Aberdeen Jetty, Port Blair: practical travel guide
Aberdeen and the Water Sports Complex area are associated with sightseeing-boat departures around Port Blair. For a Ross Island or North Bay outing, confirm the exact meeting point with the issuing operator. This is not the usual Haddo terminal for private Havelock ferries.

Confirm what the excursion actually includes
Ask whether your booking covers Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island (formerly Ross Island), North Bay or both, and check the sequence. A boat transfer, entry charge and optional water activity may be separate items.
Confirm the return arrangement before boarding: meeting point, reporting time and whom to contact if an activity runs late. Do not assume a sightseeing ticket allows unrestricted returns on any boat.

Find the specified check-in point
Use the operator’s meeting instructions, not just a map search for a broad waterfront area. Carry the required ID and booking reference. Allow time for local access and safety instructions.
Ask about current activity permissions, weather restrictions and cancellation rules before payment. The private-ferry cancellation card on this page does not establish the conditions of a sightseeing boat.
Keep sightseeing and island transfers separate
A North Bay or Ross outing cannot replace a ferry ticket to Havelock or Neil. If both activities fall on one day, check transfers between the sightseeing point and the ferry terminal and leave enough reporting time.
Keep valuables protected from spray and follow the crew’s life-jacket and seating instructions. Check assistance needs before confirming, especially if stepping into a small boat is difficult.
Plan the return meeting point before the first boat leaves
For a two-island excursion, save the organiser’s contact and agree how the group reconnects after each visit. Keep the boat booking and any activity bookings together so a delayed activity does not cause a missed return.
Pack a small day bag instead of taking all hotel luggage on the outing. Protect documents and electronics from spray, wear footwear suitable for boarding and follow the crew’s life-jacket instructions.

Ask AWT about your Aberdeen Jetty, Port Blair transfer. Confirm the boarding point on your issued ticket before arranging pickup.
Aberdeen Jetty, Port Blair FAQs
Practical answers to help you plan, book and board with confidence.
Will the inter-island search book my Ross or North Bay boat?
No. Use the sightseeing enquiry or activity arrangement for that outing. The search here is for supported private ferries between the main island destinations.
Does a Ross Island boat ticket include North Bay activities?
Check the itemised quotation. Island transfers, entry charges and optional activities can be separate purchases; one boat ticket does not establish that all are included.
Continue your ferry booking with AWT
Explore our ferry guidance and compare available tickets here. Your issued ticket supplies the final boarding instructions.
For a government inter-island journey, check the announced booking window and availability for non-islanders. A vessel’s total capacity is not the number of tourist seats available. With fixed holiday dates, compare confirmed private options early rather than relying on a last-minute government ticket; the guide below explains the planning choices.
