Book Ferry Tickets for Port Blair to Neil Island

The only transportation between Port Blair and Neil Island is by ferry service, as there are no roads or air connections. The distance of approximately 37 km takes 1-1.5 hours one-way by high-speed private ferry. Travelers have two main options – government ferries operated by the Directorate of Shipping Services (DSS), or private ferries. This route is the reverse of the popular journey from Port Blair to Havelock Island to Neil Island and back.

Government vs Private Ferries for Port Blair to Neil

The government ferries operated by the Directorate of Shipping Services (DSS) between Port Blair and Neil Island have several drawbacks compared to private ferries. The government vessels are very old, not well-maintained, lack air conditioning, and take around 1 hour 45 minutes for the journey. They mostly cater to locals and have no entertainment or snacks. The DSS ferries on this route are MV Kamorta, MV Baratang & MV Strait Island which operates once daily.

In contrast, private ferries are faster high-speed vessels taking only 1.5 hours. They offer comfortable interiors, snacks, beverages, TV and other entertainment. The private ferries are also newer with amenities like first aid and full air conditioning. They start from Haddo Jetty in Port Blair.

No Private Ferry for Port Blair to Neil Island

Before COVID-19, private companies such as Green Ocean, Makruzz etc. operated ferries on the Port Blair to Neil Island route. Currently, no ferry serves this route directly. Travellers have to first visit Havelock Island, then take a ferry from there to Neil Island. Travellers should book ferries in advance, especially during peak seasons.

Why is the Port Blair to Neil Route Not Popular?

Travellers are generally advised to plan their Andaman itinerary from Port Blair to Havelock Island, then Havelock to Neil Island, and finally Neil back to Port Blair. The reverse route from Port Blair directly to Neil is not very popular or commercially viable for ferry operators. Until the COVID-19 pandemic, the Port Blair to Neil route was regularly serviced by private ferries. However, it has become rare now.

Havelock Island offers far more tourism infrastructure and activities like hotels, resorts, restaurants, and water sports compared to Neil Island. As a result, the Port Blair to Havelock ferry route is much more popular and profitable for private ferry companies. Currently, no private ferries operate directly between Port Blair and Neil due to a lack of demand.

If you want to reschedule and visit Havelock Island first, you can compare schedules and fares for the four private ferries operating on the Port Blair to Havelock route and book tickets conveniently on our website AndamanFerryTicket.com. The route from Port Blair to Neil Island via Havelock caters better to most travelers’ itineraries and interests.
