That's actually about the going rate.
We use Wells, who hangs around Frenchtown and CYOA. His number is 340-513-2722. He's very reliable.
I doubt you'll do better than $50 for 4 people with him though.
EDIT: Wells costs us somewhere around $10-$15 a head to go from the airport to the CYOA dock. The ferry dock is not all that far from CYOA, and probably roughly equal distance from the airport.

The original poster said $50 per PERSON. Not sure if that's what he meant, but that's what he said.

Taxi Rates in USVI are regulated. There use to be a few illegal operators, but you did not see them around the airport. Here is a line to the rates: STT Taxi RatesScroll to the bottom for rates by location (To - From)

The taxi business here is so very convoluted. There is a "taxi association" that is supposed to police all the taxis. There are separate organizations that have the right to pick up from the airport or the ferry dock. The owner of the cab is supposed to have a medallion, but they are available for sale and, more frequently, rent, from people who bought them when the Model A was the mode of transportation. And then there is the corruption...

There are few people in the world who are getting the cash flow of the all cash taxi business. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cloud.gif" alt="" />
