Definitely worth taking the car barge. Do not buy a round trip ticket. Try and hit the second to last returning car barge to make certain your wheels are not stuck on STJ overnight.
You need to make certain your car rental agency allows their vehicles to go to STJ. Hertz does not.
You've been around and probably know this, but If you do not have 4WD I would recommend that you do not go past Cinnamon Bay on North Shore Road. If its raining I would not go past Trunk Bay on North Shore Road.

Good links, thanks for the info. Might take the ferry over to JVD. even though we were there this month by boat. Our friends haven't but very much want to visit Soggy Dollar and area. Back to Gertrude's and lunch would be good though.
Wonder if ferry wouldn't be better than the party boats we saw. Yuck! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

I always recommend the ferry instead of the party barge for JVD. You get more time on the beach and less time with people you don't know. But, STT has a lot of fun areas. Check out Hull Bay, Water Island/Honeymoon Beach, Brewers Bay in addition to the usual Magens/East End standards. I'll be honest, we tend to run past a lot of the STT attractions to hit STJ, but St. Thomas has a lot going for it.

One thing to remember, the last car ferry is 7 pm. If you want to stay later, you are better off taking the people ferry.
