MV Bay Cruiser 1 is the ideal choice for travelers who want a fast and comfortable trip from Cox’s Bazar to Saint Martin
Best Saint Martin Tour Plan
Visiting Saint Martin, the only coral island in Bangladesh, is a dream for many people. For some, it has become part of their yearly travel plans. However, the journey has changed slightly. In the past, ships operated from Teknaf, but now they only run from Cox’s Bazar to Saint Martin due to government restrictions. This means the trip takes longer than before, and same-day round trips are impractical. If you depart in the morning, you'll reach Saint Martin in the afternoon, and shortly after, the return trip begins. For this reason, planning a two-day, one-night trip is the best option. Also, the number of passengers allowed each day is limited, making last-minute ticket purchases difficult. A smart choice is to book your ticket to Saint Martin in advance and, if needed, reserve your resort early as well.
When it comes to choosing your ship, always select the fastest and most comfortable option—Bay Cruiser 1. It is known as the best ship from Cox’s Bazar to Saint Martin, offering speed, safety, and excellent service. Plus, buying a Bay Cruiser 1 ticket is easy, with both online and offline booking available.
Arrival in Cox’s Bazar
To visit Saint Martin, you must first arrive in Cox’s Bazar. No matter where you're coming from, plan your travel to reach Cox’s Bazar before your morning ship departure. If you're leaving from Dhaka, take a bus around 8 to 9 PM. You’ll arrive in Cox’s Bazar between 6 to 7 AM the next morning (the trip takes 9 to 11 hours). Recommended bus services include Shyamoli, Saint Martin Transport, Modern Line, Green Line, and others. Ticket prices vary from 900 to 2700 BDT, depending on the bus type. If you prefer a more relaxed schedule, consider arriving in Cox’s Bazar the day before.
Day 1: Departure for Saint Martin
From the Cox’s Bazar bus terminal, go directly to the BIWTA Jetty at Nuniyarchhara, where ships depart for Saint Martin. The departure time varies with the tide, so confirm it when you book your ticket.
If you’re traveling with Bay Cruiser 1, you’ll experience the fastest journey, reaching Saint Martin in about 4 to 5 hours (compared to over 6 hours with other ships). Typically, you’ll arrive at Saint Martin Island between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. After you arrive, check in to your pre-booked hotel or resort. If time allows, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea or explore the beaches. For sunset, visit West Beach for an unforgettable view.For meals, you can pre-order at your resort or dine at popular spots like Keyari Marjan Restaurant, Beach Point, Hotel Allar Dan, Bazaar Beach, Assam Hotel, Sea Beach, Comilla Restaurant, Real Restaurant, Haji Selim Park, or Hotel Sadek. In the evening, many visitors enjoy a beachside barbecue. You can ask your resort to arrange one or go to Saint Martin Bazaar to buy fresh fish for a customized barbecue experience.
Day 2: Exploring the Island
Wake up early and rent a bicycle, motorcycle, or explore the island on foot. If you choose to walk, remember to bring drinking water. A full walk around the island takes about 3 to 4 hours and offers beautiful views. You can also take a boat trip to Cheradwip, the nearby small coral island, for a memorable morning adventure.
Before noon, enjoy one last swim and have an early lunch, then head back to the jetty in time for your ship’s departure.
Once back in Cox’s Bazar, go to Kolatoli, where you’ll find buses and trains to Dhaka or other places. Keep in mind that ship schedules may change due to weather and tide, so it’s wise to leave some extra time before your next journey.
