welcome aboard the Sea Bridge

When most people think of iconic bridges they think of  the Golden Gate in the USA or Tower Bridge in the UK but in St Kitts & Nevis their iconic bridge is the floating bridge - The Sea Bridge.

The St Kitts & Nevis Sea Bridge was established to revolutionise  transportation between St. Kitts and Nevis, particularly with reference to 
vehicular traffic which is important for those who own real estate in St Kitts.

The bridge is the unusual charge of Captain Oritus Jones, a retired sailor who spotted a gap in the market for a ferry connection to eradicate the financial burden on the Federation of a permanent bridge, which was estimated at EC$430.0 million.

Although the crossing is short – only 3.25 nautical miles – there’s plenty of time to lime. Captain Oritus Jones’ experienced staff ensure that everyone knows everyone by the end of the trip which is aided by the fully-serviced on board ‘Caribbean bar’ (a small cupboard containing a mixed crate of beer and sodas). The Sea Bridge provides a transport link for everything from JCBs to fitted kitchens and even donkeys are welcome on board.

On the smooth crossing passengers often sea flying fish, sea turtles and even the occasional whale spout.

The schedule is convenient and reliable and prices are very reasonable at $20EC per person and $75EC per car. A one day roundtrip costs $150EC for a car and a driver.
