To Anguilla, Saba, and St. Barts. Not to Statia. I did St Martin ->
Anguilla one way. I flew for all the other hops.

I'd never do Martinique -> Guadeloupe again. A huge time waster. Next time
I'd fly.

I think there is a ferry between Curacao and Bonaire. Then there is one
between Grenada and Carriacou. You can hire a boat to get between Carriacou
and Union Island. Easier if you go Carriacou -> Union Island.

Then there are freighters that go between some of the islands. Some of the
freighters probably start in Miami or Fort Lauderdale and then go to the
islands.

And if you have some skill, like sailing or cooking, you may be able to
join a private yacht to get between some of the islands.
