My ferry rule: Never book in advance and never buy round trip. We always walk up and take the next boat leaving. Very seldom are the ferries at capacity. That said, your late group should have no problem making Speedy's 4PM to VG even wiht a little delay in arriving. Speedy is by far the most reliable ferry but if the other party is delayed to long none of the other companies will give credit for a Speedy's ticket.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain

camview said:Hi all! I am looking for advice. There are 9 of us leaving STT on 3/12/15 to Virgin Gorda. The Ferry leaves at 4:00. 7 from our party arrive at the airport at 2:30, 2 of us will be in STT already (arrive on 3/9/15). When should we book our Ferry? Concerned that the people arriving that day could encounter some delays, so if we purchase in advance can the ticket be transferred to another ferry leaving for Tortola (an then over to VG). Do you think tickets will be available that morning and we could purchase all 9 tickets then (after checking flight schedule)? Thank you in advance for any advice!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> If you're planning to leave STT for VG on 3/12/15 you've already missed the ferry! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!

On second thought, based upon recent reliability reports, the 3/12/2015 4:00 pm ferry may not yet have left the dock! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
