Castries is served by [[George F. L. Charles Airport]].<ref name="georgeflcharleslocation">{{cite web |title=SLASPA - George F.L. Charles Airport |url=https://www.slaspa.com/gflc/index.php/en/about |website=SLASPA |access-date=4 January 2023 |language=en-gb}}</ref> Passengers on longer flights arrive at [[Hewanorra International Airport]], near [[Vieux-Fort]]. The drive between Hewanorra and Castries can take an hour and a half. Helicopter service between the airports shortens travel time.

Ferries run between Castries and [[Fort-de-France]], [[Martinique]]. Yachts may dock in Castries, though they must clear customs first. When the customs area is full, yachts must anchor at the quarantine dock to wait; those that do not are fined. Afterward, yachts may anchor in front of Castries Town or Vigie Creek.

Standard bus routes run from Castries to all outlying districts on the island. The buses are private (not subsidized by government) bearing green license plates with numbers that start with an ''M''&mdash;for example, ''M456''.
