Planning your port Blair to Havelock via Baratang
AWT’s reviewed provider sample lists a Makruzz Port Blair-to-Havelock itinerary marked “Via BARATANG”, with 05:45 departure, 13:30 arrival and a ₹4,450 Premium passenger base fare. It is a 7-hour-45-minute itinerary, not a direct-crossing comparison or a guaranteed daily offer.

Confirm the itinerary you are buying
The sample was checked on 26 September 2026 and covers selected future dates. Verify the exact date, final payable amount, operating vessel and inclusion list before committing. A generic launch announcement is not a ticket, and this guide does not infer a vessel name from third-party publicity.
Ask what happens at Baratang: whether passengers disembark, which transfers or visits are included, baggage handling and the time to reboard. If sightseeing is not explicitly listed in the quotation, do not assume caves, permits or local boats are part of the ferry fare.
Compare a direct Havelock ticket if your priority is reaching the hotel earlier. For the via itinerary, arrange pickup against the confirmed afternoon arrival and leave time for baggage and the road transfer.
Sea itinerary versus Middle Strait crossing
The Middle Strait–Baratang vehicle-ferry link listed by DSS is part of a road journey. It is not a high-speed sea transfer from Port Blair to Havelock. Confirm the meeting point, transport mode and ticket issuer so the two products are not confused.
A road trip can involve separate access and timing requirements. Ask AWT to review the complete land itinerary and current official instructions instead of combining unrelated departure estimates.
Keep the full booking reviewable
Before payment, obtain the dated itinerary, all boarding points, intermediate activities, baggage arrangement, cancellation terms and final amount. Confirm the fallback if weather or operational conditions change.
For a through trip to Havelock, notify the hotel of the confirmed arrival. For a Baratang-only trip, confirm the return or onward land transfer; do not assume the same ferry can take you back that evening.
Questions before you travel
Is the via-Baratang fare directly comparable with a standard Havelock transfer?
Compare only after checking the route and inclusion list. The sampled via itinerary lasts 7 hours 45 minutes and may be offered as a different product from a direct ferry. Use the final dated quotation.
