In June, Sebastian Transportation charged $9 pp one way from the ferry dock to Hodges Creek Marina, a little over 4 miles, for 11 people. Beef Island looks like another 3.5 miles or so. Knock off .5 miles because you are going to the Moorings, not the ferry dock, so 7.0 miles. $18 pp may not be too far off.

The published taxi fare for 3+ people from the Beef Island airport to Wichham's Cay II is $12pp each way. Each passenger gets 1 free bag and additional bags (including handbags/backpacks/etc) are $1 each. Mooring should be able to honor that rate.

janeoc said: We have two families (total 8 people) flying into Beef Island. Moorings is quoting $18 pp one way. How much would a taxi cost? Can anyone recommend a charter service?
ThAnks again for everyone's help. $144 for a 5 mile drive is totally outrageous <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

NCSailor said: If you use the Moorings transportation you may have to wait for other groups to fill up the bus or buses. We always take a taxi so we are not sitting waiting for others to clear C&I. That, and sometimes the entire safari van gets to sit and wait while two of the passengers get cocktails from inside the airport. 10 minutes waiting for those jack a#%#% that just had to have a drink for the ride. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
