We've done the SJU-EIS (Beef Island/Tortola)-SJU route on Cape Air a few times and have been very happy with it. Very reliable and we booked it again for June. One thing to watch for with that route is that they operate a Cessna 402, which is a smaller aircraft and if you check a lot of bags you may run into a weight limitation - meaning, your bags will follow you on another flight (or next scheduled flight). We had this happen to us the first time when we brought a lot of dive gear and learned our lesson. They were great about it and brought our bags to The Moorings base about an hour after we arrived. They also hung in there after Irma and Maria - and I give them a lot of credit for that.

I would not recommend you leave the airport in SJU for the 3 hour layover.

Enjoy your trip!
