We have party of 4. If we get more than 5 in party the cost would be 95pp plus 40 for C&I. the taxiwould drop us off in Red Hook so cab is needed from there as well. Feel free to PM me as well if you are interested.

Definitely no service or expense being covered by that $40. Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain

I have always used in Tortola "Island Birds" ( Bob Lamier from Maine) They have always been right on time to meet you at the airport and their planes have a strict maintenance program.

We are bringing our boat back on Saturday to Moorings and I have the 4pm flight to MIA on AA and the rest of my crew on DL at about 4:50. If we are on the noon RTFF do you think we will have any issues? Insight appreciated.
