Haddo Jetty is a passenger ferry terminal in Port Blair. Private inter-island services commonly use it, but the terminal and reporting instructions on your issued ticket take priority. Haddo and Phoenix Bay are different locations: confirm the name before arranging a taxi.

Where Is Haddo Jetty?
Haddo Jetty — also written Haddo Wharf — is the passenger ferry terminal in the Haddo neighbourhood of Port Blair, on the Andaman Islands. It’s run by the Port Management Board, and the entrance is marked by a blue “Passenger Terminal” gate off the main Haddo road. This is the departure point for the fast private catamarans that connect Port Blair with the two islands most visitors are heading to: Havelock and Neil.
Use a current map route from your hotel or airport to the terminal on your ticket. Road time depends on the pickup point, traffic and access arrangements; we have not verified a fixed distance or taxi fare for every journey.
Haddo Jetty vs Phoenix Bay Jetty: Don’t Mix Them Up
This is the single most common Port Blair mistake, and it can cost you your ferry. Port Blair has three separate jetties, each serving a different kind of boat:
| Jetty | What departs here | How to book |
|---|---|---|
| Haddo Jetty (Haddo Wharf) | Private catamaran ferries to Havelock & Neil — Makruzz, Nautika, Green Ocean, ITT Majestic | Online, in advance |
| Phoenix Bay Jetty | Government (DSS) ferries to Havelock, Neil, Rangat, Diglipur & the outer islands | Check current DSS/STARS release notice and counter arrangements |
| Aberdeen Jetty / Water Sports Complex | Ross Island & North Bay harbour boats and glass-bottom cruises | Local counter / operator |
Check the departure jetty printed on your issued ticket before arranging transport. An online booking alone does not identify the jetty: government tickets can also be booked through STARS. Haddo and Phoenix Bay are separate terminals.

Haddo Jetty Ferry Timings
The dated inventory examples include early, midday and afternoon departures. Select a sailing that leaves time for check-in; an early departure does not guarantee calm seas. For practical comfort advice, see the motion-sickness guide.
Exact times shift by operator and season, so confirm your sailing against the live Andaman ferry schedule when you book rather than relying on a fixed table.
Getting to Haddo Jetty from the Airport
Ask your accommodation or transport provider for a current quote and allow time for airport baggage collection as well as the drive. A map’s driving estimate does not include ferry check-in or boarding deadlines.
- Read the terminal name and reporting time on your issued ticket.
- Share that terminal with your driver; do not say only “the jetty”.
- Use a Haddo passenger terminal map search as a starting point, not a verified current entrance pin.
- Follow current staff directions for the correct gate; the reference photograph above shows a gate marked OUT.
- Carry your issued ticket and matching original ID; confirm the operator’s ticket-format requirements.
- Check luggage rules, boarding assistance and the reporting deadline before leaving your hotel.
One honest warning about same-day connections: if your flight lands in Port Blair the same morning you want to sail, it’s tight. Morning ferries check in early, and any flight delay can cost you the boat. If you can, fly in the day before and stay a night in Port Blair — or read our how to reach Havelock guide for the timing maths on a same-day link.
When to Arrive & How Boarding Works
Plan to reach Haddo Jetty 45–60 minutes before departure, and more in peak season (roughly December–January and the long weekends). Arrive early and you’ll find your operator’s counter, check in, and drop your luggage without stress; cut it fine and you’ll be pushing through a packed forecourt looking for the right queue.
The boarding sequence is straightforward once you’re there:
- Find your operator’s check-in counter inside the terminal (Makruzz, Nautika, Green Ocean and ITT each have their own).
- Show your issued ticket and matching identification — follow its format instructions, save an offline copy and consider a printed backup.
- Hand over checked luggage at the counter; keep valuables and travel documents with you.
- Wait in the seating area until your sailing is called, then walk down to the pontoon to board.
Allow extra time for queues and follow the reporting deadline on your ticket. A general arrival suggestion does not override an operator’s cutoff.
Facilities at Haddo Jetty
Terminal facilities and opening hours can change. Confirm availability if you rely on any of the following:
- Snack stalls and a small shop for water, chips, biscuits and cold drinks — worth stocking up before a 90-minute-plus crossing.
- A covered waiting area with seating.
- Washrooms (basic; go before you board).
- Parking and a taxi stand in the forecourt.
Review the selected checkout total and ticket instructions. BYF private checkout includes the government Port Service Fee; this guide does not direct you to pay that fee again at the terminal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Haddo Jetty in Port Blair?
Haddo Jetty is in the Haddo area of Port Blair. Check the exact terminal and gate against your ticket and a current map; this guide does not guarantee a fixed airport transfer time.
Which ferries leave from Haddo Jetty?
Private operators commonly use Haddo for inter-island departures. Check the exact terminal printed on your selected private or government ticket; do not infer a government jetty from a private ferry guide.
Is Haddo Jetty the same as Phoenix Bay Jetty?
No. Haddo and Phoenix Bay are separate terminals. Check the departure jetty on your issued ticket; both private and government services may be booked online, so the booking channel alone is not a reliable guide.
How far is Haddo Jetty from Port Blair airport?
Check a current route estimate from your actual pickup point and obtain a taxi quote. Add baggage collection, check-in and boarding time; no fixed airport-to-jetty transfer time is guaranteed here.
How early should I reach Haddo Jetty?
Arrive 45–60 minutes before departure — and a little more during peak season. Check-in and luggage drop happen at your operator’s counter, and the 6:00–9:00 AM window gets busy with overlapping departures.
Do the early morning ferries have calmer seas?
Not necessarily. Wind, swell and local weather vary. Choose a departure that fits your itinerary, check current advisories and do not assume an early ferry guarantees a smooth crossing.
