Start with Neil Island without assuming a Havelock stay
Choose this direction if Neil Island is your first island stay. Enter Neil Island as the destination even if a sailing calls at Havelock; a ticket only to Havelock does not automatically cover the rest of the journey.
Departure patterns can differ from the busier Port Blair-to-Havelock route. Check your exact date before fixing hotel nights. If no suitable sailing appears, ask AWT to compare another date or an itinerary with a separately planned Havelock stay.
If planning separate sectors, review each leg: Port Blair to Havelock ferry Havelock to Neil Island ferry
Compare operators for this direction
Use the same date, passenger ages and route when comparing Makruzz, Nautika, Green Ocean and ITT Majestic. An operator guide explains the fleet and classes; it does not establish that the service runs in this direction every day. The available result and confirmed ticket identify the vessel and itinerary.
Review cabin photographs, seat categories and the arrival time alongside the fare. A preferred brand or open deck is useful only when the dated sailing fits the rest of the journey. Keep the booking with AWT for passenger assistance and access to your confirmed ticket.

Ferry timings, journey duration and ticket price
A direct crossing, an intermediate call at Havelock and a change between two sailings have different elapsed times. Compare the final arrival at Neil Island, including any waiting time. Do not use a Port Blair-to-Havelock departure as proof that the same ticket reaches Neil.
Choose the travel date to see available fares and classes. Review the complete payable amount, including any disclosed port fee, fuel charge or seasonal addition, before payment. For two separate sectors, add both ticket totals and any transfer or overnight-stay cost.
The first and last ferry depend on the dated service pattern. If search shows no suitable result, contact the AWT ferry team to check alternatives before paying for non-refundable accommodation. We do not publish an unverified daily timetable for this direction.

Board the correct Neil-bound service at Port Blair
Private services generally depart from Haddo; use the terminal named on the confirmed ticket. Check whether the itinerary remains on one vessel or involves a transfer. Have AWT explain each sector before paying if the journey is not straightforward.
Allow for arrival formalities, luggage and road transfer before the reporting deadline. A same-day mainland arrival and ferry departure need a practical buffer, not simply a gap between the two timetable entries.

Set up your stay on Shaheed Dweep
Arrange pickup at the Neil Island passenger jetty for the arrival actually shown on your ticket. Share any intermediate call with the hotel so they do not use a direct-crossing estimate.
Plan the rest of the island order before booking: Neil-to-Havelock availability may differ from Havelock-to-Neil. Confirm that later leg first if Havelock is essential to your itinerary.

Passenger details, luggage and booking confirmation
Enter every traveller, including infants, with names and ages matching accepted identity documents. Check the date, direction, vessel and class on the review screen. Seat selection depends on the operator’s supported layout; use the final allocation on the issued ticket.
Follow the ticket’s reporting deadline and baggage allowance. Keep medicines, valuables, identity documents and an offline ticket copy in your hand baggage. Ask AWT in advance about mobility assistance, large luggage or seating needs.
After payment verification and operator confirmation, keep the ticket and PNR accessible in your customer account and email. Read the applicable cancellation terms before payment. Start an eligible cancellation from your AWT booking; an alternative sailing depends on availability and any fare difference.

Government ferry alternative
Government tickets follow the separate DSS/STARS booking process and are not sold through the private ferry search above. Check the released sailing, passenger category, identification and boarding terminal. Our government guide explains that process and links to the official booking service.

Port Blair to Neil Island Ferry FAQs
Practical answers to help you plan, book and board with confidence.
Do I need to stay on Havelock before going to Neil?
Not if a suitable dated Port Blair-to-Neil ticket is available. Check whether the sailing is direct, calls at Havelock or requires a connection before choosing the island order.
How much is a Port Blair to Neil Island ferry ticket?
The amount depends on the date, operator, vessel, class and whether more than one sector is needed. Search your date and review the complete payable total. A fare for the opposite direction or only one connecting leg is not the full price of your journey.
Where do I board for Port Blair to Neil Island?
Private departures from Port Blair generally use Haddo. Government services can use other terminals. Follow the boarding point and reporting deadline on the issued ticket, and arrange Neil Island jetty pickup separately.
Can I book this ferry and manage the ticket on AWT?
Yes, choose an available supported private sailing in the AWT search, review the fare and passenger details, then complete checkout. Your ticket is issued after payment verification and operator confirmation. If the direction is not offered for your date, ask AWT to review alternatives.
Can I visit Havelock after staying on Neil Island?
If visiting Havelock after Neil, search Neil-to-Havelock separately for the planned date. Do not infer a reverse-direction sailing from the Havelock-to-Neil timetable.
Find a crossing that fits your island plan
Confirm the route, travel date and passenger details. AWT can also help arrange hotels and jetty transfers separately.
