Thinking about booking a water taxi for the trip from Nanny Cay to St. Thomas for a 3:20 flight out of St. Thomas. We are trying to avoid any ferry drama. We are at least 5 adults, but may be as many as 11. Any suggestions for which water taxi company to go with? And how early would we need to schedule for? We have Global Entry and Premier Access, but not sure I remember STT have a dedicated security lane for either

leeguice said: For at least 1 year Ocean Dreams is the only water taxi that can work inside the BVI and both dropoff and pickup at any spot within BVI, not just West End/Soper's. Christopher and family are great people to deal with. A five star recommendation! Foxy's Water Taxi can offer this serve too. We used them in May and they were great.

I don't think that is a bad price at all..be better if was not so deceptive. There is nothing that foxy or Dohms or anyone else does for you clearing customs in the USVI... There is no fee charged by US customs..each individual needs to stand before the Immigration and customs officer with their bags passport and form filled out. Pretty much the same going to the BVI unless you consider the captain carrying passports and document to C&I is worth 40$ a head.

It did cover the BVI departure fee for us and the captain. He picked us up in the East End and took us to customs in Soper's Hole, he took in all the paperwork, we sat on the boat. We never had to go into customs.

Thanks! 10 of us took Dohm's from STT (Red Hook) to West End and then taxied to Road Town. The costs pp: 72.50 + 25 customs + tip + 2 land taxies = $135 pp. It was an enjoyable experience considering we traveled with 5 coolers + all our stuff. They took good care of us, but I was surprised that we did have to get in line and personally clear customs after reading other posts that only the captain did that. We then took the ferry on our return - on a Monday it wasn't nearly as awful as it was last year on a Sunday. However, even though it was a small ferry and few people, we had to wait an hour amongst the fumes at Customs in STT because their computer system went down.
