Ahoy Captains,
Very Good news regarding Direct flights between Miami and the BVI –
https://www.bvibeacon.com/american-airlines-to-up-miami-flights/ https://www.bvibeacon.com/american-airlines-sets-record/ https://www.virginislandsnewsonline...rly-morning-flights-to-miami-vi-routeAnd Or, may I suggest You consider flying through San Juan P.R. (SJU) to the BVI (EIS).
Please book directly with the Airline.
Cape Air has code share with some of the major airlines. Please do Not use InterCaribbean.
With most code share it is the responsibility of the Airline to get You and your crew and all their bags to the BVI, regardless of winter weather or aircraft issues or aircraft crew issues such as time-outs or virus tests.
There are more flights through San Juan (SJU) to the USA, than St. Thomas (STT) to the USA, so there is more flexibility in SJU for delays and re-booking, and possibly a better price through SJU.
If You are brave enough, you may consider ‘hacking’ a separate ticket RT between SJU/BVI for a better price.
You can connect to an evening flight from SJU to the BVI and enjoy a Sleepaboard.
If you need to overnight on the way down good options are SJU or FLL.
The Ferry cost is about $100 each way with Taxi and Taxes and Baggage costs.
The ferries are now within about $200 of the price of a flight with all the Taxes and Taxis and Baggage fees.
From Canada, Europe, and the USA, don't forget to check flights to St. Martin (SXM) and a flight on WinAir (WM 49) at 6:40 PM from St. Martin to the BVI.
https://www.bvibeacon.com/winair-eyes-new-flights-to-virgin-islands/ JetBlue is now offering discounted flights from FLL to SXM starting 4 Dec ‘25, complimented by WinAir's evening flight to the BVI.

You need to arrive before 15:30 / 3:3PM to have time to get your Luggage and catch a Taxi to catch the last Ferry at 4:30.
I strongly recommend Mr. Kevin Taxi - 1.340.643.0025
Or
When You arrive in STT and after You pick up your luggage go to the taxi dispatcher and ask for the Tortola Ferry Terminal.
You will be assigned a taxi van.
Inevitably You will have to wait for the Van to fill.
The Taxi is about $15 plus luggage & tip.
You will not need reservations for the Ferry.
Lots of room on a first come first serve basis.
If You have to wait more than 30 Minutes for the next Ferry there is a little restaurant & bar upstairs.
