Port Blair to Neil Island Ferry

Neil Island, officially Shaheed Dweep, is the quieter sibling of Havelock (Swaraj Dweep). It is known for the natural rock bridge at Laxmanpur, the snorkelling patch at Bharatpur Beach and its unhurried beach shacks. The thing to understand before you plan a day around this sector: the only Port Blair to Neil sailing on sale here is a Makruzz service routed via Havelock, and it does not run on every date. One ticket covers both legs -- Port Blair to Havelock, then Havelock to Neil -- and the crossing takes three hours rather than the ninety minutes a straight run down the 22 nautical miles would take. On every date checked on 1 and 6 September 2026, no direct Port Blair to Neil sailing was on sale at all, and the two nearest dates -- 7 and 8 September -- carry no sailing on this sector at all. Use the live panel below for your own date. The return leg, Neil to Port Blair, carries far more choice than this one.

Travel Tips

Before you sail

1

Neil is a calmer, quieter alternative to Havelock -- ideal if you want to avoid crowds.

2

Every sailing on sale for this sector calls at Havelock on the way. Budget three hours, not ninety minutes, and do not book anything in Neil before early afternoon.

3

Makruzz is the only operator selling this sector through our feed. If your date comes up blank, book Port Blair to Havelock and a separate Havelock to Neil ticket -- both of those sectors carry sailings on far more dates.

4

Cover your Neil trip with a night stay -- day-trip ferries are not reliably available.

FAQs

Port Blair to Neil Island ferry -- common questions

Three hours on the only service on sale here -- a Makruzz departure at 08:00 reaching Neil at 11:00, routed via Havelock, with both legs on the one ticket. That is the feed’s own crossing time, not an estimate. Re-checked on 6 September 2026 across every date from 7 to 30 September: all 22 sailings found were that same 08:00 via-Havelock service, and no direct Port Blair to Neil sailing was on sale on any of them. There is no shorter option to compare it against.
Absolutely -- Neil Island is smaller, calmer, and has its own distinct beaches (Natural Bridge, Laxmanpur, Bharatpur). Pair it with Havelock for a complete island-hopping trip.
One a day at most, and not on every date. Re-checked on 6 September 2026 on every single date from 7 to 30 September, all 24 answered: nothing at all on 7 and 8 September, then exactly one Makruzz sailing on each of the 22 days from 9 to 30 September, all of them the 08:00 departure via Havelock. Nothing on any sampled date from 1 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. The near end of that window moved between 1 and 6 September, which is the point: this is not a sector to assume -- check your own date in the live panel before you fix the rest of the itinerary around it.
Re-checked on 1 September 2026 and unchanged: the only operator selling this sector through our feed is Makruzz, at ₹1,950 in Premium, ₹2,540 in Deluxe and ₹3,500 in Royal, identical on every date that carried a sailing. That is the fare for the via-Havelock ticket, which is the only one on sale. The reverse leg, Neil to Port Blair, carries far more choice and starts lower.
