You can get to SABA in 90
minutes by sea and 12 minutes by
air from the neighbouring island
of St. Maarten. Going to Saba by
air is certainly not for the faint of
heart. The runway at its Juancho
E. Yrausquin Airport is only 400m
in length and reputed to be the
shortest commercial air strip in the
world! But visitors can rest assured
that their landings and take-offs
will be expertly executed as there
have been no accidents during any
of the five flights to and from Saba
daily.
Ferry Schedule can be found here

It is pleasant to note that with little
or no crime, Saba is considered to
be one of the safest places in the
world.
