YAFQ... Yet another ferry question - 11/05/2022 01:06 PM

So we will be returning from Roadtown to STT on the 30th November.. for a 1 pm flight.

My assumption is that the 10am ferry will be to tight. dont want to get the 7.30 ferry

So looking at Aquatic rentals at 9.00am . At aprrox what time will the ferry get to Red Hook.?

Thanks

Bob

Its 17.1nm total including the stop in Cruz Bay to clear in (I believe Aguatic clears in there, but you should confirm). Travel time dock to dock will be about an hour. the only unknown is the clear-in time at CBP. Say 30 minutes. So figure about 1.5 hours total. Hope that helps.

I believe Aquatic runs to Red Hook, so add about 30 minutes for the land taxi to STT. I have not used Aquatic before. Hopefully another on TTOL has recent experience they can share with you.

Nice customer service, left on 9:09AM, so pretty much on time.
Cleared customs in St John, after waiting a bit for multiple water taxis to free up the dock for the ferry.
Arrived in Red Hook at 11:10AM, hopped in a shared taxi van, $15/per person to arrive at the airport at 11:40AM.
Hope this is helpful info

Thanks for the replies .

Ironically Aquatic rentals do not run on Wednesdays in November….so it’s the 7.30am ferry !!

Also the Native Sons, west end to Red Hook seems to be having issues….cancelling last weekends schedules.

Advise checking details in advance as web site is not up to date.
