Water Taxi Gustavia harbor to Colombier beach

[MartinS]

Noticed the captain on board and I chatted him up. Docked the opposite side of the harbor from the ferry terminal. A "water taxi" from the harbor to Colombier beach and return. You can specify a return time or call for pickup. Right now the price is 150euro for round trip, 200euro in season. Unless there was something lost in translation, that price is for the boat, not per person.
They also taxi to SXM.

That’s nice! We’ve always used Jicky in the past, but with an expanding family and job responsibilities, the adult kids aren’t joining us these days. All good… they’ll be back, God willing

"that price is for the boat, not per person"
I confirmed that published fares are one way and for the boat not per person.
surprisingly modest fares

Funny. I did the same thing, by email. Their response:

"
Thanks for your message.

Our service is a water taxi, so the price is per trip, not per person.

For example, if you have 3 passengers, the total cost is €75, not €225. The same rate applies for up to 9 passengers.

You could also book the whole boat hourly for 250€

The taxi will drop you off at your boat or at Colombier Beach. The €75 daytime rate is for a one-way transfer. If you would like a return trip, it will be 150€."

That’s an incredible deal!

A very interesting business but I obviously am unfamiliar with prices as it seemed expensive to me, but we always rent a car, so only have done boat tours with Jicky a long time ago. Can you bring beach chairs with you? It would be easier than hiking!

 

[MartinS]

The guy I spoke to said you can bring coolers, chairs and whatever.

And today, kids from St. Martin's summer camp invaded Colombier beach......

 

[cassidain]

That’s an incredible deal!

I'm thinking "how long can this last?"

 

[rolltide]

The owner's name is Jean, and he was born and raised on the island. We used him for the Colombier shuttle back and forth last April. We brought chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc.....it was a great day. He told me he'll also customize any trip for snorkeling or whatever you want to do. I highly recommend him.

 

[Amery]

Sounds like he has the right idea and a bright future ahead

 

[KevinS]

He’s been offering this service since 2021. His pricing has improved since then.
