We stopped using the ferries years ago to get to the BVI. The best option is to pick up or meet your boat in St. Thomas if you can make that work. If you must get to the BVI then the best option is a flight to SJU and then have a charter flight meet you. We have never had a bad experience traveling through San Juan. Over the years our friends and crews have experience great angst and disappointment trying to make the combination of plane, taxi, ferry, taxi to the BVI work. We no longer support those sailing with us taking the ferry to join or leave us. The angst that is repeated in words over and over here on TTOL with ferry travel is just not worth it for our holidays. To many the charter flight is the highlight of the trip. The growing option is direct flights to boats on St. Lucia. Cuba will and is changing everything. When the 9,000 foot runway is finished on St. Vincent more direct flights to sailing will be open. Hopefully the powers that be in the USVI and BVI read all this and work towards a combined effort to manage airlift in and out of all the Virgin Islands.
