The one's I've contacted said you taxi from STT/CA to Red Hook and they pick you up there.

It more than doubles the normal 22 mile run from Red Hook to West End and return.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain

It's just a matter of efficiency. It's (usually) faster to drive from CA to Red Hook than to motor along the entire south coast of St. Thomas, saves fuel and hours on the marine engines, and frequently that can be a rather rough patch of water and not much fun for folks who may or may not be boaters and used to such rides. Or to put it another way, let the taxi cabs do what they can do, use the boats to do what only a boat can do.

Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.
