Ferry Route

Neil Island to Havelock Ferry

Neil Island to Havelock is the same 18 nautical mile stretch as the Havelock to Neil leg, sailed in reverse, and on calm days it is a 45 to 60 minute ride. The practical catch is that the direction matters. Our live booking feed currently returns no bookable private sailings from Neil to Havelock on any date we check, while the reverse leg returns several a day, so plan this leg on what the panel below actually shows rather than on the assumption that a route running one way also runs the other. If nothing appears for your date, the two fallbacks travellers use are the government ferry between the two islands, or routing back through Port Blair and picking up a Port Blair to Havelock sailing.

Travel Tips

Before you sail

1

Check this leg before you book the Havelock end of your trip. Our live feed shows no bookable private sailings from Neil to Havelock at present, and a night on Havelock you cannot reach is an expensive assumption.

2

The reverse leg is not proof of this one. Havelock to Neil runs several times a day; that tells you nothing about seats going the other way.

3

The government ferry is the other option between the two islands and books through a separate system -- see our government ferries guide.

4

The fallback routing is Neil to Port Blair, then Port Blair to Havelock. It costs the better part of a day, so build it in rather than discovering it at the jetty.

5

Arrive 30 minutes before departure; the jetty is small and queues move quickly.

6

Schedule changes are common during monsoon. Confirm at your Neil hotel on the morning of travel.

FAQs

Neil Island to Havelock Island ferry -- common questions

Not one you can book through this site at the moment. Our live feed returns no bookable private sailings on the Neil to Havelock leg for any date we check, including peak season dates months ahead. That is worth knowing before you plan around it. The government ferry between the two islands runs on a separate booking system, and the other option is to route back through Port Blair.
The crossing is 18 nautical miles and takes roughly 45 to 60 minutes on calm water -- the shortest inter-island hop in the Andamans. That is the same stretch as the Havelock to Neil leg, which does run daily.
Operators schedule each direction separately, and a vessel that sails one way is not obliged to sell the return leg as its own sailing. Whatever the reason, the practical position is what the live panel on this page shows for your date -- do not infer this leg from the reverse one.
We are not quoting a fare for this leg, because there are no bookable sailings in the feed to quote one from. Fares on the reverse Havelock to Neil leg are shown live on that route page, but they are not a reliable guide to a sailing that is not on sale.
Two. The government ferry between Shaheed Dweep and Swaraj Dweep, booked through the government system rather than here; or Neil to Port Blair and then Port Blair to Havelock, which Makruzz, Nautika and Green Ocean run several times a day. The second costs most of a day, so check it against your dates before committing.
