I'm sure this topic has been covered a multitude of times, so I apologize in advance for the repetitiveness.

We are a group of 16 headed down for a week on two cats June 4 - 11. For arrival and departure we are all flying in and out of STT. For the arrival leg, and subsequent trip from STT to Tortola, it would seem as though a water taxi is twice the price of taking the ferry. In your opinion, is the cost worth the reward?

On departure, it seems as though the ferry is fine because, let's be honest, who really wants to leave anyway?

Any thoughts/opinions/suggestions on water taxi vs ferry?
