Island Birds on the other hand said they thought (hoped?) only a few weeks. At any rate the very nice FlyBVI agent said to at least be aware a backup plan might be needed. It’s a lot of coordinating with this many people. So flying SJU to EIS ... Fairly similar? The ferry seems to run frequently enough I guess. Do you cab to the ferry? Just was loving the indulgence and ease of knowing we could all get there more efficiently. I certainly could have way worse problems I realize! If I opted for STT, what is the ballpark water taxi time and expense ?(tho one guest gets sea sick and may not love that after a long flight from seattle) But I’m curious. Any help would be appreciated


From St Thomas to VG, Speedy has a 4PM direct ferry on Saturday. It takes an hour and a half and used to cost around $50-60 per person a few years back. Some others on TTOL probably know the current cost. It used to run Tues, Thurs, and Sat. (before Irma). By next year, maybe they will be back to the 3 times a week schedule. Good Luck!
