Government ferries from Havelock to Port Blair are operated by the Directorate of Shipping Services (DSS). The department primarily operates for the convenience of local islanders. Since this is the only way of transportation for the islanders, tickets are highly subsidized for them. Residents also have a decent local knowledge which makes using government ferries convenient for them.
Though slightly cheaper in comparison to the private ferries, government Ferry booking is not available on our platform as we think that from a tourist’s point of view, it’s not the most feasible way. However they’re available everyday and depart from Phoenix Bay Jetty.
As mentioned earlier, we as localities feel that for a more relaxed and hassle-free holiday experience, it’s advisable to opt for private ferries which primarily work for the travellers.The government ones are designed mainly for local transportation and may not be the ideal choice for tourists. Go2Andaman does not facilitate bookings for government ferry tickets. If you plan to use them, tickets can be purchased at the offline counters and offices. Keep in mind that ticket queues tend to form early in the morning, and if you find yourself at the back of the line, there’s a chance that seats may be occupied by the time your turn arrives. Moreover, having only limited seats, the tickets on government ferries are booked months in advance, sometimes the waiting is 4-6 months.
Baggage- You can take as much baggage as you like for free without making a reservation. Baggage items include briefcases, laptops, rucksacks, trolley bags or suitcases. If you have anything you have a doubt about, it’s a good idea to reach out. The baggage is checked in before you head to your seats.
Food and Beverages– Private ferries offer an extensive menu and a wide variety of vegetarian, and non-vegetarian dishes. The upgraded seat plans offer complimentary food and beverages.
Entertainment- Live music and dance can level up the whole experience, right? The ferries make sure so add to your once in a lifetime experience.
Travel with children- Toddlers under the age of 1 and 2 years travel for free and don’t need a ticket. The ferries are family friendly and provide any help required for the kids.
Special Assistance- Be it booking tickets or being on board, the staff pays extra care to any needs of the passengers. They assist you with booking, checking-in, boarding, and disembarking. Also, staff happily answer any questions or assist with any queries to make your journey easier.
Essential facilities– The private ferries provide clean and hygienic washrooms. Additionally, in case of passengers getting sea sick, they also provide medical assistance.

On most ferries, an infant above the age of 1 year is charged on a full-charge basis and an infant below the age of 1 year can travel free of cost. On some ferries, an infant below the age of 1 year is charged a small fee. This changes from operator-to-operator.
It is mandatory to carry a print-out of your ferry tickets. A soft copy or email confirmation is not valid to board the ferry. Another important document to carry is your valid ID Card/ Passport.
We recommend that you reach the jetty at-least 45 mins prior to the departing time so you have sufficient time for boarding. If travelling with children or senior citizens, 1 hour prior would be ideal. The boarding gates close 30 mins before departure.
