If you ask anyone who has travelled to the Andamans what their most memorable moment was, chances are, many will say the ferry ride. There’s something magical about leaving the busy Port Blair harbour behind and cruising over the sparkling turquoise waters to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) or Neil (Shaheed Dweep).
Now, here’s the catch: those ferries, especially the private operators like Makruzz, Green Ocean, and Nautika, fill up quickly. If you’re dreaming of that perfect beach holiday, you don’t want to spend your first day scrambling for tickets at the jetty counter. That’s exactly why TryTrabby exists — to make ferry booking as smooth as the island breeze.
This guide is written for you, the traveller who loves convenience, savings, and insider tips. I’ll walk you through exactly how to book online with TryTrabby, what to expect with each operator, the boarding process, and even how to save with our exclusive coupon codes.
So grab your notepad (or just bookmark this page), and let’s dive in.
Before you book, it helps to know the difference between Makruzz, Green Ocean, and Nautika.
| Operator | Duration (Port Blair → Havelock) | Approx. Fare (₹) | Why Travellers Love It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Makruzz | 1.5–2.5 hours | ₹1,400–3,100 | Premium feel, multiple classes, reliable |
| Green Ocean | 2–2.5 hours | ₹900–1,500 | Open deck for sea views, pocket-friendly |
| Nautika | 1.75–2 hours | ₹1,650–1,850 | Modern catamaran, stable ride, fast |
👉 If you want a luxury cruise feel, Makruzz is your pick.
👉 If you’re all about budget with views, Green Ocean is unbeatable.
👉 If you prefer a faster, steadier ride, Nautika wins.
Open ferry.trytrabby.com and you’ll see the ferrry booking widget on the homepage. It looks just like an airline booking form:
Trip type (Single or Multiple)
From (Port Blair, Havelock, Neil)
To (your destination)
Date of travel
Number of passengers (adult, child, infant)
💡 Pro Tip: Always double-check your travel booking date with timings and fares that may vary seasonally, especially if you’re flying into Port Blair the same day. You need buffer time to reach the Port Blair's Haddo Jetty.
Click search and you’ll see all available ferries for your date. Pick:
Port Blair → Havelock (most popular)
Havelock → Neil (short inter-island hop)
Neil → Port Blair (return journey)
Use the filter to narrow down. This is handy if:
You’ve already decided to try Nautika’s speed,
You want Green Ocean’s open deck, or
You’re sticking to Makruzz for premium comfort.
Each option shows: departure time, arrival time, classes, and prices.
Just like airlines, ferries have classes:
Economy: budget-friendly, basic comfort.
Premium/Deluxe: extra legroom or better deck.
Royal/Luxury: cushioned seats, spacious layout, often better views.
Some ferries allow you to choose seats from a map. Handy if you want mid-deck (less sea sway) or upper deck (views).
Fill in names, age, and ID proof details (Aadhaar, passport, driver’s license). Remember — names must match exactly with your ID. If you’re travelling with kids or infants, check operator age rules (e.g., under 2 is considered infant).

Once payment is complete, you’ll instantly receive:

Save this on your phone and also keep a printed copy — sometimes handy at the jetty.
On your travel day:
Arrive at Haddo Jetty (Gate No. 3, Port Blair) at least 45–60 minutes before departure.
Carry original ID proof and your e-ticket.
Check-in counters usually close 15 minutes before departure, and boarding gates shut 10 minutes before.
That’s it — once onboard, sit back and enjoy the turquoise sea, gentle breeze, and anticipation of paradise waiting for you at Havelock or Neil Island.
Book in Advance
During October–March (peak season), ferries sell out quickly. Book at least 2–3 weeks before travel.
Plan Around Flights
If you land in Port Blair and want to sail the same day, ensure at least 90–120 minutes between flight landing and ferry departure.
Seasickness? No Worries
Choose a lower deck seat, carry a motion sickness tablet, and avoid a heavy meal just before boarding.
Which Ferry is Best for You?
First-timers: try Makruzz for comfort.
Budget travellers: Green Ocean.
Those prone to seasickness: Nautika (catamarans feel steadier).
Weather Caution
Monsoon months (Jun–Sep) may see delays. Always check updates and keep buffer days in your itinerary.
Q: Can I reschedule or cancel my booking?
Yes, TryTrabby follows flexible policies. If cancelled 48 hrs in advance, minimal charges apply. Within 24 hrs, no refund.
Q: Do ferries have luggage allowance?
Yes, usually around 20 kg per passenger + 7 kg hand luggage. Check operator rules.
Q: Can I carry snacks or drinks?
Yes, but most ferries also have a pantry.
Q: Which is faster — ferry or government ship?
Private ferries (Makruzz, Nautika, Green Ocean) are much faster and more comfortable than government ferries.
