largest island of Ritchie’s Archipelago, is a breathtaking tropical island of the Andamans. It’s situated 73 kilometers northeast of Port Blair. Due to its geographical location, the island cannot get connected via roads, resulting in the sea route being the only mode of transport.

And who doesn’t want to reach a destination as quickly as possible? As flight services have not started yet, government- or private-operated ferries or charter boats are the only transit vehicles tourists choose to reach Swaraj Dweep. But what are the details of ferry options to Havelock? Let’s find out everything in the detailed guide below.

Ferry Options for Port Blair to Havelock Island

Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), one of the top Andaman archipelago destinations, is reached from Port Blair and Neil Island exclusively by ferries and boats. As it is not accessible by road and helicopter tickets are hard to get, let’s look at three ferry options from Port Blair to Havelock Island.

Government Ferries:

Managed and operated by the Directorate of Shipping Services, Government ferries are the oldest, affordable, and primary mode of transportation to Havelock Island for islanders and tourists. These ferries operate daily from Phoenix Bay Jetty at 6:30 AM at a fare price of ₹665 for a seat and ₹920 for a chair for Non-islanders and ₹95 for a seat and ₹170 for a chair for islanders.

The journey takes around 2 to 2.5 hours with no limited amenities, depending on sea and vessel conditions. Booking for these ferries is done 2 to 4 days before the journey date at DSS counters or the STARS e-ticketing website.

Private Ferries:

Private ferries such as Makruzz, NautiKa, ITT Majestic and Green Ocean play an essential role in connecting Port Blair and Havelock Island. As government ferries are highly subsidized for Islanders, travellers opt for them for their faster, more comfortable, and more reliable travel experience.

These ferries depart daily from Haddo jetty and take roughly 1-1.5 hours to reach Havelock, depending on sea conditions, at a fare price starting from ₹1100 per person, depending on operator and seating class (e.g., Royal, Deluxe, premium, or economy). Booking for these ferries can be done online via Andaman Ferry Ticket, the operator’s website, or the travel agent portal.

Charter Boats:

Charter boats offer a premium travel option from Port Blair to Havelock Island, providing a swift one-hour journey from Chatham jetty. While pricier than standard transportation, these high-speed vessels offer exclusive amenities including game fishing opportunities, complimentary snacks, and beverages. With a fixed rate of ₹94,000, the service accommodates up to eight passengers plus staff and includes all government permits. Tourists should book 3-4 days in advance with one of the 4-5 available charter companies. For safety reasons, departures are restricted after 5 PM. This luxurious option ensures a comfortable and efficient island transfer for those seeking a premium experience.

FYI: If you want to explore untouched, less-visited islands in Andaman, Havelock is the ideal starting point. You can hire a boat from Havelock to Long Island, book a Barren Island tour package, or charter a boat to Button Island.

For Tourists, Private Ferries are Better for Comfort & Memorable Journey

As mentioned above, private ferries are ideal for tourists traveling from Port Blair to Havelock Island. Although government-operated ferries are the oldest, most affordable, and long-run ones, they lack renovation, cleanliness, and amenities. They have limited tourist seats, no entertainment, not full AC, and no refreshments available, and it takes about 2.5 hours to reach Havelock.

On the other hand, private ferries like Nautical, ITT Majestic, and Makruzz offer faster, more comfortable, more accessible bookings and speedy transit to Havelock. They boast many amenities, clean and organized interiors, full AC, safety facilities and standards, and outstanding convenience, making them an ideal option for a seamless journey.

Port Blair to Havelock Government Vs Private Ferry Comparison

With both government and private ferries available to reach Havelock Island from Port Blair, it can be challenging to choose which one to take as a traveller.

How to Board the Port Blair to Havelock Ferry?

Follow the step-by-step process to Board the ferry from Port Blair to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) jetty, which involves a straightforward process at Phoenix Bay Jetty (government ferries) and Haddo jetty (private ferries) to ensure a smooth and secure takeoff. 

  •  Arrive at the Jetty point: Whether taking a government or private ferry, you have to exit the airport terminal, take a tour and travel’s cab, prepaid taxi, or auto rickshaw to the jetty. If your ferry is scheduled after your flight arrival time, head to the jetty point immediately; it’s about half an hour away, so skip tiffin and hotel check-ins to save time. 
  • Keep documents handy: Upon arriving at the jetty point, ensure you have your printed e-ticket or a digital copy of your original, valid government-issued photo ID, as well as your ferry tickets, which must be shown during check-in. 
  • Visit the operator counter: After entering the Jetty terminal, find your operator’s check-in counter for the ferry check-in process. 
  • Check-in and boarding process: Show your e-ticket and ID proof to the staff present at the operator’s counter. They will verify your details and issue a boarding pass and luggage tags. 
  • Go through security screening: Once you receive your boarding pass, proceed to the security checkpoint for screening before entering the boarding area. 
  • Board the ferry: After clearing security screening, follow the signs at the boarding gate or departure point, and follow ferry staff to your designated seat to prepare for your journey to Havelock Island.

