LianeLeTendre said:By far the most cost effective solution to the access problem would be a modern reliable fast ferry system.
The addition of some modern hydrofoils (from Puerto Rico, St. Maarten or St. Thomas) would also kick things up a notch or 10 and add a certain bit of fun and excitement to travel between the islands.
While I agree about a modern, efficient, well-run ferry system vs an improved, jet-capable EIS, I don't recall those Russian hydrofoils exactly working out in the late 90s! And I think that the potential seas would make for some pretty crappy and/or canceled trips between San Juan and the BVI or the BVI and Sint Maarten in the winter months.
Anyone know anything about commercial hovercraft?
