Terminals, Crossing & Arrival
The ferry from Road Town, Tortola, to Setting Point, Anegada, takes approximately 75 minutes. Road Town Fast Ferry and Speedy's operate this route, though departures are limited — typically a few days per week. Check the schedule carefully and plan your trip around the available departures. No customs or immigration is required — this is a domestic BVI route.
The ferry departs from the Road Town ferry terminal in downtown Tortola. If you're coming from West End or the north shore, allow time for a taxi to Road Town (15–25 minutes depending on where you are). Arrive at the terminal with time to spare, given the limited schedule — if you miss your ferry, the next departure may not be until the following day.
The 75-minute crossing traverses open water north of the Sir Francis Drake Channel. The seas can be rougher on this route than on shorter inter-island crossings, especially during winter months (December through April).
Anegada is unlike any other BVI island — it's completely flat (highest point about 28 feet), surrounded by coral reefs, and very remote. The island is famous for Cow Wreck Beach, Flash of Beauty beach, and the lobster dinners at beachside restaurants like Lobster Trap and Big Bamboo.
Taxis and rental cars meet the ferry at Setting Point. If you want to explore the island, renting a vehicle is recommended — distances between beaches and restaurants are significant and there's no regular taxi service circulating the island. Bring cash, as card acceptance is limited at some businesses.