Can You Catch The Havelock Ferry If I Land In Port Blair Today?

Yes, you can catch a ferry to Havelock Island immediately after landing in Port Blair if you arrive 2-3 hours before the ferry departure time. This is because ferry operators have strict reporting times:

  • Makruzz has 2 hours before departure,
  • ITT Majestic has 1 hour,
  • Nautika has 45 minutes,
  • And Green Ocean offers 1 hour, with check-ins closing 20-30 minutes prior.

In 2 to 3 hours, you will cover airport baggage collection, locating and riding a taxi or cab, 30 minutes at traffic to reach the jetty point, and 20-30 minutes to complete ferry check-in. 

You want to catch the last ferry around 2 PM, so you need to land at Port Blair by 11:00 AM, collect your baggage, and exit by 11:30 AM. Reach jetty point by 12 to 12:30 PM, complete ferry reporting, check-in, and screening which will take around 45 to 120 minutes, and you’re ready to sail.

What To Do If Your Port Blair To Havelock Ferry Is Cancelled?

Don’t panic – cancellations happen for your safety. Bad weather, rough seas, technical issues, or port authority instructions can ground ferries. You’ll receive email or SMS alerts with next steps.

Your Options:

  • Reschedule: Switch to another departure (same or different operator) based on seat availability
  • Full Refund: 100% refund processed to your original payment method in 5-7 business days. Andaman Ferry Ticket initiates refunds immediately after operator confirmation

Pro Tips: Inform your Havelock hotel about delays to reschedule water activities. Can’t travel same day? Stay overnight in Port Blair or catch the next ferry. Check spam folder for refund updates if nothing arrives in your inbox.

Port Blair to Havelock Journey Tips

The journey from Port Blair to Havelock Island, one of the most beautiful islands of the Andaman archipelago, is quite thrilling but requires specific preparation and tips to ensure a seamless experience and avoid travel disruptions. 

  • Arrive early for check-in: Arrive at least 1-2 hours before departure so that you get enough time for check-in procedures, luggage drop-off, and security screening. This approach eradicated last-minute rush and potential delays. 
  • Keep your documents handy: Have a printed or original copy of each traveller’s valid government-issued photo ID and e-ticket ready for a smooth, efficient check-in. 
  • Choose an ideal operator based on your requirements: Choose an operator that aligns with your priority- high speed ferry, open deck, or affordable ticket price, along with the one that suits your comfort and offers the required facilities during the journey. 
  • Pick the most suitable travel time: Prefer morning ferries over afternoon ones, as sea conditions are calmer, resulting in punctuality and smoother journeys. Afternoon ferries are facing weather-related delays and choppy seas, leading to seasickness. 
  • Carry essentials in your handbag: Pack motion sickness tablets, snacks, a shawl (to avoid strong AC), a phone charger, and a water bottle for a comfortable trip. 
  • Pick suitable seats: If you are prone to seasickness, choose seats in the middle rows to avoid side-to-side movement. You can take anti-nausea medicine 30 minutes before boarding the ferry. 
  • Keep luggage within limits; don’t overpack. Most ferries limit luggage up to 20-25 kg per person, to prevent boarding issues or excess luggage charges. 
  • Follow onboarding rules and regulations: Strictly adhere to them for your and other passengers’ safety, including the prohibition of tobacco products. Avoid standing in emergency exits and moving around the cabin while traveling. 
  • Avoid same-day travel: Don’t travel on the same day as your arrival, or give yourself a minimum of 2 to 3 hours buffer between your flight’s landing time and the ferry’s departure time to avoid missing your journey. 
  • Weather awareness: Check whether conditions and flight cancellation notifications are especially relevant while travelling during monsoon months. Have a backup plan or travel insurance in case the operator cancels the sailing so that you can reschedule or receive a refund.

Safety measures and medications: wear safety jackets as soon as you’re given and familiarise yourself with the emergency exit, and pay attention to safety announcements made by the crew. Keep necessary medications and essential items in your handbag to handle any unforeseen situations during the trip.
