| Q. |
I'm a nervous flyer and don't think I can do the flight in the small plane, are there any ferry services to Saba from St. Maarten |

The landing is unforgetable on Saba, Winair has great pilots but if you're really that nervous... Yes there are two ferry services: The Dawn II and the edge ferry service, both take between 1 and a half to 2 hours to reach Saba. |

| About Saba Island: |
|
| Q. |
Is the tap water safe to drink? |
| A. |
All water on Saba is collected from rainfall in cisterns, jury is out on this one, studies show that it is safe to drink but many choose to drink bottled water, however stomach upsets due to consumption of Saba tap water are very rare! |
|
| Q. |
Will my European/American electrical appliances work on island? |
| A. |
If you're from the U.S.A. or Canada it's not a problem Saba has 110v current, however coming from europe you will require adaptors (as general voltage in europe is 240V) and/or transformers, laptops however are fine as they have a power source that will handle both voltages (same goes for i-Pods, cell chargers and many other such devices). |
