Anguilla is a very expensive day-trip to attempt, particularly for a family, no matter how you do it but if you’ve never gone it’s so worth the day.
You can do a packaged daytrip through any number of companies that generally provide a r/t trip catamaran, sail or power boat trip with drinks and snacks and a stop at one of the out Islands or perhaps Rendevous Bay for lunch and a nice sail along the island of SXM.
And the other option is the ferry over either from Marigot $ or else somewhere near the airport $$, rent a car or take a taxi $$, drinks and/or lunch and possibly chair rentals while there or not $$$$ and lastly, departure fees from both SXM and AXA-$.
Don’t forget to bring your passports either way as they will be needed on both islands.
Respectfully,

It's not cheap, but I can't say enough good things about Paper Boat Charters - http://www.paperboatcharter.com/ My wife and I did a day trip to Anguilla with Captain Elliot almost 2 years ago to the day, and it was truly one of the best days of our lives.

Does the GeeBee Express still go to Anguilla? We have used them twice before for a trip to Anguilla. My husband does not care for boats (motion sickness even with Dramamine) and GeeBee got us there so quickly. The faster the boat the better for him. If so, are they still located by the airport like pre-Irma? TY Not sure who GeeBee is? There is however a GB Express that still operates. (stands for God's Blessings). We have used them for 8 years. https://www.gbferries.com/reservation.php

OK. I misspelled. GB Express. Again.....Does anyone know if their office located at the same place as it was before Irma? I would contact them direct as things can change rapidly, especially since Irma. The last I used them they did still depart from the "same place" but if I were considering using them I would call or email them for verification.

Several contact options on their website, including a US number that may still work. Good luck.
