I doubt a water taxi both ways for seven (two round-trips for boat operator) will be much cheaper than a private day excursion. All commercial (for hire) boats need trade licenses, insurance, etc., so their costs are high. They also expect a tip.

If cost is your driver, buy round-trip ferry tickets to VG and rent a car.

Thanks!

Cost isn't the main driver.....I just don't need all the extras like rum punch on board and a captain who feels the need to entertain. I guess the main driver would be the ability of getting to and from on our time table vs the cruise line or the ferry's. I'm spoiled laugh

Do you have a favorite water taxi company?

There is a private charter option but that’s pricey…Sunshine Powerboats with Captain Malcolm is one…
