Neil Island to Port Blair Ferry

The Neil Island to Port Blair ferry is the usual return leg for travellers who finish the Port Blair -> Havelock -> Neil circuit before flying home. A direct crossing covers roughly 22 nautical miles (~36 km) and takes 90 minutes to 2.5 hours depending on operator. Many sailings instead stop over at Havelock, stretching the indirect distance to around 56 nautical miles and the duration by 30-45 minutes. Private ferries normally board at Haddo Jetty in Port Blair on the return leg (do read your ticket, as assignments can shift). Morning departures are advisable if you have an onward flight.

Travel Tips

Before you sail

1

Don't book your Port Blair flight the same morning as your Neil ferry -- keep at least 4 hours buffer.

2

Fewer sailings run on this leg than the Havelock → Port Blair route, so book early.

3

Keep printed or screenshot e-tickets -- jetty network on Neil can be patchy.

4

If weather's rough, Neil services are the first to be cancelled; monitor advisories during June–September.

5

Jetty security checks start 30 minutes before departure; boarding closes 15 minutes prior.
