CAR RENTAL: You have to rent a car, at least for one day and go around the island. Most of agencies offer unlimited mileage and pickup and delivery service might be available. Avis, Budget-rent-a-car, Hertz, etc.
FERRY: We didn’t take it. But we heard there were hourly departure from Marigot to Anguilla that costs 22$US for the roundtrip (in 1996).
TAXIS: Taxis are unmetered but the rates are determined by the Governement, for two people. The driver will expect a 10% to 15% tip. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

You can take a water taxi from the port to the town of Phillipsburg. It costs $3 or $5 per person (my memory is failing me at the moment for the exact amount), and they give you an arm band which is good for unlimited trips throughtout the day. I took this picture on one of our trips across the bay leaving from Phillipsburg - it gives you some idea of the clarity/color of the water here.
There are also taxis and bus tours of the island. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

To get to Saba you can either go by boat tours or small plane from St. Maarten, Saba's airport can only handle small prop. planes and its runway begins at one cliff and ends at another (I'd take the boat).
Once in St. Maarten RENT A CAR. There is so much to explore on the island.
In Saba, if coming by boat, there are usually a few taxis that greet you at the dock and are ready to take you on a full day tour. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Rent a old car, should not be too difficult 'cause there are only old cars in Curaçao.
Be aware of other travellers, signs and traffic lights are ignored.
I had drivinglessons on a motorcycle, it's a funny way to see the island. And.... learning how to drive a motorcycle.

Just hire a old car, like the one of the picture ( a Lada ).
The locals drive like crazy, drive very carefully. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

All flights arrive at Flamingo International Airport, only a five-minute drive from Kralendijk
Best way to explore the island is by car or by bicycle. US, Canadian, and European driver licenses are valid for use on the island. Be careful of the goats, donkeys and pedestrians that roam the island's roads. All traffic keeps to the right, and international highway signs are used. Speed limit is 40 km per hour (25 mph) in town and 60 km
to 80 km per hour (38-50 mph) in the countryside. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

Obviously by airplane!
From Europe I think you can only still fly with KLM directly. Other arilines will all fly to Miami from where you can take a transferflight with Antillian Airlines. This is the difference with for instance Aruba, where you will find other airlines as well, such as American Airlines.
Taxi's could be used as an alternative. However, I would always try and rent a car to travel from beach, to hotel, to restaurant, to nightlife. Most likley cheaper but definitely more flexible. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
