Description
Island-hopping in the Caribbean is the classic shape of a trip here — cruise itineraries that hit four ports in a week, sailing charters through the Grenadines, or a structured St Lucia-Martinique-Dominica chain using the ferry between them. The Blikst Caribbean eSIM covers 25 island nations and territories on one profile, which means you don't swap SIMs at every port. Coverage includes the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, the ABC islands (Aruba is not in the list, but Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, and Curaçao are), Bermuda, the Lesser Antilles from Anguilla down through St Kitts, Antigua, Dominica, Martinique, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and the three Guianas region (French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname). El Salvador is also included.
How the network roams across islands
The eSIM attaches to different carrier partners on different islands — Digicel is the single most common, with reach across most English-speaking Caribbean states; Cable and Wireless (Flow) covers many of the same islands plus Turks and Caicos; Aliv operates in the Bahamas; Telefónica is the partner in El Salvador; Outremer Télécom handles French Antilles; Curaçao's local carriers cover the ABC-adjacent islands. The plan switches carriers automatically as you move between islands — you'll notice the network name change on your phone, which is normal. Speeds run 3G / 4G / 5G depending on the island and carrier.
Coverage by island region
The Bahamas (Nassau, Paradise Island, Freeport, the Exumas) has good Aliv 4G on the main populated cays and drops on uninhabited ones. Jamaica's Digicel covers Kingston, Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios with strong 4G. Turks and Caicos runs on Cable (Flow) with solid Provo coverage. The Cayman Islands (Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, Cayman Brac) have full 4G on Grand, lighter on the sister islands. Barbados, Antigua, St Lucia, Grenada, St Kitts, and St Vincent all have Digicel 4G through main settlements and the resort coasts. Martinique and French Guiana use Outremer and are technically French territory with better-than-average regional coverage. Dominica has patchy coverage in the interior rainforest; the coast is fine. Sailing through the Grenadines between Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, and Union Island is mostly in-signal near the populated islands and offline on transits.
Border and port behaviour
Cruise passengers benefit most here. Instead of paying $15 per day in at-sea roaming (where available) or juggling multiple port-specific SIMs, the plan attaches to whichever local tower is in range when the ship is in port. It doesn't work mid-Atlantic or between islands when you're not near any tower. Charter sailors in the BVI, St Vincent and the Grenadines, or St Lucia's Pitons area will see coverage pop back on as they near each anchorage and drop during open-water transits. Flights between islands (LIAT, Caribbean Airlines, Interisland) are short enough that the eSIM simply hands off on landing.
What's NOT in the plan
A few notable Caribbean destinations aren't on this profile: Aruba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the US Virgin Islands. For those, use country-specific plans or, in Puerto Rico's case, the North America regional plan. Also note El Salvador appears on this Caribbean plan as a network-routing artefact — if your trip is El Salvador-focused, a country-specific plan is more cost-effective.
Cost vs. cruise roaming or island SIMs
Cruise-line roaming add-ons typically run $15–$20 per day. Buying a SIM at each port is a non-starter for anyone with more than two stops — you'd spend the cruise queuing at Digicel shops. A Caribbean eSIM lets you step off the gangway in Basseterre, St John's, Castries, or Bridgetown already online. For land-based island-hopping using LIAT or inter-island ferries, the cost advantage over four separate SIMs is significant.
Local apps across the region
- WhatsApp: The connective tissue of Caribbean tourism. Villa hosts, charter captains, tour operators, island taxi drivers — all WhatsApp-first.
- Google Maps: Reliable on main roads in most islands. Dominica's interior, Grenada's nutmeg-growing inland, and St Vincent's leeward side need offline tiles.
- Navionics or Windy: If you're sailing, both are standard.
- Ride apps: Vary by island. Uber doesn't cover most of the region; local dispatch numbers and WhatsApp are the norm in smaller islands. Jamaica has some app-based options.
Plan sizing by trip length
A one-week cruise with 4–5 port days works on 3–5 GB. A two-week multi-island land trip wants 10 GB. A month-long sailing charter through the Grenadines or down-island fits 20 GB.
Install on home Wi-Fi before you fly, land or dock at the first island, and the plan attaches to Digicel, Flow, Aliv, or Outremer depending on where you are.

eSIM FAQ
An eSIM, or Embedded SIM, is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a mobile plan without using a physical SIM card. It is built directly into your smartphone, smartwatch, or tablet and provides the same functionality as a physical SIM. With eSIM, switching between carriers or adding a secondary number becomes seamless and hassle-free.
Getting an eSIM is simple! Check if your device supports eSIM technology. Then, purchase an eSIM plan from your preferred carrier or from our website. After purchase, you’ll receive a QR code or activation details to set up the eSIM on your device in minutes.
Most modern smartphones, including the latest iPhones, Samsung Galaxy models, and Google Pixel devices, are eSIM compatible. Check your device settings under “Cellular” or “Mobile Data” to see if eSIM options are available. Alternatively, refer to your device’s specifications or contact us for guidance.
The number of eSIMs you can have depends on your device. For example, most iPhones allow multiple eSIM profiles but only one active eSIM at a time. Some Android devices support dual-active eSIMs, giving you more flexibility. Check your device’s specifications for details.
Activating an eSIM involves a few easy steps: 1. Purchase an eSIM plan from our website or your carrier. 2. Scan the provided QR code using your device’s camera or enter the activation code manually. 3. Follow the on-screen instructions to add the eSIM profile to your device. Once activated, your eSIM is ready to use!
To activate an eSIM on iPhone: 1. Go to Settings > Cellular > Add Cellular Plan. 2. Scan the QR code from your eSIM provider or enter the activation details manually. 3. Choose your preferred settings for data, calls, and messaging, then tap Done. Your eSIM is now set up and ready to use.
Yes, eSIM offers several advantages over traditional SIM cards: Convenience: No physical SIM card required. Flexibility: Easily switch between carriers or plans. Space-saving: Frees up internal space in devices for additional features. Eco-friendly: Reduces plastic waste. Upgrade to eSIM and experience seamless connectivity like never before.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to transfer your eSIM using the same QR code, as QR codes can only be scanned once for security reasons. If you wish to use your eSIM on a new device, you will need to contact your carrier to request a new activation code or QR code. Once issued, you can set up the eSIM on your new device following the standard activation process.
