You were on the night ferry from Tobago to Trinidad and was sure you saw the Southern cross and the Pole star very low in the northern and southern skies is this possible?

Yes, it is. With a low, dark horizon, the pole star, Polaris, is visible anywhere more than about 5 degrees north of the equator; on the other hand, Crux, the southern cross, is visible (at the right time of night) anywhere south of 25 degrees north latitude. Since Trinidad is about 11 degrees north latitude, it is ideally situated for such a double sighting.
