What's the easiest place / way to drop off 2 guests who aren't staying the whole charter. They will need to catch a ferry from Tortola to St Thomas for a flight (not sure the time yet). Considering Roadtown versus West End. We have a PC so either won't be out of the way. Would a taxi from Trellis, CGB be easy as well depending on where we are? Thoughts and suggestions appreciated. It will be a Wednesday.

West end is easy.

I would use west end. Stay overnight or arrive early. Get ferry tickets, drop garbage in the dumpster then have breakfast at D Best cup

why not sail them to St.Thomas and overnight in Christmas Cove or St.John. It's a great way to spend a day

Drop them at the most convenient spot for YOU not for them. A taxi ride from Trellis to either WE or RT can be a fun way to see the big rock you have been sailing around. Remember they can also get ferry from VG to RT to STT or direct to STT depending on the day.

We seem to run into this scenario quite a bit between the ferry to St Thomas and people catching flights out Beef Island. One other option we have used is staying at a marina that has a guest ferry back to Tortola which also opens up Peter Island and Scrub Island.

Did this from Cane Garden Bay as well.
Short taxi ride over to West End for the ferry.
